Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas, under Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75, intervention measures may be taken if, on the representative markets of the Community, the Community market price for pig carcases is, and is likely to remain, below 103 % of the basic price;

Whereas, in order to enable this provision to be applied, a list of representative markets must be drawn up ; whereas reference must be made, in fixing the prices of pig carcases, both to the markets or quotation centres and to the places where trade organizations which fix their purchasing prices are situated, and of which the entirety forms a representative market for each Member State;

Whereas in Germany, France, Greece and the United Kingdom the prices paid by the public and private slaughterhouses are ascertained by one or more quotation centres for the various regions ; whereas in Belgium, Italy, Ireland and Luxembourg, prices are directly recorded in the most important selling places, while in Denmark and the Netherlands purchasing prices are fixed by trade organizations;

Whereas the purpose of this Regulation is to replace Council Regulation (EEC) No 2762/75 of 29 October 1975 establishing the list of representative markets for pigmeat in the Community (3), as amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2896/79 (4),
