Proposal for a Council Regulation fixing the monthly price increases for cereals, wheat and rye flour 
and wheat groats and meal for the 1986/87 marketing year 
COM(86) 20 final 
(Submitted by the Commission to the Council on 14 February 1986) 
(86/C 85/02) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common 
organization of the market in cereals (*), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No , and in 
particular Article 6 (2) thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas, when the number and amount of the monthly increases and the first month during which 
these are to apply are fixed, account should be taken of the storage costs and financing charges for 
storing cereals in the Community and of the need to ensure that the disposal of stocks of cereals 
conforms to market requirements; whereas experience has shown that the level of the monthly 
increases for cereals other than durum wheat can encourage operators to hold on to cereals; whereas, 
so that stocks can be disposed of more smoothly, these increases should be reduced somewhat for the 
other cereals; 
Whereas, as regards the threshold price for maize and sorghum, the monthly increases are determined 
in accordance with the last subparagraph of Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
For the 1986/87 marketing year, the monthly increases to be applied to the target price, threshold 
price and intervention price for the products listed in Article 1 (a), (b) and (c) of Regulation (EEC) 
No 2727/75 shall be as set out in this Regulation. 
Article 2 
The monthly increases to be applied to the target price, threshold price and intervention price for 
common wheat, rye, barley, maize, sorghum and durum wheat, operative for the first month of the 
marketing year, shall be as follows:
