Article 2 U.K.

1. For each product and for the periods set out in [F1 Part A of the Annex], for each market day and each origin, the Member States shall communicate to the Commission, by 12 noon (Brussels time) the following working day at the latest:

(a) the average representative prices of the products imported from third countries sold on the representative import markets referred to in Article 3 (1), and significant prices recorded on other markets for large quantities of imported products, or, where no prices for the representative markets are available, significant prices for imported products recorded on other markets; and

(b) the total quantities relating to the prices referred to at (a).

[F2 Where the total quantities referred to in (b) are less than one tonne, the corresponding prices shall not be communicated to the Commission.]

2. The prices referred to in paragraph 1 (a) shall be recorded:

• for each of the products listed in [F1 Part A of the Annex],

• for all of the available varieties and sizes,

• at the importer/wholesaler stage or the wholesaler/retailer stage where no prices at the importer/wholesaler stage are available.

[F3 They shall be reduced by the following amounts:

(a) a marketing margin of 15 % for the marketing centres of London, Milan and Rungis and of 8 % for other marketing centres, and

(b) costs of transport and insurance within the customs territory.

For the costs of freight and insurance to be deducted pursuant to the third subparagraph, the Member States may fix standard amounts for deduction. Such standard amounts and the methods for calculating them shall be made known to the Commission immediately.]

3. The prices recorded in accordance with paragraph 2 shall, where they are established at the wholesaler/retailer stage, first be reduced by an amount equal to 9 % to take account of the wholesaler's trade margin, and by an amount equal to [F4 ECU 0,7245] per 100 kilograms to take account of the costs of handling and market taxes and charges.

4. The following shall be deemed to be representative:

• the prices of Class I products, provided that the quantities in that class account for at least 50 % of the total quantities marketed,

• the prices of Class I products plus, where products in that class account for less than 50 % of the total quantities, the prices as established of Class II products for quantities enabling 50 % of the total quantities marketed to be covered,

• the prices as established of Class II products, where Class I products are not available, unless it is decided to apply an adjustment coefficient to them if, as a result of the production conditions for products of the origin in question, those products are not normally and traditionally marketed in Class I as a result of their quality characteristics.

The adjustment coefficient referred to in the third indent shall be applied to prices after deduction of the amounts referred to in paragraph 2.
