Proposal for a Council Regulation amending Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 on the 
common organization of the market in cereals and Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 on the 
Common Customs Tariff 
(84/C 62/04) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the Euro­
pean Economic Community, and in particular 
Article 43 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commis­
sion, tion should be put right by providing that in such 
countries, during the month of July, special inter­
vention measures may be taken to support the 
development of the market in relation to the refer­
ence price for the following marketing year; 
Whereas Regulations (EEC) No 950/68 and (EEC) 
No 2727/75 should therefore be amended, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par­
liament, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee, 
Whereas the provisions of Council Regulation 
(EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the com­
mon organization of the market in cereals ('), as last 
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1451/82 (2), 
require the same levy to be fixed for triticale as for 
buckwheat, millet, canary seed and other cereals to 
be used solely as feedingstuffs; whereas, in view of 
the nature and the use of the cereal in question 
(which is a hybrid of wheat and rye intended for 
both human and animal consumption) and in view 
of the increasing importance of triticale production 
at world and Community levels and its competitive 
position in relation to the other Community cereals 
which it may replace, provision should be made for 
better protection against imports by applying to triti­
cale the same levy as for rye; whereas, in order that 
the said levy may apply, the Annex headed 'Com­
mon Customs Tariff to Regulation (EEC) No 950/ 
68 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 
3383/83 (4), should be amended to include a specific 
heading for the cereal in question; 
Whereas Article 8 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 
2727/75 provides that special intervention measures 
may be adopted with a view to supporting the 
development of the market in common wheat in 
relation to the reference price for the current market­
ing year; whereas this provision, which is usually 
applied at the beginning of the marketing year, may 
place at a disadvantage producers in certain coun­
tries where the harvest is early; whereas this situa-Article 1 
Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 is hereby amended 
as follows: 
I. Article 5 (2) is replaced by the following: 
'2. For a standard quality of each of the prod­
ucts listed in Article 1 (a) but not mentioned in 
paragraph 1 above, except the products falling 
within subheading 10.07 D I of the Common 
Customs Tariff, a threshold price shall be fixed 
for the Community in such a way that the price 
for the cereals mentioned in paragraph 1 which 
are in competition with those products reaches 
the target price on the Duisburg market.' 
II. The following is added to the first subparagraph 
of Article 8 (2): 
'However, in Greece and Italy such measures 
may be applied during the month of July, with­
out prejudice to the representative rate appli­
cable for agricultural purposes during that 
month, in order to support the development of 
the market in relation to the reference price 
fixed for the following marketing year.' 
III. The following 
Article 13(1): subparagraph is added to 
'However, the levy applicable to rye shall be 
charged on imports of the product falling within 
subheading 10.07 D I of the Common Customs 
Tariff.'

Proposal for a Council Regulation amending Regulation (EEC) No 2731/75 fixing 
standard qualities for common wheat, rye, barley, maize and durum wheat 
(84/C 62/05) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the Euro­
pean Economic Community, and particular 
Article 43 thereof, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 
2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organ­
ization of the market in cereals ('), as last amended 
by Regulation (EEC) No 1451/82 (2), and in parti­
cular Article 3 (6) thereof, 
(i) OJ No L 281,1. 11. 1975, p. 1. 
O OJ No L 164, 14. 6. 1982, p. 1. Having regard to the proposal from the 
Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European 
Parliament, 
Whereas trends in the production and consumption 
of cereals require that conditions of intervention be 
reinforced in the long term; whereas this aim cannot 
be achieved without introducing stricter require­
ments for the standard qualities and hence for the 
minimum quality stipulated for intervention; wher­
eas for this purpose the moisture content should be 
reduced, the same moisture content should be laid 
down for maize, and the criterion of fibre content 
should be introduced for barley; whereas at the 
same time the moisture content for the standard 
quality of durum wheat should also be laid down;
