                      Explanatory memorandum
The average market price for pig carcases to be compared with
the basic price is ascertained , pursuant to Article 4 of
Council Regulation No 121 /67/EEC , by ctlculating the
arithmetic mean of pig carcase prices recorded on the
representative markets of the Community .
Since it is now possible , following the surveys of the pig
populations of each Member State    carried out under the
Council Directive of 27 March 1968 , to obtain a precise
assessment of the numbers of piga in each Member State , it
is proposed that the average market price for pig carcases
be ascertained as accurately as possible by calculating
the weighted average pig carcase prices , reflecting the
relative sizes of the pig populations of each Member State ,
and to amend Article 4 of Regulation Ho 121/67/EEC
accordingly .

amending Regulation No 121/67/EEC as regards the price recorded for pig
carcases in the Community
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 Council Regulation No 12l/67/EEC^^ of 13 June 1967 on the2 common  )
organization of the market in pigmeat , as last amended by the Act v / annexed
to the Treaty concerning the accession of new Member States to the European
Economic Community and to the European Atomic Energy Community^ \ signed at
Brussels on 22 January 1972 , set up a Community intervention system seared to
the average price trend for pig carcases on the representative markets of the
Community .
Whereas , by reason of the improvement in prices recorded and in the number of
pigs , it is now possible to determine an average price , which is more balanced
as between supply and demand in the Community, by weighting these prices by
means of coefficients reflecting the relative size of the pig herd in each
Member State :
