COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1778/82

of 2 July 1982

fixing, for the 1982/83 marketing year, the threshold prices for cereals and for certain classes of flour, groats and meal

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 1451/82 (2), and in particular Article 5 (5) and (6) thereof,

Whereas Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 provides that the threshold price for the principal cereals must be fixed in such a way that the selling price for imported products on the Duisburg market is the same as the target price; whereas this is achieved by deducting from the target price the most advantageous transport costs between Rotterdam and Duisburg, transhipment charges at Rotterdam and a trading margin; whereas the target prices have been fixed for the 1982/83 marketing year by Regulation (EEC) No 1452/82 (3);

Whereas the threshold prices for other cereals for which no target price is fixed must, in accordance with Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75, be so determined that the target price for the principal cereals in competition with these products may be reached on the Duisburg market;

Whereas, pursuant to Article 5 (5) of the abovementioned Regulation, the threshold prices for wheat flour, meslin flour and rye flour and for wheat groats and meal must be fixed according to the rules and for the standard qualities laid down in Articles 6, 7, 8 and 9 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2734/75 (4);

Whereas the calculations made in accordance with those rules give the prices shown below;

Whereas the Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
