                     EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
 Council Regulations n° 121/67/EEC of 12 June 1967 on the common organization
 of the market in pigmeat t n° 122/67/EEC of 13 June 1967 on the common
 organization of the market in eggs and n° 123/67/EEC of 13 June 1967 of the connr
 organization of the market in poultrymeat provide for a system of import
 and export levies to he applied at the external frontiers of the Community
whioh serve to stabilize the Community market , in particular "by preventing
price fluctuations on the world market from affecting prices ruling within
the Community .
 In fixing sluice-gate prioes and levies in respect of imports from non-member
 countries account is taken of the incidence on feeding oosts of the difference
"between prices for feed grain within the Community and on the wolrd market .
With regard to world market prioes for cereals , provision is made in the
three above-mentioned basic regulations to take account of prices recorded
in the oourse of the six months preceding the quarter during which the levies
to be applied in the following quarter are fixed and the consequent implemen­
ting regulation is drafted. This means that in practice the cereal prices used
as a basis for calculating levies relate to a period that has ended three
months before entry into force of the amounts calculated . This system was
satisfactory so long as the world market in cereals remained stable . But now
that there are frequent and substantiel price fluctuations the sluice-gate
prioes and levies fixed in accordance with existing regulations no longer
reflect the real level of prioes for these products in these three seotors .
In order to up-date the basis for the calculation of sluce-gate prices and
levies it would be advisable to adopt a reference period that better reflects
the economic situation in the quarter during which these amounts are to be
applied. It is therefore proposed to adopt a shorter reference period,
namely five months instead of six and to bring the period closer by two months
to the quarter in whioh the sluioe-«ate prides and levies are to be applied.
