The threshold prices for cereals are to be fixed according to the provisions
of Article 5     Council Regulation Ho 120/67/feEC before 15 March each year
for the following marketing year .
The threshold prices are calculated for Rotterdam by subtracting fron the
target price applicable at Duisburg the lowest transport cost fron Rotterdam
to Duisburg , the cost of trans-shipment at Rotterdan and a trading margin ,
so that the sale price of imported cereals on the Duisburg market will be
at the level of the target price after taking into account quality differences .
As regards the threshold price for feed grains for which no target price is
fixed (buckwheat , sorghum , millet and canary seed), these are calculated on
the basis of the proportion 97*98 i° as compared with the threshold price for
barley = 100 fo.
With the aim of simplifying the system and because , apart from oats , nc.i;o
of the above mentioned cereals is produced in significant quantities in the
Community , there should only be a single threshold price for these cereals .
For oats the same level could be justified by the fact that there is no
support measure at the production level ( intervention price ) and that the
Community i3 more or less self sufficient for this cereal .   However , as the
application of the proportion 97*98 $ would lead to an increase of 14.13 %
in the threshold price for oats as' compared with that of the previous marketing
year , it would be advisable to spread this increase over two marketing years .
The threshold price for oats is therefore calculated on the basis of the
proportion 95*56 $ as compared with the threshold price for barley .
As a reminder , the threshold price percentages applied in 1974/1975 for
these cereals were :
                      - Oats              94 %
                      – j3uckwheat        95 %
                      – Sorghum           90 %
                      - Liillet           96.5 $
                         Canary seed      95 p

THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ?
Having regard to Council Regulation No I20/67/SEC             of 13 June 19&7 on the
common organization of the market in cereals , as last amended by Regulation
(EEC ) NO 85/75        a*id in particular Article 5 ( 5 ) (B) thereof;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission :
Whereas , in accordance with Article 5 ( l ) of Regulation No 120/67/EBC , the
threshold price for the principal cereals must be fixed in such a way that
the selling price for the imported product on the Duisburg market will be
the same as the target price ;      whereas , by deducting from the target price
the most advantageous transport costs between Rotterdam and Duisburg, tranship­
ment charges at Rotterdam and a trading margin , this objective may be attained !
whereas thfe target prices were fixed for the 1975/1976 marketing year by Regu­
lation (EEC ) No         /75
Ylhereas the • threshold prices for other cereals for which no target price is
fixed must , in accordance with Article 5 ( 2 ) of Regulation No I20/67 /EEC ,
be so determined that the target price for the principal cereals in competi­
tion with these products may be reached on the Duisburg market ,
