                         EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM                   j
Following the Judgment of the Court of Justice of 10 October 1978 ( Case 148/ 77 ),
ruling that all the provisions of the Treaty and secondary legislation must be
applied automatically to the overseas departments, unless special meaares are
adopted by the Council , the prupose of this proposal is to apply the special mea-
b*ure^ •*- - aspect fo soya beans provided for in Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1614 / 79
in those regions *
In view of the special production conditions in the overseas departments and of
the marketing strcutrures of soya beans , it has proved necessary to introduce
 rules adapted to these departments which simplify management and control ,.
Past exeperience ahs also shown that the dates of the marketing period for soya
beans should be altered and the procedure to be followed in cases of subsequent
amendments adjusted *
This proposal therefore provides for an amendment bringing forward the starting
date of the marketing year from 1 November to 1 October *

 amending Regulation ( EEC ) No 1614/ 79 Laying down special measures in respect
of soya beans                                                                        '
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
and in particular Article 43 thereof ,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament ( 1 ),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee ( 2 ),
Whereas Article 1(2 ) of Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1614/ 79 ( 3 )
fixes the dates for the beginning and end of the soya bean marketing year ;
Whereas experience has shown that these dates are not the most representative
of the period during which soya beans come to market ;      whereas therefore the
dates for the beginning and end of the soya bean marketing year should be
altered ;
Whereas it may in certain cases be necessary to alter these dates at
relatively short notice ;    whereas an appropriate procedure should be
instituted for making such alterations ;
Whereas Article 2 of Regulation ( EEC ) No 1614 / 79 provides for aid in respect
of soya beans harvested in the Community which is granted to any natural or
 legal person possessing adequate storage facilities and who has concluded a contrac
 with a producer which guarantees         payment of a minimum price to the latter ;
 whereas , to ensure that the aid scheme operates properly , the provisions in
 question establish a system for checking entitlement to aid ;
 Whereas , in the light of the specific situation with regard to the production
  and marketing of soya beans in the French overseas departments , the system of
  controls at the stage of initial marketing as introduced by the current
  Community provisions is not the most suitable system for beans produced in
  these departments ;   whereas furthermore , because of the scale of production in

the said departments the introduction of such a system would be
disproportionately costly in terms of the objective it served ;   whereas,
»;- srefore,the aid scheme should be adjusted to bring it more into line with
commercial conditions in the regions in question , while at the same time
simplifying its operation and control ; whereas , to that end , provision
should be made for granting aid to producers in respect of a level of
production established by applying a representative yield to areas sown
and harvested ,

           1 October and end on 30 September of the following year ."
2.  The following paragraph     is inserted in Article 2 :
    " 2a .   Notwithstanding paragraph 2 , the aid provided for
            in paragraph 1 shall , in the case of the French overseas
            departments , be granted to soya bean producers in respect of a
            level of production established by applying a representative yield
            to the areas on which soya beans have been sown and harvested ."
                                 Article 2
