Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social 
Committee, 
Whereas, when the basic price for slaughtered pigs is fixed, 
account should be taken of the objectives of the common

Community desires to make to the harmonious develop­
ment of world trade; whereas the objectives of the common 
agricultural policy are in particular to ensure a fair 
standard of living for the agricultural community, to ensure 
that supplies are available and that they reach consumers at 
reasonable prices; 
Whereas the basic price must be fixed in accordance with 
the criteria laid down in Article 4(1) of Regulation (EEC) 
No 2759/75 for a standard quality defined by reference to 
Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 (3), as amended by 
Regulation (EEC) No 3530/86 (4); 
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 has been amended 
by Regulation (EEC) No... to make the basic price 
applicable in future from 1 July of each year; whereas

Article 1 
For the period 1 July 1989 to 30 June 1990 the basic price 
for slaughtered pigs of the standard quality shall be

Having regard to the opinion of the Court of Justice, 
Whereas it has become clear that the measures laid down 
in Regulation No 2274/87 (') are unlikely to have the 
desired effect in the case of the European Parliament

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 75 
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 Economic and 
Social Committee, 
Whereas Article 8 of Directive 84/647/EEC on the use 
of vehicles hired without drivers for the carriage of 
goods by road (') requires the Council to re-examine 
Article 3 (2) and Article 4 (2) of the abovementioned 
Directive; 
Whereas the two abovementioned Articles offer the 
Member States the possibility of excluding own-account 
carriage from the scope of the Directive and of laying 
down a minimum hire period; 
Whereas these restrictive clauses have resulted in unequal 
application of the Directive in the Community; whereas 
abolition of these clauses would allow better financial 
management and cut the costs of hauliers operating on 
their own account or for hire or reward; Whereas, therefore, the abovementioned restrictive 
clauses should be abolished and the abovementioned 
Directive must be amended accordingly, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE: 
Article 1 
Directive 84/647/EEC is amended as follows: 
1. Article 3 (2) is deleted; 
2. Article 4 (2) is deleted. 
Article 2 
1. The Member States shall take the measures 
necessary to comply with this Directive not later than 30
