REGULATION (EEC) 2764/75 OF THE COUNCIL of 29 October 1975 laying down the rules for calculating a component of the levy on pig carcases

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 (1) of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat, and in particular Article 9 (2) thereof;

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;

Whereas the levy on pig carcases is composed in particular of a component equal to the difference between prices within the Community and on the world market for the quantity of feed grain required for the production in the Community of one kilogramme of pigmeat;

Whereas in view of the conditions under which pigmeat is produced in the Community that quantity should be established on the basis of a processing coefficient of 1 : 4.2 ; whereas this coefficient expresses the ratio between one kilogramme of pigmeat and the quantity of feed grain required for its production;

Whereas the following mixture of cereal grains should be taken as representative of that quantity in the Community: >PIC FILE= "T0008425">

Whereas, given the composition of the quantity of feed grain, the price of the latter within the Community and on the world market should be equal to the average, weighted according to the composition mentioned, of the prices for each of the cereals in question within the Community and on the world market;

Whereas for the calculation of the price for each of the constituent cereals the following should be used: - the average of the threshold prices plus the monthly increases ruling during the period referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 9 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75,
