Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas the standard amount representing overhead costs of production and marketing referred to in Article 12 (2) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 was fixed at 20 units of account per 100 kilograms of pig carcases by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2766/75 of 29 October 1975 establishing the list of products for which sluice-gate prices are to be fixed and laying down the rules for fixing the sluice-gate price for pig carcases (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 370/76 (4);

Whereas the overhead costs of production and marketing and in particular the overhead costs of production recorded on the world market have increased considerably over the past few years ; whereas the standard amount representing these cost must therefore be fixed at a level higher than 20 units of account per 100 kilograms of pig carcases,
