THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European EconomicCommunity,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October
1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat(
1), aslas t
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1249/89(2), and in particular Article
4 (6) thereof,
Whereas the representative markets comprise, for each country, all the
markets listed in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2123/89(
3);
Whereas, pursuant to Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75,
the weighted average price for pig carcases on the representative
markets of the Community must be determined in order to assess
whether the market situation warrants intervention measures;
Whereas, in order to determine such an average price for pig carcases,
comparable Community prices must be available; whereas, to that end,a single quality of pig carcases corresponding to the standard qualityreferred to in Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 and aclearly defined marketing stage should be used; whereas, since pigcarcases are generally marketed at the slaughterhouse stage, that stage
should be the one adopted;
Whereasquotationsfor pig carcas esare to be determined henceforth
throughout the Community using the Community scale for grading pig
carcases as laid down by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84(
4), as
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3530/86(5), and the detailed rules
for application as laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC)No 2967/85(
6); whereasthe definition of the s tandard quality in accor-
dance with Article 2 (2) and (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 was
simplified by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1250/89 of 3 May 1989
fixing the basic price and the standard quality for slaughtered pigs forthe period 1 July 1989 to 30 June 1990(
7); whereas, in addition, the list
of representative markets for pigmeat in the Community, as laid downin Council Regulation (EEC) No 43/81(
8), aslas t amended by Regula-
tion (EEC) No 3553/88(9), wasreplaced by that in Regulation (EEC)
No 2123/89; whereas, for those reasons, the rules on the marketingstage to which the average price for pig carcases refers should beamended;
Whereasfor the s ake of clarity a new regulation combining all the
rules on the marketing stage to which the average price for pig carcasesrefers should be adopted; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC)No 2342/86(
10), asamended by Regulation (EEC) No 2847/87(11),
should accordingly be repealed;
Whereasthe meas uresprovided for in thisRegulation are in accor-
dance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,1989R3537 — EN — 01.07.1995 — 001.001 — 2
