REGULATION No 145 /67/EEC OF THE COUNCIL of 21 June 1967 laying down rules for calculating the levy and the sluice-gate price for eggs

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC of the above-mentioned feed requirement of layers COMMUNITY, and the specific production conditions of undertakings supplying eggs for hatching; Having regard to the Treaty establishing the Euro­ pean Economic Community ; Whereas the composition of a mixture of cereals making up these quantities should be determined;

Having regard to Council Regulation No 122/67/ Whereas this mixture includes cereals and by-prod­ EEC1 of 13 June 1967 on the common organisation ucts which it is advisable to assimilate to one of the of the market in eggs, and in particular Article 4 (3 ) three cereals mainly used as feed for layers, namely and Article 7 (5 ) thereof ; maize, barley and oats, and whereas in particular fod­ der wheat should be assimilated to barley ; Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ; Whereas therefore a cereal mixture made up as fol­ lows should be considered as representative : Whereas one of the components of the levy on eggs in shell is equal to the difference' between prices Maize 58% within the Community and on the world market for Barley 29% the quantity of feed grain required for the production in the Community of one kilogramme of eggs in shell ; Oats 13%

Whereas that quantity should be determined on the Whereas in view of the composition of these quanti­ basis of a processing coefficient of 1 : 3-00, which re­ ties of feed grain it would appear necessary that their presents the ratio of one kilogramme of eggs in shell price within the Community and on the world mar­ to the weight of feed grain required for its pro­ ket should be equal to the average, weighted accord­ duction ; whereas when this ratio is being determined ing to the composition mentioned, of the prices account should be taken of the feed requirements of within the Community and on the world market for layers to ensure their growth, upkeep and output in each of the cereals in question ; terms of the annual laying average; whereas, however, account should also be taken of the sale of cast hens ; Whereas in order to calculate the price for each type of feed grain it is necessary to take as a basis :

Whereas the levy on eggs for hatching should be cal­ — the average of the threshold prices, plus the culated in the same way as the levy on eggs in shell ; monthly increase for the period mentioned in the whereas, however, the quantity of feed grain to be second subparagraph of Article 4 ( 1 ) ( a) of Regu­ used should be that required for the production in lation No 122/67/EEC ; the Community of one egg for hatching; — the average of the c.i.f. prices determined for the period mentioned in the third subparagraph of Whereas that quantity should be determined on the Article 4 ( 1 ) ( a ) of Regulation No 122/67/EEC ; basis of a processing coefficient of 1 : 0-230, expressing the ratio of one egg for hatching to the quantity of Whereas in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation feed grain required for its production ; whereas when No 122/67/EEC, the sluice-gate price for eggs in shell this ratio is being determined account should be taken consists of two components :

a standard amount representing other feeding has no appreciable effect on feeding costs in respect costs and overhead costs of production and mar­ of eggs in shell ; whereas the minimum variation keting ; should be fixed at 3% ;

Whereas the sluice-gate price for eggs for hatching should be calculated in the same way as the sluice­ HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION : gate price for eggs in shell; whereas, however, the price for the quantity of feed grain on the world mar­ Article 1 ket should be the price for the quantity required for the production in third countries of one egg for hatching ; The quantities and composition of feed grain men­ tioned in Article 4 ( 1 ) ( a) and (2) of Regulation No 122/67/EEC are fixed as shown in columns 3 and 4 Whereas the quantities of feed grain should be deter­ mined on the basis of processing coefficients of of Annex I to this Regulation. 1 : 3-62 for eggs in shell and 1 : 0-260 for eggs for hatching; whereas this coefficient should be deter­ Article 2 mined according to the same criteria as those used to determine the processing coefficients used in calculat­ ing the levy; whereas, however, as regards eggs in 1 .
