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 are fixed, account should be taken of the storage 
costs and financing charges for storing cereals in the 
Community, whereas experience has shown that the level 
of the monthly increases for cereals can encourage 
operators to hold on to cereals; whereas, so that stocks can 
be disposed of more smoothly, these increases should be 
reduced; 
(!) OJ No L 281, 1. 11. 1975 p. 1. 2. Exemption under the arrangements provided for in 
Article 4a(2) shall be limited for each producer to the
