Whereas, under Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77, the minimum price which processors must pay to the producer is derived from the purchase price for class II plus 5 % of the basic price; whereas, to simplify matters, this calculation should be based on the average basic and purchase prices fixed for the 1985/86 marketing year by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1317/85 (3);
Whereas, under Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77, financial compensation cannot exceed the difference between the minimum purchase price referred to in Article 1 of the said Regulation and the prices obtaining for the basic products in producer third countries; whereas, for the purposes of calculating this compensation and with a view to encouraging optimum marketing of lemon products, it would seem advisable to apply the full difference between these prices;
Whereas, because of the late publication of the amounts of the minimum price and financial compensation, the interested parties have been unable to conclude contracts for the first part of the 1985/86 marketing year by the specified time; whereas derogations should therefore be made from the dates specified in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1045/77 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3482/80 (5);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,

2. The said minimum price shall be in respect of products ex-producer's packaging station.
Article 2

1. By way of derogation from Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1045/77, contracts for the first part of the 1985/86 marketing year may be concluded until 31 July 1985.
2. By way of derogation from Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1045/77, supplementary agreements to the contracts referred to in paragraph 1 may be concluded until 30 September 1985.
Article 4
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1302/97 (6), lays down certain rules concerning the payment of advances; whereas, in view of the difficult situation in certain German regions on account of the flooding of the Oder, an increase in the amount of the advance on the special premium and on the suckler cow premium should be authorized and the initial date for the payment of those advances brought forward; whereas the expenditure linked to those advances may, if necessary, be charged to the budget at a later date, depending on the funds remaining in the 1997 budget; whereas, to this end, a derogation should be made from Article 7 (1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 296/96 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EC) 1391/97 (8);
Whereas this Regulation should enter into force without delay so as to allow the advances to be paid as from 1 September 1997;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal and the Fund Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
