                               Explanatory memorandum                             ' .   *
 I. General remarks:'
     The common organization of the market in egtfs established by Council Regulation
     (EEC ) No 2771/75 consists in the main of a system of levies and sluice-gate pri­
     ces calculated on the basis of the prices of feed grain .
     To establish the amounl of the levy and the level of the sluice-gate price for '
     each product , the quantities of cereals required for the production of one kilo­
     gram of product must be determined , together with the other production and mar­
     keting costs .                           .
     Council Regulation (EEC )Wo 2773/75 laid down thj rules for such calculations and
     fixed the processing coefficients (quantities 01* cereals) and the standard amounts
     ( other costs) for eggs in shell for consumption and eggs for hatching.                 This Re­
     gulation , consolidated, in 1975 * contains the rules which the Council , adopted in
     July 1974 after examining the conditions governing the production and marketing
     of all "the products in the eggs 'sector* ( Regulation (EEC ) No 1716/74).
     It would now appear that , with regard to eggs for hatching , it is necessary to
     separate the e/;gs of turkeys and geese from those of other poultry , since very
     considerable differences have been observed in ' the production and marketing con- '
     ditions for -ihese various products .                          . '
