COMMISSION OF THE  EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES 
COM(83)  314  final 
Brussels,  27  May  1983 
Proposal  for a 
COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EEC) 
fixing  a carry-over payment for common  wheat,  rye and maize remaining 
in stock at the end of the  1982/83  marketing year 
(submitted to the  Council  by the Commission) 
COM(83)  314  final 

EXPLANATORY  NOTE 
In the  Light  of the current situation on the Community market, an end 
of season carry-over is proposed equal to not more than the difference 
in national currency  between  the intervention price applicable in the first 
month of the marketing year increased by 11 monthly increaments and the 
intervention price applicable in the new marketing year for soft wheat, rye 
held  by millers and maize in surplus  areas. 
The measure  is identical to  that  fixed  by the  Council  last year, and 
corresponds also to the  Council  decision of 16 and 17 May 1983. 

Proposal for a 
COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EEC) 
fixing  a carry-over  payment for  common  wheat, rye and  maize  remaining  in 
stock  at the end of the 1982/83 marketing  year 
THE  COUNCIL  OF  THE BUROPEAN 
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 organi­
zation of the market in cereals ('), as list amended by 
Council  Regulation  (EEC)  No] 451  /8^ 2), and in  parti­
cular  Article  9 (1) and (5) thereof, 
Having  regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas one of the purposes of the carry-over 
payment provided for in  Article  9 (1) of Regulation 
(EEC)  No  2727/75  is to prevent a massive inflow to 
intervention of cereals, much of which could be 
directly  disposed of on the market before the new 
harvest, at the moment when the monthly interven­
tion price increases end ;  whereas  the market situation 
for common  wheat  throughout the Community and 
the situation for rye used for human consumption in 
certain  regions of the Community are such that a 
carry-over  payment should be granted for  these 
cereals ; 
Whereas there is a likelihood in certain regions of 
quantities of maize being offered for intervention 
although a deficit  exijts  in the Community as a 
whole ;  whereas  a carry-ovej payment should therefore 
also be given for this cereal ;  whereas,  since the marke­
ting of a crop normally extend^ beyond the end of the 
marketing  year, the granting o(» carry-over payment 
helps to prevent the large quantify normally in stock 
at the end of the marketing year g^ng to intervention 
during  its last  few months ; 
Whereas the amount of the carry-oyei payment should 
be fixed by taking the difference buween the single 
common intervention price applic;aktt on I August 
1982, increased by 11 mont^WS^Wreases and 
converted into the national cufrene^ljl \Af representa­
tive rate applicable on 31  Julyl  983/16,4  tne single 
common intervention price applicabl*^^ 1 August 
1983 converted into national currency^ whereas, 
where the calculation  gives  a negative  amount, the 
payment should be counted as nil; 
Whereas the carry-over payment cannot be given for 
cereals harvested in the Community during 1983 
their  cost  has not been increased by any  storage 
(') OJ No L 28I. 1. 11. 1975 p.j, 
(') Oj No Ll64,14.6.1982.p.1. element;  whereas, in view of the connection  between 
the intervention and the carry-over payment  systems, 
cany-over payments should be given only for cereals 
which  are of sound and fair merchantable quality, 
within  the meaning of the provisions adopted in 
implementation of  Article  7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) 
No 2727/75;  whereas, however, in respect of rye he|d 
by the milling industry, milling for human consump­
tion is accepted as proof of sufficient quality, 
HAS ADOPTED  THIS  REGULATION  : 
Article 1 
1. A carry-over payment shall be granted for 
common  wheat  and for rye used for human consump­
tion,  harvested in the Community and in stock there 
at the end of the  -j 9g2/g;jmarketing year. 
2. A carry-over payment shall  also  be granted for 
maize harvested in the Community and in stock in 
surplus production areas of the Community at the end 
of thel  982/83 rnarkeun 8 year-
3. The carry-over payment shall be equal to the 
difference  between  the single common intervention 
price  applicable on 1 August 1982 increased by 11 
monthly increases and converted into national 
currency  at the representative rate applicable on 31 
July 1983 and  the'single  common intervention price 
applicable on 1 August 1983 converted into national 
currency.  Where the calculation  gives  a negative 
amount the payment shall be counted as nil. 
Article 2 
The carry-over payments referred to in  Article  1 (1) 
and (2) shall not be made for cereals from the 1983 
harvest or for cereals which do not  meet  the quality 
conditions required for intervention during the 
1982/83marketing year. / 
In respect of rye held by the milling industry at the 
end of the marketing year, milling for human 
, consumption shall be accepted as proof of sufficient 
quality.

This  Regulation shall enter into force on the day 
following its publication in the  Official  Journal of the 
European Communities. 

This  Regulation shall be binding in its  entirety  and directly applicable in all Member
