COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1101/84 of 31 March 1984 amending Regulation No 136/66/EEC with regard to the production of sunflower seed
THE COUNCIL OF 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 (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas, over the last few years, production of sun-flower seed in the Community has increased at an exceptionally high rate and this has led to a rapid increase in expenditure on this product;
Whereas a more moderate and steadier development of production is called for ; whereas, for this purpose, a guarantee threshold arrangement for sunflower seeds should be introduced whereby the prices guaranteed to producers will be reduced when actual production exceeds the threshold ; whereas Article 24a 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 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 0000/84 (5), should therefore be supplemented accordingly,
