The threshold prices for cereals are jfco be fixed acoording -to the provisions
 of Article 5 of Council Regulation (EEC ) No 2727/75 before 15 March 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 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), those are calculated on
the basis of the proportion 9&»45 i° a>s compared with the threshold price for
barley 100         The increase of 9*47 % in these threshold prices is in line
with the increase of 9*48 $ in the maize threshold price .
The threshold price for oats is calculated on the basis of 96.23 $       "the barley
threshold price . An increase of 9*24 % seems sufficient to proteot the production
of this cereal .
As a reminder , the threshold prioe percentages applied in 1975/1976 for these
cereals were :
                             oats        95.97 %
                             others      97.98 %

                            of
fixing the threshold prices for cereals for the 1976/1977 marketing year
THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC ) No 2727/75 °f 29 October 1975 on
the common organization of the market in cereals          as last amended by
Regulation (EEC ) No        /76       and in particular Article 5 ( 5) (^) thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas Article 5 ( L ) of 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 will be the same as the
target price ; whereas this is achieved by deducting from the target price the most ad­
vantageous transport costs between Rotterdam and Duisburg, transhipment charges
at Rotterdam and a trading margin • whereas the
target prioes have been fixed for the 1976/1977 marketing year by Regulation
(EEC ) No       /76
Whereas the threshold prioes for other cereals for which no target price is
fixed must , in accordance with Artiole 5 ( 2) of Regulation (EEC ) No 2727/75, be
so determined that the target price for the principal cereals in competition
with these products may be reached on the Duisburg market .
