25. 11.83                          Official Journal of the European Communities                              N o C 319/3

                                                  (Preparatory Acts)
                                             COMMISSION
          Proposal for a Council Regulation amending Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 on the
                                  common organization of the market in pigmeat
                                                 COM(83) 659 final
                        (Submitted by the Commission to the Council on 15 November 1983)
          THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
          Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in
          particular Article 43 thereof,
          Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
          Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
          Whereas Articles 3 to 7 of Council Regulation (EEC) N o 2759/75 ('), as last amended
          by Regulation (EEC) N o 2966/80 (2), provide for an intervention system on the
          Community market which may consist in private storage aid or buying in by intervention
          agencies; whereas experience has shown that private storage aid alone is sufficient to
          prevent or mitigate a substantial fall in prices;
          Whereas the provisions concerning buying in by intervention agencies may therefore be
          repealed,
          HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
                                                        Article 1
          Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 is hereby amended as follows:
          1. Article 3 is replaced by the following:
                Article 3
               1.     In order to prevent or mitigate a substantial fall in prices, intervention measures
               in the form of aid for private storage may be taken.
               2.     The Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission,
               shall adopt general rules for granting private storage aid.
               3.     Detailed rules for the application of this Article, in particular the list of products
               which qualify for aid and the amounts applicable, shall be adopted in accordance with
               the procedure laid down in Article 24.'
