                                 Explanatory Statement
      Council Regulation No I46/67/ESC adopted rules for the calculation of
levies and sluice-gate prices in relation to slaughtered poultry and in par­
ticular to slaughtered ducks .
      On a number of occasions during recent years , when it was found necessary
to fix supplementary amounts on the importation cf duck carcases difficulties
were experienced in the ascertainment of the offer prioe for the produce of
certain third countries offered at the frontiers of the Community .
      Within the management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs both the
national delegations and the Commission 's representatives have observed that
by defining three categories of slaughtered ducks instead of two market trends
could be followed more easily .
      Subsequently the new Member States have emphasized their interest in the
adoption of such a measure and the United Kingdom delegation at the Council
of Ministers stressed the importance of the Commission making a proposal as
soon as possible .
                                        *
                                     *     *
      At present the subheading 02.02 A II is differentiated as follows :
02.02 A II Ducks :
      a) Plucked, bled , not drawn or gutted with heads and feet , known
          as " 85 % ducks"
      b ) Plucked and drawn, without heads and feet , with ( or without ) hearts ,
          livers and gizzards , known as "70 $ ducks".
      It is proposed to add the following :
      c ) Plucked and drawn , without heads , feet , hearts , livers and gizzards ,
          known as "65 % ducks".
                                        *
                                     *     *
      This has no financial implications affecting the budget of the
Communities .

                               Proposal for a Council Regulation
                   amending Regulation No I46/67/EEC as regards the .
                   provisions for calculating the levy and the sluice
                   gate prices for certain slaughtered ducks .
 THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COIJiUNITIES ,
 Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ;
 Having regard to Council Regulation No 123/67/EEC           of 13 June 1967 on the
 common organization of the market in poultrymeat , as last amended by the
       (2)
 Act       concerning the Conditions of Accession and the Adjustments to the
 Treaties , and in particular Articles 4 (3 ) and ^ ( 5) thereof ;
 Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ;
                                                (3)
 Whereas Council RegulationJTo 146/67/EEC         'of 21 June 1967 contains provisions
 for calculating the levy on poultrymeat , and in particular lays down the
 quantity of feed grairf required for the production in the Community of one
 kilogramme of slaughtered poultry and the percentage of each type of' feed
 grain contained in that quantity ; whereas that Regulation also contains
 provisions for calculating the sluice-gate price for poultryueat , and in
 particular lays down the quantity of feed grain required for the production
 in third countries of one kilogramme of slaughtered poultry and the percentage
 of ep.ch type of feed grain , contained in that quantity and fixes a standard
 amount representing other feeding costs and overhead costs of production and
 marketing ;
 Whereas the abovementioned Regulation applies to slaughtered ducks in the "
 so-called; ."85 7y" &nd "70 /&" presentations ; whereas , however , as a result of
 developments on the duck market , it has become necessary to fix a separate
 levy and sluice-gate price for ducks offered for sale plucked and drawn ,
 without heads and feet and without hearts , livers and gizzards ; whereas ducks
 in this presentation may be referred to as " 65 i" ducks ;

        Whereas , since the feed grain quantity and the standard amount fixed for
         70 /o ducks relate to slaughtered ducks , plucked and drawn, without heads
        and feet , with hearts , livers and gizzards , it is possible , given a similar
        composition of the feed grain mixture , to determine the relevant figures for
        65 fo ducks by adjusting those for 70 % ducks in accordance with the increased,
        value of birds in the former presentation .
        The tariff nomenclature established pursuant to Regulation No 123/67/ ESC is
        incorporated in The Common Customs Tariff introduced by the Council regulation
