COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC ) NO 1019/84 OF 31 MARCH 1984 FIXING CEREAL PRICES FOR THE 1984/85 MARKETING YEAR

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,

HAVING REGARD TO THE TREATY ESTABLISHING THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY , AND IN PARTICULAR ARTICLE 43 THEREOF ,

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 1018/84 ( 2 ) , AND IN PARTICULAR ARTICLES 3 ( 6 ) AND 4 THEREOF ,

HAVING REGARD TO THE PROPOSAL FROM THE COMMISSION ( 3 ) ,

HAVING REGARD TO THE OPINION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT ( 4 ) ,

HAVING REGARD TO THE OPINION OF THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COMMITTEE ( 5 ) ,

WHEREAS THE MARKETS AND PRICES POLICY , BASED ON MODERN FARMS , IS THE MAIN INSTRUMENT OF THE INCOMES POLICY IN AGRICULTURE ; WHEREAS FULL ADVANTAGE CANNOT BE DRAWN FROM SUCH A POLICY UNLESS IT IS INTEGRATED INTO THE COMMON AGRICULTURAL POLICY , WHICH INCLUDES A DYNAMIC SOCIAL AND STRUCTURAL POLICY AND THE APPLICATION OF THE RULES ON COMPETITION CONTAINED IN THE TREATY ;

WHEREAS , IN MANY CASES , SURPLUSES CAN NO LONGER BE DISPOSED OF ON NORMAL TERMS EITHER ON EXPORT MARKETS OR WITHIN THE COMMUNITY ; WHEREAS THIS IS PARTICULARLY SO IN THE CASE OF COMMON WHEAT ; WHEREAS , IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE COST TO THE BUDGET OF DISPOSING OF SURPLUSES ON THIRD COUNTRY MARKETS AND TO ENCOURAGE GREATER CONSUMPTION WITHIN THE COMMUNITY , THE POLICY OF CAUTION ON PRICES SHOULD BECOME A POLICY OF RESTRICTION AND THE GAP BETWEEN COMMUNITY PRICES AND THOSE OF THE PRINCIPAL EXPORTING COUNTRIES SHOULD BE PROGRESSIVELY REDUCED ; WHEREAS THIS OBJECTIVE MAY BE ATTAINED BY BRINGING DOWN , FOR THE 1984/85 MARKETING YEAR , INTERVENTION PRICES AND THE REFERENCE PRICE , EXCEPT THE INTERVENTION PRICES FIXED FOR DURUM WHEAT AND RYE ;

WHEREAS , AS FAR AS RYE IS CONCERNED , THE ECONOMIC SITUATION JUSTIFIES KEEPING THE INTERVENTION PRICE AT THE LEVEL FIXED FOR THE 1983/84 MARKETING YEAR ; WHEREAS TO DO SO MEANS IT IS NECESSARY TO DEROGATE FROM THE PRINCIPLE OF THE COMMON SINGLE INTERVENTION PRICE AND TO FIX A SINGLE INTERVENTION PRICE FOR THIS CEREAL ; WHEREAS SUCH DEROGATION INVOLVES FIXING A TARGET PRICE WHICH LIES AT A DIFFERENT LEVEL FROM THAT OF THE TARGET PRICE FOR THE OTHER CEREALS ; WHEREAS , AS FAR AS DURUM WHEAT IS CONCERNED , SUPPLY AND DEMAND ARE FAIRLY WELL BALANCED AND THIS SITUATION THUS JUSTIFIES ALSO THE INTERVENTION PRICE FIXED FOR THE 1983/84 MARKETING YEAR BEING EXTENDED ;

WHEREAS , AS FAR AS COMMON WHEAT IS CONCERNED , THE PRICE TO BE APPLIED IN THE EVENT OF SPECIAL INTERVENTION MEASURES FOR MINIMUM BREAD-MAKING QUALITY SHOULD NOT BE SET BY THIS REGULATION BUT DETERMINED WHEN SUCH MEASURES ARE INTRODUCED ;

WHEREAS , PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 3A OF REGULATION ( EEC ) NO 2727/75 , A GUARANTEE THRESHOLD SHOULD BE SET BOTH FOR DURUM WHEAT AND FOR THE OTHER CEREALS ;

WHEREAS THE GUARANTEE THRESHOLD MUST BE PART OF A MEDIUM-TERM APPROACH ; WHEREAS , IN VIEW OF THE PROSPECTS FOR BOTH THE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL MARKETS , THE GUARANTEE THRESHOLD FOR 1989/90 CAN BE FIXED AT 4 777 000 TONNES FOR DURUM WHEAT AND KEPT AT 126 000 000 TONNES FOR THE OTHER CEREALS ;

WHEREAS IN THE LIGHT OF THIS MEDIUM-TERM APPROACH THE GUARANTEE THRESHOLD FOR 1984/85 SHOULD BE FIXED AT 4 600 000 TONNES FOR DURUM WHEAT AND 121 320 000 TONNES FOR THE OTHER CEREALS ,
