Inpursuance ofArticle 5(5)ofRegulation No120/67/feECthe "threshold ,
prices forflours ofwheat ,meslin andryeandwheat groats andmeals
must "befixed inaccordance with therules and inrespect ofthe stan­
dard qualities laid down inArticle 6,7»8and9ofCouncil Regulation
(EEC)No1397/69*TheRegulation asitnowstands lays down inter alia
amilling margin of13.75 units ofaccount permetric tonofbasic cereal
andlump sums of65.-–and60.–-units ofaccount permetric tonforthe
"by–products ,graded ornotgraded ofcommon wheat andryerespectively .
Themilling margin hasnotbeen changed since 1967 annolonger reflects
the increase incosts .
Themarket prices oftheby-products ,fixed byRegulation (EEC)No1397/69
forthecalculation ofthreshold prices forcommon wheat andryeflours
at65.--and60.–units ofaccount pertonrespectively andbased onan
average forthe1968/69marketing year ,have increased considerably since
that time .
Studies made with experts from theMember States indicate that these two
elements ofthecalculation must beadjusted tomore realistic levels .
Itistherefore proposed tofixthemilling margin at25.–units of
account permetric tonandthevalue ofby-products at85®–and80.–
units ofaccount permetric tonfortheby-products ofcommon wheat
