 ---pagebreak---                         EXPLANATORY MEJ'lORAiIDUIi
 Since Council Regulation (ESC ) NO 2353/71 of 26 October 197 "! on the
 common organization of the market in seeds covers colza and rape seed
 for sowing, those seeds no longer come within the scope of Council
 Regulation No 136/66/£EC on the establishment of a common organization
 of the market in oils and fats .    The customs nomenclature should
 therefore be amended in respect of these products so that it corresponds -
 to tii? present situation .
 Furthermore , until 1 July 1972 ( date of the entry into force of
 Regulation (EEC ) NO 2358/71 ) colza and rape seed were eligibie for the
 export refunds provided for in Regulation No 13^/6o/EEC ; this is no
 longer the ease since , under Regulation (EEC ) No 2353/71 , a seed
 production aid is granted per 100 "kg cultivated.     However until now
 no aid              has been fixed for the seeds in question .    Since
 Community producers have had difficulty in changing over from one
 system to the other , measures should be adopted whereby export refunds
 can be granted up to 31 January 1973 in respect of colza and rape seed
 for sowing .   This is the object of the present draft proposal for a
 regulat ion .
Financial incidence
The proposed measure only affects a very small quantity of exports .
The resulting expenditures are , therefore , negligible and h?*ve practically
no effect on the overall expenditure occasioned by the expert refunds for
oil seeds . (Article 632 cf the European Community budget ).

  THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
  and in particular Article 43 thereof :
  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ;
  Having regard' to the Opinion of' the European " Parliament ;
. Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 ^^ of 26 October |1 971 on the
  common organization of the market . in seeds , covers . the oil - seeds - and
  oleaginous fruit for sowing which fall within tariff heading No' ex 12.01 ;
  whereas , therefore , those seeds no 'longer come within the scope of
  Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC           of 22 September 1966 .on the
  establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats ,
  as last amended by the Act^"^ annexed to the Treaty            concerning the
  accession of hew' Member States to the European Economic Community and
  to the European Atomic Energy Community , signed at Brussels on
  22 January 1972 ; whereas it is therefore necessary to rectify the
  nomenclature relating to the products listed in Article l(2)(a ) of
  Regulation No I36/60/EEC and in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC ) No 2358/71 ;
  whereas Regulation (EEC) No 950/68^-^ on the common customs tariff, as last

 Uhereas Regulation ( EEC ) No 2358/71 , which has applied since 1 July 1972 ,

 whereas , in order to facilitate transition from the system provided for
 in Article 28 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC to the new system , provision
 should be made for measures whereby export refunds could be granted
 during a limited period on colza and rape seed for sowing which are
 exported or for which advance fixing is requested during that period ;
