                       EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1569 /72 laying down special measures for colza and
rape seed introduced a system of differential amounts designed to eliminate for
colza and rape seed harvested in the Community tie distortions caused by diffe­
rences between the ECU / national currency conversion rates used in the CAP and
the actual rates - The purpose of the system is precise realization of the object
of the Community aid scheme for colza seed /. i-e - to ensure that the cost price
of Community seed to the crusher is equal to the world market price and thus
                                      «
identical throughout the Community irrespective of the Member State in which the
seed was crushed and in the case of exported seed irrespective of the Member
State in which it originated-
In 1972 the diffrential amount system was not introduced for sunflower seed as
Community production was too small < 76 000 tonnes in 1972 ) to justify agri-
monetary measures - Since then production has developed strongly to reach
502 000 tonnes in 1981-
In the absence of a monetary adjustment system i ntra-Communily trade has increased
sharply and is now in excess of what would have been expected in a normal sit.uatior
The trade is from countries with weak currencies to those with stronger currencies
and it becomes more advantageous to operators in the latter countries to import
the greater the disparity between their country 's currency and that of the country
in which the seed is produced ^ There is now a risk of serious distortion of
competition between Community operators *
The purpose of this Regulation is to eliminate such distortion.

 TitE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
 Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Couni I Regulation No 136 / 66 / EEC of 22 September 1966 on the esta-
                                                                       (1 )

                                   (2)
by Regulation ( EEC ) No 1413 / 82     , and in particular Article 36 thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the          Commission, .
Whereas , on account , on the one hand , of the considerable increase in sunflower seed
production over the last years and of the development in trade in sunflower seed
b-.'iween the Member States , and on the other , of the present monetary situation , and in
t'"e absence of compensatory amounts , normal marketing conditions for sunflower seed
c.mnot apply ; whereas there is a consequent risk to the Member States that the market
 in sunflower will be thrown into confusion ;
i ppreas it appears justified to extend to sunflower seed the system of differential
amounts granted or levied on processed or exported colza or rape seed introduced by
Regulation ( EEC ) No 1569 /72 ^"^, as last amended by- Regulation ( EEC ) No 852 /78 ^^,

    production of sunf lowerseed to compensate for the monetary effects of the CAP *
     Based on present levels of aid and of the ECU tha system of differential amounts
    would reduce the cost of the aid by 13 mio ECU (-'or 12 months ) and by 6 Mio ECU
