 ---pagebreak---                               Explanatory Statement
            Proposed regulation of the Council concerning the limiting of
            compensatory amounts in the pigmeat arid egg , ov&l bum in , lactalbumin
            a.nd poultrymeat sectors
            Prom let May 1975 accession compensatory amounts , determined in
accordance with the arrangements laid down in Article 3 ( l ) of Regulations
(EEC ) N° 234/73 . 235/73 and 237/73 , will be applicable ,.
            From tha earns date , the levies will be inferior to the accession
compensatory amounts ; at the r same time additional amounts will apply ,
sometimes differentiated according to the origin of the goods , while for the
countries having guaranteed to respsct the sluicegate price , no additional
amount : is applicable ,
            Article 55 ( 6 ) of the Act of Accession specifies that the accession
compensatory amount levied or. granted by a Member State may not be greater
than the total amount levied by the sain® Member State on imports from third
countries .
            In the case where no additional amount is applicable the maximum
permitted level of the accession amount will be that of the levy .
            However , when additional amounts are in application , the total amount
levied on imports from third countries varies in relation to the produots and
the origins .
            To apply the arrangements laid down in Article 55 ( 6 ) of the Act ,
the financial and customs services of each Member State could have to pursue
such distinctions , whioh would lead to considerable administrative complications .
As well as this , additional amounts can be subjected to immediate modification
which would complicate in due course the sound administration of acoession
amounts . In addition such a process would permit evident possibilities of trade
diversion .
            In consideration of the above , it is necessary to provide for a
limitation of these compensatory amounts to the sale amount of the levy in the
sectors of pigmeat , eggs , ovalbumin , lactalbumin and poultrymeat .

by a Member State may not exceed the total amount levied by that same Member State

poultrymeat are calculated on the basis of the compensatory amounts applicable to

  Whereas the additional amounts vary according to product and origin ; whereas the
  upper limit provided for in the first subparagraph of Article 55(6 ) of the Act
  of Accession is applicable only where the total amount levied on imports is fixed at a
 single level and whereas the fixing of such a level is impossible as a result of
  the variable levels of the additional amounts ; whereas this situation is likely
  to cause deflections of trade ; whereas a derogation from the first subparagraph
  of Article 55(6 ) of the Act should be introduced under which no acoount is taken
  of the additional amount in determining the total amount levied on imports               thereby
 setting the upper limit for the compensatory amount at the level
