COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2436/86
of 29 July 1986
amending Regulation No 282/67/EEC on detailed rules for intervention for oil seeds
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1454/86 (2), and in particular Article 24a (3) thereof,
Whereas Article 24a of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that the intervention price for 'double zero' colza and rape seed is to be increased by a supplement; whereas the glucosinolate content of the seed should be the criterion on which the definition of 'double zero' should be based;
Whereas, in view of the present state of research into low-glucosinolate autumn-sown colza and rape, the description 'double zero' should, for a transitional period, be accorded to colza and rape seed with a higher level of glucosinolates than would ideally be desirable;
Whereas the Community method for determining glucosinolate content referred to in Annex VIII to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1470/68 of 23 September 1968 on the drawing and reduction of samples and methods of analysis for oilseeds (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2435/86 (4), has yet to be perfected; whereas, during a transitional period, the determination of glucosinolate levels by means of methods offering guarantees equivalent to those of the common method should be authorized;
Whereas the conditions under which this supplement to the intervention price may be granted should be specified; whereas, for this purpose, the provisions of Commission Regulation No 282/67/EEC (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1808/85 (6) should be extended;
Whereas Article 7 of Regulation No 282/67/EEC provides that increases or reductions are to be made in the intervention price paid for seed which is not of standard quality; whereas, in view of price developments during the 1985/86 marketing year, and in view of the amendment to the standard quality of sunflower seeds adopted in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1457/86 of 13 May 1986 fixing the target price and intervention prices for colza, rape and sunflower seed for the 1986/87 marketing year (7), the increases and reductions set out in Annex I to Regulation No 282/67/EEC should be altered; whereas particular increases and reductions should be laid dwn for sunflower seed offered for intervention in Spain, in view of price levels in that Member State;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
