COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)No 1766/92
of 30 June 1992
on the common organization of the market in cereals
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community and in particular Articles 42 and 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 the prices and guarantees represented by the machinery intro-
duced by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 onthe common organization of the market in cereals (
4)encourage the
growth of cereals production at a rate which is no longer in line with theabsorption capacity of the market; whereas, in order to avoid a succes-sion of increasingly serious crises, the current policy should be radicallyreformed; whereas that implies that the support provided by the marketorganization should be reorientated in such a way that it no longerdepends solely on guaranteed prices;
Whereas the new orientation of the common agricultural policy must
lead to better market equilibrium and to a better competitive position forCommunity agriculture; whereas that objective can be achieved bylowering the target price to a level representing an anticipated rate on astabilized world market; whereas, so as not to encourage producers toopt for one particular crop, the target price should be the same for themajor cereales;
Whereas the loss of income resulting from the drop in prices is offset by
direct aid per hectare introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (
5);
Whereas the structure of guaranteed prices must permit disposal of
surpluses within the Community; whereas an intervention price shouldtherefore be fixed at a lower level and a threshold price at a higher levelthan the target price;
Whereas the new structure of guaranteed prices leads to the elimination
of the current provisions on derived prices;
Whereas the aid scheme provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92
replaces those for durum wheat and certain minor cereales; whereasthose aids should therefore be discontinued;
Whereas the intervention agencies must be able, in special circum-
stances, to take intervention measures suited to those circumstances;whereas, however, so that the required uniformity of interventionsystems may be maintained, those special circumstances should beassessed and the appropriate measures determined at Community level;
Whereas the intervention prices and threshold prices should, in the
course of the marketing year, be subject to a certain number of monthlyincreases in order to take account, to some extent, of storage costs andinterest charges for storing cereals in the Community and of the need toensure that the disposal stocks conforms to market requirements;
Whereas potatoes intended for the production of starch are in direct
competition with cereals intended for the production of starch; whereas,in view of the reform measures envisaged for cereals and to ensureequal treatment between the lines of production in question, similar

measures should be adopted with regard to potatoes intended for theproduction of starch;
Whereas the creatin of a single Community market for cereals involves,
apart from a system of guaranteed prices, the introduction of a singletrading system at the external frontiers of the Community; whereas atrading system including levies and export refunds, combined withintervention measures, also serves to stabilize the Community market,in particular by preventing price fluctuations on the world market fromaffecting prices ruling within the Community; whereas, therefore, provi-sion should be made for charging a levy on imports from third countriesand for the payment of a refund on exports to those countries, bothbeing designed to cover the difference between prices ruling outside andwithin the Community; whereas, moreover, in respect of productsprocessed from the cereals to which this Regulation applies, accountshould be taken of the need to ensure a measure of protection for theCommunity processing industry;
Whereas, in addition to the system described above, and to the extent
necessary for its proper working, provision should be made for regula-tion or, when the situation on the market so requires, prohibiting totallyor partially the use of ‘inward processing arrangements';
Whereas the competent authorities must be in a position to monitor
trade movements in order to assess market trends and to apply themeasures laid down in this Regulation as necessary; whereas, to thatend, provision should be made for the issue of import and exportlicences accompanied by the provision of security guaranteeing that thetransactions for which such licences are requested are effected;
Whereas the levy system makes it possible to dispense with all other
protective measures at the external frontiers of the Community;whereas, however, the common price and levy machinery may, inexceptional circumstances, prove defective whereas, in such cases, so asnot to leave the Community market without defence against distur-bances, the Community should be enabled to take all necessary meas-ures without delay;
Whereas, in a situation of high prices on the world market, provision
should be made for appropriate measures to be taken in order tosafeguard Community supplies and to stabilize prices on Communitymarkets;
Whereas the establishment of a single market based on a common price
system would be jeopardized by the granting of certain aids; whereas,therefore, the provisions of the Treaty which allow the assessment ofaids granted by Member States and the prohibition of those which areincompatible with the common market should be made to apply tocereals;
Whereas the common organization of the market in cereals must include
the products of primary processing which contain cereals or certainproducts which do not contain cereals but which are directly inter-changeable in their use with cereals or with products obtained fromcereals;
Whereas, in order to facilitate implementation of the proposed meas-
ures, a procedure should be laid down for establishing close cooperationbetween Member States and the Commission within a ManagementCommittee;
Whereas the common organization of the market in cereals must take
appropriate account, at the same time, of the objectives set out inArticles 39 and 110 of the Treaty;
Whereas the expenditure incurred by the Member States as a result of
the obligations arising out of the application of this Regulation falls onthe Community in accordance with the provisions of Articles 2 and 3 of

CN code DescriptionCouncil Regulation (EEC) no 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financingof the common agricultural policy (
1);
Whereas the cut in common prices from the time of the entry into forceof this Regulation is liable to disrupt the internal market; whereasprovision should therefore be made for the possibility for the Commis-sion to take any appropriate measures to avoid such disruptions;Whereas, since their consolidation by Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75,several provisions concerning the organization of the market in cerealshave been amended a number of times; whereas, by reason of theirnumber, their complexity and their dispersal among various OfficialJournals, these texts are difficult to use and thus lack the clarity whichshould be an essential feature of all legislation; whereas they should,therefore, be updated,
