                           Proposal for a
                   REGULATION (EEC ) OP THE COUNCIL
            amending Regulation No 121 /67/EEG as regards
             certain conditions for granting aid for
                    private storage of pigmeat

                       of the proposp.1 Council Regulation
completing Regulation N° 121/67/EEC concerning certain conditions for the
triggering of the granting of private storage aid for pigmeat
Given that it is necessary to amend the "basic regulation , which stays in force
for an unlimited period , an estimate of the costs entailed by this amendment
is only possible for a defined period .
For the present year it can be estimated that the quantities of products
able to benefit from the granting of private storage aid (with the exclusion
of private storage aid granted in Belgium as an exceptional measure following
the appearance of foot and mouth disease ( Commission Regulation (SEC ) N° 1159/74
of 8 Kay 1974)aJ*o a-s follows :
Assumptions :
1 ) Application of the measure as from 1.7.1974 in Germany , Belgium , Denmark
    and the Netherland for an average period of 4 months .
2 ) Total quantity to be stocked ; 18,000 metric tons .
3 ) Total amount : 3.2 millLcti units of account .
In the case where the measure must also be extended to other Member States,
or for a longer period , the amount could increase by up to ICO
The expenditure comes under Article 651 ( interventions in the pigmeat sector)
 of the budget of the European Communities where 5 million u. a. are allocated
for intervention measures .

1 , The situation in the pigmeat market has for a certain period been charac­
    terized by very important price differences between the different regions
    of production.
    The differences are most evident between certain deficit regions and those
    traditionally surplus regions .
2 . The provisions in force (Article 4 ( 2 ) of Regulation N° 121/67/E3C as amended
    by Ccu; >.1 Regulation (EEC ) N° 1652/73 ) * only provide for interventions in
    i.h.3 market vnen the average market price is at a level of 103 /£ of the basic
    price .
    Ae an ex'jmpj e it may be mentioned that during 6 to 1 ? "^ay 1374 r the Commu­
    nity avoia^fa ( 91,54 TJA) was at a Icv^l of 106,4 %          tat? ba -ii-J pcico in
    force ., H - v.;" e thj price in No ho:, land was £8,6 yo and in Gor.nar.y 96,1 %
    0Î i.hat ba^.c p -icr-,.
    This nea%s ■'-hat for abound 40 % of the Community pigrsr'. produol.icn the
    market d -^ Ioc - e veve pov only 3.ewer     tj-a loval of ca*ry.r ; uvt a o:Tf ar.t
     int'or/ension (£3,j3 UA/1C0 kj) , but also low:r -than ih -> brxic ?r Lee ( 36 TJA/
    100 k *} and in Nutncrland even lower than the Ccm.ivji.Viy maximum buying-in
    price ,
3 . As concerns the Community intervention policy on pigmeat it has always been
     a basic idea to try to give the near.'ires a preventive effect .
     Considering the above mentioned sxtua+ ion and the ijrposrib.- j.i.Ty to intervene
     in "ti.Tip because of the provisions pr5t»o?;t 1y in - crce * xt seoi;G necoSoaTj -o
     increase tho possi «;,litics of taking certain n.easure3 of intnr/t.-n^icn tv £.nd
     for p rival e f?tora&e ) in order to make them more preventive and to avoid more
     costly intervention measures .

pig carcases on the representative markets of the Community ;
Whereas to contribute to prevent the development of a situation with e,bnonr.ally
low prices in certain representative markets , the possibility of tcking measu­
res apt to improve such a situation should be provided for ;

aid for private storage may comply with those exigencies ;

11 If , however , the Community market price for pig carcases is at a level
   e^ual to or higher than 103 fb and less than 107 cp of "the basic price ,
   and the price found in at least one representative market , representing
   a considerable part of the Community production , is below 92       of the
    basic-price ,                       aid for private storage in one or seve­
   ral regions of the Community may be provided for "•
