No C 85/84 Official Journal of the European Communities 14. 4. 86 
No , lays down that market support measures may be 
taken in order to take account of any restrictions imposed on 
the free circulation of pigmeat in consequence of measures 
taken in the field of veterinary or health policy; whereas such 
measures are at present strictly limited to the markets 
affected by such restrictions; whereas restrictions on imports 
into third countries of products from a Member State part of 
whose territory is affected by an epidemic may have serious 
consequences for all the exports of the Member State 
concerned; whereas the possibilitiy of adopting market 
support measures in such cases should therefore be extended 
to the entire territory of a Member State;

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European

No 2771/75 (2) and (EEC) No 2777/75 (3), all three as last 
amended by Regulation (EEC) No , involve an import 
levy and sluice-gate price system, one of whose reference

types of feed grain; whereas these prices are determined once 
a year for a period of twelve months beginning on 1 August, 
on the basis of the threshold prices for such grain and the 
monthly increases therein;

In order to take account of any restrictions on 
intra-Community trade or trade with third countries 
which might result from the application of measures 
taken to combat the spread of animal diseases, 
exceptional measures may be taken to support the market 
of the region or of the Member State affected by such 
restrictions, in accordance with the procedure laid down 
in Article 24. Such measures may be taken only insofar as 
and for such period as is strictly necessary for the support 
of that market.'

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

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly 
applicable in all Member States. 
Whereas the marketing year for cereals will, in the future, be 
fixed for a period of 12 months beginning on 1 July of each 
year; whereas, therefore, the calculation of the import levies 
and the sluice-gate prices for pigmeat, eggs and poultrymeat 
should be based on the prices of feed grain over a similarly 
amended marketing year;

feed grain in the Community is to be equal to the average of 
the threshold prices plus the monthly price increase therein, 
operative for that cereal for a period of 12 months beginning 
on 1 August; whereas this stipulation should be transferred

(86/C 85/53) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 on 
the value of the unit of account and the conversion rates to be

policy 0), and in particular Artilce 2 (3) thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Monetary 
Committee, 
Whereas the representative rates currently applicable were 
fixed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1678/85 (2), as last 
amended by Regulation (EEC) No ; whereas new 
representative rates closer to present economic circumstances 
should be fixed for the French franc, the Italian lira, and the 
Greek drachma; whereas, moreover, for reasons of clarity, 
all the representative rates should be republished; 
Whereas these changes should, as a general rule, take effect at 
the beginning of the marketing year for the product 
(>) OJ No L 164, 24. 6. 1985, p. 1. 
(2) OJ No L 164, 24. 6. 1985, p. 11. concerned; whereas, however, it is necessary in certain cases 
to take into consideration the impact of these adjustments on 
prices and also the existing situation in the Member States 
concerned; 
Whereas, in order to avoid differing treatment of 
interdependent products, provision should be made for the 
new rates to apply in the cereals (apart from durum wheat), 
eggs and poultrymeat, ovalbumin and lactalbumin, and 
pigmeat sectors with effect from the same date,
