1.11.75 Official Journal of the European Communities No L 282/25 REGULATION (EEC) No 2766/75 OF THE COUNCIL 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 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 12 (4) thereof; Having regard to the proposal from the Commission; Whereas Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides that sluice-gate prices are to be fixed only for certain of the products other than pig carcases in Article 1 of that Regulation and that for these the sluice-gate prices shall be derived from the sluice-gate price for pig carcases; Whereas the system of sluice-gate prices only achieves its purpose if an offer price can be fixed which is sufficiently representative of all products falling within a single Tariff heading; whereas such an offer price cannot always be fixed for certain products which are manufactured from various cuts and by various methods and are consequently offered on the market in a wide range of qualities; whereas sluice-gate prices should accordingly not at present be fixed for those products; Whereas under Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 the sluice-gate price for pig carcases is to be made up of three components: — an amount equal to the value on the world market of the quantity of feed grain equivalent to the quantity of feedingstuffs required for the production in third countries of one kilogramme of pigmeat, — a standard amount representing the extra cost, in relation to feed grain, of feedingstuffs other than grain required for the production of one kilogramme of pigmeat, — a standard amount representing overhead costs of production and marketing; (1) See page 1 of this Official Journal. Whereas this quantity of feed grain should be calculated on the basis of a processing coefficient of 1:5-46; whereas this coefficient is obtained by multiplying the total quantity of feedingstuffs required for the production and fattening of a young pig, (such quantity containing on average approximately 15 % of feedingstuffs other than grain), by a coefficient of 1-3 expressing the ratio of the value of one kilogramme of live swine to that of one kilogramme of pig carcases; Whereas it is appropriate to take as representative of the relevant quantity of feed grain on the world market a mixture of cereals with the following composition: Barley 40 % Maize 35 % Oats 25 % Whereas, for the purpose of calculating the value of this quantity of feed grain and in view of its composition, it is thus clear that its price on the world market is equal to the average, weighted according to the composition of the above quantity, of the prices for each of the cereals in question; Whereas in order to calculate the price of each of the constituent cereals the average cif price for such cereals for the period mentioned in the second subparagraph of Article 12 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 should be used, this average being increased by 0-475 wunit of account per 100 kilogrammes of cereals in order to take account of the costs of transport to the place of use and of the cost of processing into feed; Whereas the value for the quantity of feed grain does not take into account the extra value of protein feeds, mineral salts and vitamins; whereas in the light of experience on the world market in recent years this extra value can be estimated in general at 15 % of the value of the quantity of feed grain; whereas the value of that quantity should accordingly be increased by that percentage;
