Official Journal L 181 , 01/07/1992 P. 0021 - 0039 Finnish special edition: Chapter 3 Volume 43 P. 0029  Swedish special edition: Chapter 3 Volume 43 P. 0029  





COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1766/92  of 30 June 1992 on the common  organization of the market in cerealsTHE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community and in particular Articles  42 and 43 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission  (1), Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament  (2), Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee  (3), Whereas the prices and guarantees represented by the machinery introduced by Council Regulation  (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals  (4)  encourage the growth of cereals production at a rate which is no longer in line with the absorption  capacity of the market; whereas, in order to avoid a succession of increasingly serious crises, the  current policy should be radically reformed; whereas that implies that the support provided by the  market organization should be reorientated in such a way that it no longer depends solely on  guaranteed prices; Whereas the new orientation of the common agricultural policy must lead to better market  equilibrium and to a better competitive position for Community agriculture; whereas that objective  can be achieved by lowering the target price to a level representing an anticipated rate on a  stabilized world market; whereas, so as not to encourage producers to opt for one particular crop,  the target price should be the same for the major cereales; Whereas the loss of income resulting from the drop in prices is offset by direct aid per hectare  introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92  (5); Whereas the structure of guaranteed prices must permit disposal of surpluses within the Community;  whereas an intervention price should therefore be fixed at a lower level and a threshold price at a  higher level than the target price; Whereas the new structure of guaranteed prices leads to the elimination of the current provisions  on derived prices; Whereas the aid scheme provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 replaces those for durum wheat  and certain minor cereales; whereas those aids should therefore be discontinued; Whereas the intervention agencies must be able, in special circumstances, to take intervention  measures suited to those circumstances; whereas, however, so that the required uniformity of  intervention systems may be maintained, those special circumstances should be assessed and the  appropriate measures determined at Community level; Whereas the intervention prices and threshold prices should, in the course of the marketing year,  be subject to a certain number of monthly increases in order to take account, to some extent, of  storage costs and interest charges for storing cereals in the Community and of the need to ensure  that the disposal stocks conforms to market requirements; Whereas potatoes intended for the production of starch are in direct competition with cereals  intended for the production of starch; whereas, in view of the reform measures envisaged for  cereals and to ensure equal treatment between the lines of production in question, similar measures  should be adopted with regard to potatoes intended for the production of starch; Whereas the creatin of a single Community market for cereals involves, apart from a system of  guaranteed prices, the introduction of a single trading system at the external frontiers of the  Community; whereas a trading system including levies and export refunds, combined with intervention  measures, also serves to stabilize the Community market, in particular by preventing price  fluctuations on the world market from affecting prices ruling within the Community; whereas,  therefore, provision should be made for charging a levy on imports from third countries and for the  payment of a refund on exports to those countries, both being designed to cover   the difference  between prices ruling outside and within the Community; whereas, moreover, in respect of products  processed from the cereals to which this Regulation applies, account should be taken of the need to  ensure a measure of protection for the Community processing industry; Whereas, in addition to the system described above, and to the extent necessary for its proper  working, provision should be made for regulation or, when the situation on the market so requires,  prohibiting totally or partially the use of 'inward processing arrangements`; Whereas the competent authorities must be in a position to monitor trade movements in order to  assess market trends and to apply the measures laid down in this Regulation as necessary; whereas,  to that end, provision should be made for the issue of import and export licences accompanied by  the provision of security guaranteeing that the transactions for which such licences are requested  are effected; Whereas the levy system makes it possible to dispense with all other protective measures at the  external frontiers of the Community; whereas, however, the common price and levy machinery may, in  exceptional circumstances, prove defective whereas, in such cases, so as not to leave the Community  market without defence against disturbances, the Community should be enabled to take all necessary  measures without delay; Whereas, in a situation of high prices on the world market, provision should be made for  appropriate measures to be taken in order to safeguard Community supplies and to stabilize prices  on Community markets; Whereas the establishment of a single market based on a common price system would be jeopardized by  the granting of certain aids; whereas, therefore, the provisions of the Treaty which allow the  assessment of aids granted by Member States and the prohibition of those which are incompatible  with the common market should be made to apply to cereals; Whereas the common organization of the market in cereals must include the products of primary  processing which contain cereals or certain products which do not contain cereals but which are  directly interchangeable in their use with cereals or with products obtained from cereals; Whereas, in order to facilitate implementation of the proposed measures, a procedure should be laid  down for establishing close cooperation between Member States and the Commission within a  Management Committee; Whereas the common organization of the market in cereals must take appropriate account, at the same  time, of the objectives set out in Articles 39 and 110 of the Treaty; Whereas the expenditure incurred by the Member States as a result of the obligations arising out of  the application of this Regulation falls on the Community in accordance with the provisions of  Articles 2 and 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) no 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the  common agricultural policy  (1); Whereas the cut in common prices from the time of the entry into force of this Regulation is liable  to disrupt the internal market; whereas provision should therefore be made for the possibility for  the Commission to take any appropriate measures to avoid such disruptions; Whereas, since their consolidation by Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75, several provisions concerning  the organization of the market in cereals have been amended a number of times; whereas, by reason  of their number, their complexity and their dispersal among various Official Journals, these texts  are difficult to use and thus lack the clarity which should be an essential feature of all  legislation; whereas they should, therefore, be updated, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 11.    The common organiszation of the  market in cereals shall cover the following products: >TABLE>2.    This Regulation shall apply notwithstanding the measures provided for by  Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 on assistance for arable farmers.

The intervention price shall refer to the wholesale stage for goods delivered to the warehouse,  before unloading. They shall be valid for all Community intervention centres designated for each  cereal. 5.    The prices fixed in this Regulation may be changed in the light of developments in production  and the markets in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 43 (2) of the Treaty.  Article 41.    The intervention agencies designated by the Member States shall buy in common  wheat, durum wheat, rye, barley, maize and sorghum which are offered to them and have been  harvested in the Community, provided that the offers comply with conditions laid down, in  particular in respect of quality and quantity. 2.

Article 5Detailed rules for the application of  Articles 3 and 4 shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23, in  particular as regards: -   the standard qualities to which threshold prices refer in the case of cereals for which  intervention is not available and of the cereal products, referred to in Article 1 (1) (c), - the determination of the intervention centres, - the minimum conditions, in particular with respect to quality and quantity required of each  cereal for it to be eligible for intervention, - the scales of price increase and reduction applicable to intervention, - the procedures and conditions for taking over by the intervention agencies, - the procedures and conditions for disposal by the intervention agencies, - the setting of the threshold prices for the products, referred to in Article 1 (1) (c), except  for malt. Article 61.    Where the market situation so dictates, special intervention measures  may be decided on. Such intervention measures may in particular be taken if, in one or more regions of the Community  market prices fall, or threaten to fall, in relation to the intervention price. 2.    The nature and application of the special intervention measures and the conditions and  procedures for the sale or for any other means of disposal of the products subject to those  measures shall be determined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23. Article  71.    A production refund may be granted for starch obtained from maize, wheat or potatoes and  for certain derivatives used in the manufacture of certain goods. A list of the goods referred to in the first subparagraph shall be drawn up in accordance with the  procedure laid down in paragraph 3. 2.    The refund referred to in paragraph 1 shall be fixed periodically. 3.    The Commission shall adopt detailed rules for the application of this Article and shall fix  the amount of the said refund in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23. Article  81.    A minimum price for potatoes intended for the manufacture of potato starch shall be set  at: -   ECU 208 for the 1993/94 marketing year, - ECU 192 for the 1994/95 marketing year, and- ECU 176 from the 1995/96 marketing year onwards. These prices apply to the quantity of potatoes, delivered to the factory, which are needed for  making one tonne of starch. 2.    A system of compensatory payments is established for producers of potatoes intended for the  manufacture of potato starch. The amount of the payment applies to the quantity of potatoes needed  for making one tonne of starch. It shall be set at: -   ECU 40 for the 1993/94 marketing year, - ECU 56 for the 1994/95 marketing year, and- ECU 72 from the 1995/96 marketing year onwards. 3.    The minimum price and the compensatory payment shall be adjusted according to the starch  content of the potatoes. 4.

The Commission shall adopt the detailed rules for applying this Article following the  procedure laid down in Article 23. TITLE IIArticle 91.    Imports into the Community, or exports therefrom, of any of the products  listed in Article 1 shall be subject to the submission of an import or export licence which may be  issued by Member States to any applicant, irrespective of the place of his establishment in the  Community. Where the levy or refund is fixed in advance, the advance fixing shall be noted on the  licence which serves as supporting document for such advance fixing. The import or export licence shall be valid throughout the Community. The issue of such a licence  shall be conditional on the lodging of a security guaranteeing that importation or exportation will  be effected during the period of validity of the licence; the security shall be forfeited in whole  or in part if the transaction is not effected, or is only partially effected, within that period. 2.    The period of validity of licences and other detailed rules for the application of this  Article shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23.  Article 101.     A levy equal for each product to the threshold price less the cif price shall be charged on  imports of the products listed in Article 1 (1), (a), (b) and (c), except malt. However, the levy applicable to rye shall be charged on imports of the products falling within CN  code 1008  90  10. 2.    The cif prices shall be calculated for Rotterdam on the basis of the most favourable  purchasing opportunities on the world market, determined for each product on the basis of the  quotations and prices of that market after adjustment for any differences in quality as compared  with the standard quality for which the threshold price is fixed. Differences in quality shall be expressed in coefficients of equivalence. 3.    Where free quotations on the world market are not a determining factor for the offer price  and where this price is lower than world market prices, a special cif price calculated on the basis  of the offer price shall be substituted for the cif price solely for the imports in question. 4.    Detailed rules for the application of this Article, and in particular the coefficients of  equivalence, the rules for determining cif prices and the margin within which variations in the  factors used for calculating the levy do not require any alteration of the levy, shall be adopted  in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23. 5.    The Commission shall fix the levies mentioned in this Article. Article 111.    A levy  shall be charged on imports of malt or products referred to in Article 1 (1) (d), with the  exception of those falling within CN codes 0714  20  00, 0714  90  90, 2303  10  19, 2303  10  90,  2303  30  00, 2308  10  00 and 2308  90  30, consisting of two components: A.   a variable component which may be fixed and revised on a first-rate basis: (a)   corresponding, in respect of products processed from basic products listed in Article 1 (1)  (a), to  the incidence on their prime cost of the levies on those basic products;  (b) increased, where appropriate, for processed products which contain both basic products listed  in Article 1 (1) (a) and other products, by the amount of the incidence on their prime cost of the  levies or customs duties charged on those other products;  (c) fixed, for products which do not contain any basic products listed in Article 1 (1) (a), with  reference to market conditions for those Article 1 products which are in competition with them; B. A fixed component designed to protect the processing industry. 2.    Where actual offers from third countries of products referred to in Article 1 (1) (d) do not  correspond to the price which results from the price of basic products used in their manufacture  plus processing costs, an amount fixed in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23 may  be added to the levy fixed in accordance with paragraph 1. 3.    The Commission shall fix the levies specified in paragraph 1. 4.    Detailed rules for the application of this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the  procedure laid down in Article 23. Article 121.    The levy to be charged shall be that  applicable on the day of importation. 2.    However, as regards imports of products listed in Article 1 (1) (a) and (b), the levy  applicable on the day on which application for a licence is lodged, adjusted on the basis of the  threshold price which will be in force during the month of importation, shall be applied to an  import to be effected during the period of validity of the licence, if the applicant so requests  when applying for the licence. In this case, a premium, fixed at the same time as the levy, shall  be added to the levy. 3.    A decision may be taken, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23, to apply  the provisions of paragraph 2, in whole or in part, to any of the products listed in Article 1 (1)  (c) and (d). If an advance fixing of the levy has been prescribed for malt, the levy shall be adjusted during  the first three months of the marketing year on the basis of the threshold price in force during  the last month of the preceding marketing year. 4.    The scale of premiums shall be fixed by the Commission. 5.    Where examination of the market situation shows that the application of the provisions  concerning the advance fixing of the levy has given rise, or may give rise, to difficulties, a  decision may be taken, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23 to suspend the  application of those provisions for the period strictly necessary. In cases of extreme urgency, the Commission may, after examination of the situation on the basis of  all the information available to it, decide to suspend advance fixing for a maximum of three  working days. Applications for licences accompanied by applications for advance fixing lodged during the period  of suspension shall be rejected. 6.    Detailed rules for the application of this Article, and in particular those for advance  fixing, shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23. Article 131.     To the extent necessary to enable the products listed in Article 1 to be exported in the state  referred to therein or in the form of goods listed in Annex B on the basis of quotations or prices  for those products on the world market, the difference between those quotations or prices and  prices in the Community may be covered by an export refund. 2.    The refund shall be the same for the whole Community. It may be varied according to use or  destination. The refund shall be granted on application. Refunds shall be fixed at regular intervals in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article  23. Where necessary the Commission may, at the request of a Member State or on its own initiative,  alter the refunds in the intervening period. 3.    The amount of the refund applicable to exports of products listed in Article 1 and of goods  listed in Annex B shall be that applicable on the day of exportation. 4.    However, in the case of products listed in Article 1 (1) (a) and (b), the refund applicable  on the day on which application for the licence is lodged, adjusted for the threshold price which  will be in force during the month of exportation, shall be applied to an export to be effected  during the period of validity of the licence if the applicant so requests when applying for the  licence. A corrective amount may be fixed. It shall be applied to refunds fixed in advance. The corrective  amount shall be fixed at the same time as refund according to the same procedure; however, where  necessary the Commission may, at the request of a Member State or on its own initiative, alter the  corrective amounts in the intervening period. The provisions of the first and second subparagraphs may be applied, in whole or in part, to any of  the products listed in Article 1 (1) (c) and (d) and to any products listed in Article 1 which are  exported in the form of goods specified in Annex B. If advance fixing of the refund has been laid down for malt, the refund on exports, during the  first three months of the marketing year, of malt in stock at the end of the preceding marketing  year or made from barley in stock at the time shall be adjusted on the basis of the threshold price  in force in the last month of the preceding marketing year. 5.    Insofar as is necessary to take account of the particular features of the production of  certain spirituous beverages obtained from cereals, the criteria for granting the export refunds  referred to in paragraph 1 and the supervision procedures may be adapted to this particular  situation. The Commission, acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23 shall  lay down the detailed rules needed for this adaptation. 6.    Detailed rules for the application of this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the  procedure laid down in Article 23. Annex B shall be amended in accordance with the same procedure. 7.    Where examination of the market situation shows that the application of the provisions  concerning the advance fixing of the export refund has given rise, or may give rise, to  difficulties, a decision may be taken, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23, to  suspend the application of those provisions for the period strictly necessary. In cases of extreme urgency, the Commission may, after examination of the situation on the basis of  all the information available to it, decide to suspend advance fixing for a maximum of three  working days. Applications for licences accompanied by applications for advance fixing lodged during the period  of suspension shall be rejected. Article 141.    To the extent necessary for the proper working  of the common organization of the market in cereals, the use of inward processing arrangements may  be prohibited in whole or in part: -   in respect of products listed in Article 1 which are intended for the manufacture of products  listed in Article 1  (1)  (c) and (d), - and, in special cases, in respect of products listed in Article 1 which are intended for the  manufacture of goods listed in Annex B. 2.    Measures adopted pursuant to this Article shall be decided on in accordance with the  procedure laid down in Article 23. Article 151.    The general rules for the interpretation of  the combined nomenclature and the special rules for its application shall apply to the tariff  classification of products covered by this Regulation. 2.    Save as otherwise provided in this Regulation or where derogation therefrom is decided by the  Commission, acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23, the following shall be  prohibited in trade with third countries. -   the levying of any customs duty or charge having equivalent effect, - the application of any quantitative restriction or measure having equivalent effect.Article  161.    When the quotations or prices on the world market for one or more of the products  referred to in Article 1 reach the level of Community prices, and when that situation is likely to  continue and to deteriorate, thereby disturbing or threatening to disturb the Community market,  appropriate measures may be taken. 2.    The detailed rules for the application of this Article shall be adopted in accordance with  the procedure laid down in Article 23. Article 171.    If, by reason of imports or exports, the  Community market in one or more of the products listed in Article 1 experiences, or is threatened  with, serious disturbances which may endanger the objectives set out in Article 39 of the Treaty,  appropriate measures may be applied in trade with third countries until such disturbance or threat  of disturbance has ceased. 2.    If the situation mentioned in paragraph 1 arises, the Commission shall, at the request of a  Member State or on its own initiative, decide upon the necessary measures; the measures shall be  communicated to the Member States and shall be immediately applicable. If the Commission receives a  request from a Member State, it shall take a decision thereon within three days following receipt  of the request. 3.    Measures decided upon by the Commission may be referred to the Council by any Member State  within three working days of the day on which they were communicated. The Council shall meet  without delay. It may, acting by a qualified majority, amend or repeal the measures in question. 4.
