 ---pagebreak---                           EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
  GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS :
  The common organization of the market in poultrymeat established
  by Council Regulation ( EEC ) No . 2777/75 consists in the main of a
  system of levies and sluice-gate prices calculated on the basis
  of the prices of feed grain .          - -
  To establish the amount of the levy and the level of the sluice-
  gate price for each product , the quantity of cereals required for
  the production of one kilogram of product ,must be determined , to­
  gether with . the other production and marketing costs .
. Counci I Regulation ( EEC ) No . 2778 /75 laid down the rules for such
  calculations and fixed the processing coefficients ( quantities of
  cereals ) and the standard amounts (other costs ) for whole slaugh­
  tered poultry and for chicks .                                      -
  It would now appear that'/ some adjustments should be made tq the
  rules to take account of recent changes in production and marketing
  conditions .                                               -
  Thus for slaughtered turkeys , market developments demonstrate the
  necessity of introducing two commercial presentations : ''roasting -
  80 %" and " gri lling <- 73 %", these two commercial presentations .
  covering products of significantly different value . ■-        ' '■
  For these two presentations , processing coefficients and standard .
  amounts are proposed , as well as the new text under subheading
  02.02 A IV of the C.C.T.                                     '         ~
 ---pagebreak--- It is also proposed to increase the standard amount for slaughtered
ducks and geese „ For these products the augmentation of general
costs could not be compensated by an improvement in the conditions
of production and commercialization *

Whereas these elements have been fixed for turkeys without regard to
different commercial presentations ;
that the evolution of the trade shows the necessity of introducing two
different commercial presentations ;
that it is therefore necessary to fix , for these two presentations , the
elements for calculating the levy and the sluice-gate price ;
Whereas the examination of -the available data concerning the technical
performance and general costs , indicates the need to establish the
elements of calculation as follows :
- processing coefficient , used for calculating the levy :
  1 : 2.338 for slaughtered turkeys , plucked and drawn , without heads
            and feet , with hearts , liversand gizzards , hereinafter
            called " 80 % turkeys " ;                     •

- processing coefficient , used for calculating the sluice-gate price :
  1 : 2.275 for 80 % turkeys ;
  1 : 2.493 for 73 % turkeys ;
- standard amount :
     1.1875 ECU per k-Rogramme for 80 % turkeys ;
     1.3013 ECU per kilogramme for 73 % turkeys ;
Whereas for certain species , especially ducks , geese and turkeys , an
increase in the general costs is noted which has not been compensated
by an improvement in the conditions of production and commercialization ;
that for this reason it is appropriate to adjust the standard amounts for
these products ;
