Thethreshold pricesforcerealsaretobefixedaccording totheprovisions
ofArticle5CouncilRegulation Ho120/67/feECbefore15Marcheachyear
forthefollowing marketing year.
Thethreshold pricesarecalculated forRotterdam bysubtracting fronthe
targetpriceapplicable atDuisburg thelowesttransport costfronRotterdam
toDuisburg ,thecostoftrans-shipment atRotterdan andatradingmargin,
sothatthesalepriceofimportedcereals ontheDuisburg marketwillbe
atthelevelofthetargetpriceaftertakingintoaccountqualitydifferences .
Asregardsthethreshold priceforfeedgrainsforwhichnotargetpriceis
fixed(buckwheat ,sorghum,milletandcanaryseed),thesearecalculated on
thebasisoftheproportion 97*98i°ascomparedwiththethresholdpricefor
barley=100fo.
Withtheaimofsimplifying thesystemandbecause,apartfromoats,nc.i;o
oftheabovementioned cerealsisproduced insignificant quantities inthe
Community ,thereshouldonlybeasinglethreshold priceforthesecereals.
Foroatsthesamelevelcouldbejustified bythefactthatthereisno
supportmeasureattheproduction level(intervention price)andthatthe
Community i3moreorlessselfsufficient forthiscereal.However,asthe
application oftheproportion 97*98$wouldleadtoanincreaseof14.13%
inthethreshold priceforoatsas'comparedwiththatofthepreviousmarketing
year,itwouldbeadvisable tospreadthisincrease overtwomarketing years.
Thethreshold priceforoatsistherefore calculated onthebasisofthe
proportion 95*56$ascomparedwiththethresholdpriceforbarley.
