The threshold prices for cereals are to be fixed aooording to the provisions
of Article 5      Counoil Regulation (EEC ) No 2727/75 before 15 Maroh each year
for the following marketing year.
The threshold prices are calculated for Rotterdam by subtracting from the
target price applicable at Duisburg the lowest transport cost from Rotterdam
to Duisburg , the oost of trans-shipment at Rotterdam and a trading margin ,
so that the sale price of imported cereals on the Duisburg market will be
at the level of the target prioe after taking into aooount quality differences .
As regards the threshold price for feed grains for which no target price is
fixed ( buckwheat , sorghum , millet and canary seed ), those are calculated on
the basis of the proportion 98*45 % as compared with threshold price for
barley - 100 $ (the same proportion as in 1976/77 )*
The threshold price for oats is oaloulated on the basis of 96.20 % of the
barley threshold price (1976/77 m 96*23 $).
The increase in the threshold prices for feed grains amounts to 5«H $
(5.08 $ for oats ) in comparison with the 1976/77 marketing year.

fixing the threshold prices for cereals for the 1977/    78 marketing year
THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COI^IUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,

the common organization of the market in cereals        as last amended "by
Regulation (EEC) No .     /77 ^2\      *-n particular Article 5 (5) (b) thereof
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 5 ( l )   Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 provides that 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 is the
same as the target price ; whereas this is achieved by deducting from the
target price the most advantageous transport costs between Rotterdam and
Duisburg, transhipment charges at Rotterdam and a trading margin ; whereas
the target prices have been fixed for the 1977/ 78 marketing year by Regu-*
lation (EEC) No      /77
Whereas the threshold prices for other cereals for which no target price is
fixed must , in accordance with Article 5 ( 2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 »
be so determined that the target price for the principal cereals in compe­
tition with these products may be reached on the Duisburg market ^
