        amending Regulation ( EEC ) No 1117/ 78 on the common organization
        of the market in dried fodder and Regulation ( EEC ) No 827/ 68 on
        the common organization of the market in certain products listed

COM ( 79 ) 458 final
 ---pagebreak---                          EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
During recent years , a very small number of factories within the Community ,
has started to produce a quantity ( estimated at 3,500 tonnes at present ) of
protein concentrates obtained from lucerne and grass . In 1978 the Council
decided that these concentrates should qualify for the support system provided
for under the common organization of the market in dried fodder ( Council Regu­
lation ( EEC ) No 1117/ 78 ), At the time it was felt that these products should
be classified under heading 23.07 C of the Common Customs Tariff ,
Production of 1 kg of concentrate also produces 10 kg of by-products Bnd the
manufacturing process is , in certain respects , similar to that involved in pro­
duction of artificially heat-dried fodder ; they can be distinguished from the
latter only by means of sophisticated methods of analysis in specialized labo­
ratories ,                                                                   •
In these circumstances, it was felt hitherto that these by-products could be
classified like artificially heat-dried fodder .
Recently , in spite of the difficulties in analysis explained above , the Common
Customs Tariff Nomenclature Committee reached the conclusion that both protein
concentrates obtained from lucerne juice and grass juice and the by-products
obtained during manufacture of those protein concentrates should be classified
under subheading 23,06 B of the Common Customs Tariff ,
The object of this proposal for a Regulation is to amend Regulation ( EEC )
No 1117/ 78 :
- by replacing , with respect to protein concentrates , the number ex 23,07 C
  of the CCT by the number ex 23,06 B , in accordance with the Ophion of the CCT
  Nomenclature Committee and
- by providing for express inclusion of the by-products obtained when manufactu­
  ring protein concentrates in Article 1 of the Regulation In question , since
  these products are used for the same purposes as the other products referred
  to therein .

amending Regulation ( EEC ) No 1117/ 78 on the common organization of the market in
dried fodder and Regulation ( EEC ) No 827 / 68 on the common organization of the market
in certain products listed in Annex II to the Treaty
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community , and in parti­
cular Articles 42 and 43 thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
                                                             (1)
Having regard to     the Opinion of the European Parliament      ,
                                                                      ( 2)
Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee          ,
Whereas protein concentrates obtained from lucerne juice and grass juice are covered
by Council Regulation ( EEC) No 1117/ 78 of 22 May 1978^on the commonorganization of
the market in dried fodder ; whereas these products appropriately fall under subhea­
ding 23.07 C of the Common Customs Tariff ; whereas , in view of the experience gained,
these products must be classified under subheading 23.06 B of the Common Customs
Tariff ; whereas in consequence Regulation ( EEC ) No 1117/ 78 should be amended ;
Whereas the by-products from mnaufacture of the said concentrates represent a new
product which , on account of these features , should'be classified within the same
tariff subheading as protein concentrates ; whereas , because of its use , this product
must fall within the scope of Regulation ( EEC ) No 1117/ 78;
Whereas the alterations reffered to above involve an adaptation to the Annex to Council
Regulation ( EEC ) No 827/ 68 of 28 June 1968 on the common organization of the market
                                                        (4)
