Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1431/82 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1485/85 (4), lays down that an aid is to be granted under certain circumstances for the products in question; whereas this aid depends, according to the use made of the products, on the average world market price for soya cake or the average world market price for peas and field beans; whereas these prices, as determined in accordance with Article 4 (1) and (2) of the said Regulation, should not be the arithmetic means of several prices which would hide the actual development of the market, but rather prices that represent average market trends; whereas the word 'average' in the expressions 'average world market price for soya cake' and 'average world market price for peas and field beans' could give rise to difficulties of interpretation which should be avoided,
