 ---pagebreak---                     EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
By Regulation ( EEC ) No 1431 / 82 the Council decided that with effect from
1 August 1982 peas and field beans harvested in the Community would qualify
for a system of aid when used for both animal feed and human consumption *
As far as peas and field beans used for animal feed are concerned, the
above-mentioned Regulation lays down that the aid is to be calculated on
the basis of the difference between the activating price for soya cake and
the world price for soya cake *
Such aid is indeed justified as far as peas and field beans incorporated
into animal feed are concerned , for in this case the products in question
are in direct competition with the other proteins available on the market ,
and in particular soya cake * On the other hand, such aid is not justified
in the case of Community products for consumption unrpocessed by certain
animals * Competition for these products comes from the same products impor­
ted from other countries .
In the current market situation the aid granted for the products in question
is higher than it need be­

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in
particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof ,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament^,
Whereas Council Regulation ( EEC ) Mo 1431 / 82"^ provides for a system of aid for peas
and field beans , whether used for human consumption or animal feed ;
Whereases regards peas and field beans for animal feed, the above-mentioned Regulation
lays down that the aid is to be calculated from the difference between the activating
price for soya cake and the world price for that product ;
Whereas the aid is also granted for Community products to be fed unprocessed to
certain animals ; whereas the said products are not in direct competition with soya cake ;
whereas , on the contrary, they are in direct competition with identical products im'-
ported from third countries ; whereas this situation should therefore be remedied by
calculating the aid on the basis of the difference between the guide price fixed for
peas and field beans and the price recorded on the world market for the same products ,

  OBSERVATIONS :            The aid to be granted for these special uses ( e-g - pigeons and other
                            birds ) would be about 50 % of the aid currently granted-
