COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1249/89 of 3 May 1989 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat

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 the proposal from the Commission (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),

Whereas Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3906/87 (5), stipulates that a basic price for slaughtered pigs valid from 1 November of each year is to be fixed; whereas feed grain costs have a major influence on the cost of production of slaughtered pigs; whereas, because of this close dependence, the basic price should come into effect on the same date as the grain marketing year begins; whereas, in fixing the basic price, account is taken of the sluice-gate price and the levy applicable in the pigmeat sector and whereas, therefore, the dates on which these come into effect must also be changed;

Whereas Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides for determination of the Community market price of slaughtered pigs from prices recorded on the representative markets; whereas Article 4 (5) of that Regulation states that the list of representative markets is to be adopted by the Council acting by a qualified majority; whereas, given the purely technical nature of this matter and the frequent need for changes, the procedure provided for in Article 24 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 would be more appropriate;

Whereas, when the combined nomenclature and the common customs tariff established by Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (6) were introduced into Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 by Regulation (EEC) No 3906/87, two products bound under GATT that should have been listed in Article 10 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 were omitted; whereas this mistake should be corrected,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
