                                 Proposed
                     REGULATION (EEC ) OF THE COUNCIL

 ---pagebreak---                                 EXPLAITATORY KEMCRA3ÎDUM
During its last meeting the Council decided to adopt a special system for
encouraging the production of soya by giving supporte
                                                 supporycorresponding to that
set out in Commission proposal (Doc . COM ( 74) 30 final , proposal No . XIII
amended "by Doc . COM ( 74) 19^ final ). Taking into consideration the Council' s
decision, the Commission proposes a simplified system of support for the
Co::imtinity production of soyabeans within this draft regulation proposal .
This proposal will replace the Commission proposal set out in the documents
quoted above .
Financial Incidence
Prom the point of view cf financial incidence , this proposal is analogous
with the one set out in the proposal for agricultural prices . For this reason
the proposal involves no additional financial incidence .
The possibility is to be considered, therefore, of granting a subsidy for
soyabeans ficed at a similar level to that for rapeseed and sunflowerseed .
On the basis of current prices tho subsidy would bo 0 . But in the event of
a fall in the woild price the subsidy could be around 30 "to 40 u.a. per ton .
For the 1974/1375 marketing year this would result in an expenditure of be­
tween 240^000 u.a. and 3?0; 000 u.a.
    ( 4,000 hectares of 2 tonnes « 8,000 tonnes multiplied by 30 - 40 u.a.)
A^ the proposed regulation is to apply from 1 November 1974 » it is to be ex­
pected that part of the expenditure will be financed during the 1975 finan­
cial year.
Ey 1978 , the surface area is expected to have increased to pOjOOO hectares .
Expenditure        have increased to 3 - 4 million u.a .
The expenditure is considered, as intervention . For its financing a Council
regulation will be proposed in a few weeks amending the Annex to regulation
2824/72 .
The expenditure is to be charged under Article 633 (oils and fats interven­
tion) of the Budget of the European Communities .
