Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1900/74 of 15 July 1974 laying down special neasures
for soya "beans makes provision for the Council to adopt criteria for determining
the average world market price of soya beans , as well as general rules for granting
the subsidy and for checking eligibility for the subsidy#
This draft Regulation lays down provisions concerning such criteria and general
rules . As soya bean prices on the world market were higher than the guide price
fixed for soyabeans of Community origin during the representative period referred
to in Article 2 of Regulation ( EEC ) No 1900/74 » the Regulation set up for the
1974/75 marketing year was not able to have its full effect .
In view of the lack of experience gained , it is proposed that the provisions set up
for the 1974/75 marketing year be extended to that for 1975/76 with the exception
of those introducing a deadline for fixing the average world market price and the
indicative yield both of which have to be fixed taking into account of the progress
of the Community soya crop , of its sale and the evolution of the world market .
A deadline therefore does not allow these elements to be taken into account#

THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPE®* COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;

Having regard to Council Regulation No I36/66/EEX/ of 22 September 1966 on the esta­
blishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats , as last amended
by Regulation (EEC) No 1707/73^ » and in particular Artile 36 thereof;
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1900/74^^of 15 July 1974 laying down
special measures for soya beans , and in particular Article 2 (3 ) thereof ;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;
Whereas pursuant to Article 2 ( 3 ) of Regulation ( EEJC ) No 1900/74 i criteria for deter­
mining the average world market price , together with general rules for granting the
subsidy and for the control of beans harvested within the Community , should be laid
down;
Whereas the said average world market price must be determined on the basis of the most
favourable purcha'sing terms available on that market ;
Whereas the figures to be taken into consideration should be those recorded over the
marketing period for Community beans in respect of offers on the world marke¥^prices
quoted on the major international exchanges ; whereas , however , offers not considered
representative of the true trend of the market should be ignored ;
Whereas under Article 2 ( l ) of Regulation ( EEC) No I9OO/74 "the average price must be
recorded for a Community frontier crossing point ; whereas in fixing this point account
should be taken of the extent to which it is representative for imports of soya beans
and the point selected should accordingly be the port of Rotterdam ; whereas offers
and quotations must be adjusted if they relate to a different frontier crossing point ;
                                                                                          C -JT.
Whereas such adjustment should also be made in the event of ar\y variation from the
presentation and quality specified for the purpose of fixing the guide price ;
Whereas the producer Member States should be required to set up the control arrange­
ments necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the subsidy system ;

 ---pagebreak--- Whereas under Article 2 ( 2 ) of the aforementioned Regulation the subsidy is to be
granted for production obtained by applying an indicative yield to the surface areas
sown and harvested ; whereas , in order to ensure the proper application of the subsidy
system , the indicative yield should be dbtermined by reference to yields recorded
in the principal production areas ;
Whereas the period ofialidity of the foregoing rules should be limited to that necessary
to enable their effectiveness to be assessed ;
