No C 82/6 Official Journal of the European Communities 3. 4. 89 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No ... 
of... 
fixing the monthly price increases for cereals, wheat and rye flour and wheat groats and meal 
for the 1989/90 marketing year 
(89/C 82/05) 
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 ... (2), and in particular Article 6(2) thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas, when the 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; 
Whereas since because of the need to reform the cereals 
market the intervention period has been reduced the 
monthly increases in the intervention and buying-in prices 
should be restricted to the period during which intervention 
(*) OJ No L 281, 1. 11. 1975, p. 1. 
(2) See page 1 of this Official Journal. is open; whereas for the sake of consistency the number of 
monthly increases in the target and threshold prices should 
also be reduced; 
Whereas, as regards the threshold price for maize and 
sorghum, the monthly increases are determined in 
accordance with the last subparagraph of Article 5(1) of 
Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1
