EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Council Regulations n°121/67/EECof12June 1967 onthecommon organization
ofthemarket inpigmeat tn°122/67/EECof13June 1967 onthecommon
organization ofthemarket ineggs andn°123/67/EECof13June 1967 ofthe connr
organization ofthemarket inpoultrymeat provide forasystem ofimport
andexport levies toheapplied attheexternal frontiers oftheCommunity
whioh serve tostabilize theCommunity market ,inparticular "bypreventing
price fluctuations ontheworld market from affecting prices ruling within
theCommunity .
Infixing sluice-gate prioes andlevies inrespect ofimports from non-member
countries account istaken oftheincidence onfeeding oosts ofthedifference
"between prices forfeed grain within theCommunity andonthewolrd market .
With regard toworld market prioes forcereals ,provision ismade inthe
three above-mentioned basic regulations totake account ofprices recorded
intheoourse ofthesixmonths preceding thequarter during which thelevies
tobeapplied inthefollowing quarter arefixed andtheconsequent implemen­
ting regulation isdrafted .This means that inpractice thecereal prices used
asabasis forcalculating levies relate toaperiod that hasended three
months before entry into force oftheamounts calculated .This system was
satisfactory solong astheworld market incereals remained stable .Butnow
that there arefrequent andsubstantiel price fluctuations thesluice-gate
prioes andlevies fixed inaccordance with existing regulations nolonger
reflect thereal level ofprioes forthese products inthese three seotors .
Inorder toup-date thebasis forthecalculation ofsluce-gate prices and
levies itwould beadvisable toadopt areference period that better reflects
theeconomic situation inthequarter during which these amounts aretobe
applied .Itistherefore proposed toadopt ashorter reference period ,
namely five months instead ofsixandtobring theperiod closer bytwomonths
tothequarter inwhioh thesluioe-«ate prides andlevies aretobeapplied .
