COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2258/87
of 28 July 1987
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1570/77 on price increases and reductions applicable to intervention in cereals
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1900/87 (2), and in particular Article 7 (7) thereof,
Whereas the intervention arrangements in cereals sector have been altered as from the 1987/88 marketing year; whereas, henceforth, when intervention is opened in the Community, buying-in is to be carried out in accordance with Article 7 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 on the basis of a price equal to 94 % of the intervention price for the cereals in question; whereas it should be specified that the price increases and/or reductions apply to the actual buying-in price without the monthly increases and not to the intervention price;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2731/75 of 29 October 1975 fixing standard qualities for common wheat, rye, barley, maize, sorghum and durum wheat (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2094/87 (4) lays down more stringent criteria for the standard quality of durum wheat; whereas this should be taken into consideration, in particular as regards the scale of price increases to be applied in respect of the moisture content; whereas fixing the moisture content for the standard quality at 13 % makes it necessary to draw up a scale of price reductions;
Whereas, as regards durum wheat, it is no longer appropriate at present to apply price increases and reductions relating to specific weight;
Whereas, in light of the foregoing, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1570/77 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2135/86 (6), should be amended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
