Whereas, pursuant to Article 16(1) of Regulation (EEC)

For the Council 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No ... 
of... 
fixing for the 1989/90 marketing year certain prices and other amounts applicable in the fruit 
and vegetables sector 
(89/C 82/42) 
3. 4. 89 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 82/53 
price or buying-in price need be fixed for the slack 
marketing periods at the beginning and at the end of the 
marketing year; 
Whereas, when the basic and buying-in prices for fruit and 
vegetables are fixed, account should be taken of the aims of 
the common agricultural policy and the contribution that 
the Community desires to make to the harmonious 
development of world trade; whereas the objectives of the 
common agricultural policy are, in particular, to ensure a 
fair standard of living for the agricultural community, to 
ensure the availability of supplies and to ensure that they 
reach consumers at reasonable prices; 
Whereas the basic prices must be fixed by reference to the 
trend in the average prices recorded during the three 
previous years on the most representative producer 
markets within the Community for a product of defined 
commercial characteristics, such as variety or type, quality 
class, size and packaging; whereas the buying-in prices 
must be fixed by reference to the basic price in accordance 
with Article 16(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72; 
Whereas as far as most citrus fruit is concerned the 
abovementioned requirement, together with the need to 
accord better utilization of the fruit that finds no outlet on 
the market for fresh products, justifies a reduction in 
prices; whereas in order to avoid too violent a disturbance 
this reduction should be split between the 1989/90 and 
1990/91 marketing years; 
Whereas Spain, during the first phase, and Portugal, during 
the first stage, are authorized to maintain, with respect to 
fruit and vegetables, the national arrangements previously 
in force for the organization of their domestic agricultural 
markets, subject to the conditions laid down respectively in 
Articles 133 to 135 and 262 to 265 of the Act of Accession; 
whereas the prices and amounts fixed by this Regulation 
are therefore applicable only in the Community of Ten; 
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety 
Done at... Whereas as required by Article 148(1) of the Act of 
Accession prices applicable in Spain from 1 January 1990 
to the end of the 1989/90 marketing year will be fixed using 
the rules laid down in Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) 
No 1035/72; 
Whereas the amount of the financial compensation for 
oranges and mandarins must be fixed in accordance with 
the criteria laid down in Article 7(2) of Regulation (EEC) 
No 2511/69, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
1. The basic and buying-in prices for fruit and vegetables 
for the 1989/90 marketing year, the periods during which 
they apply and the standard qualities to which they refer 
shall be as set out in Annex I. 
2. When prices are fixed for the 1990/91 marketing year 
those given in Annex I hereto for oranges, mandarins, 
satsumas and Clementines shall be reduced by at least 
7,5%. 
Article 2 
The financial compensation for oranges and mandarins for 
the 1989/90 marketing year shall be as set out in Annex II.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No ... 
of... 
on the introduction of an intervention threshold for apples and cauliflowers 
(89/C 82/43) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community,

18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in 
fruit and vegetables (*), as last amended by Regulation 
(EEC) No ... (2), and in particular Article 16b(3) thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas Article 16b of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 
provides, in order to make the producers concerned more 
sensitive to the real requirements of the market, for the 
products subject to the prices and intervention arrange­
ments that intervention thresholds are to be fixed beyond 
which financial liability will be borne by the producers; 
Whereas, in view of the situation on the market for apples 
and cauliflowers, and in particular of the scale of 
withdrawals, an intervention threshold should be fixed for 
those products; whereas that threshold may be expressed 
as a percentage of the average quantities produced and 
intended to be consumed fresh over the last five marketing 
years for which data are available; 
Whereas, to take account of the cyclical nature of apple 
production, provision should be made, for that product, for 
the overrun in the threshold to be assessed on the basis of 
(!) OJNoL 118, 20.5. 1972, p. 1. 
(2) See page 51 of this Official Journal. the average withdrawals during the last three marketing 
years; 
Whereas the scale of intervention for cauliflowers should 
be determined over a period of 12 consecutive months,

Article 1 
1. An intervention threshold is hereby fixed for apples at 
3 % of the average production intended to be consumed 
fresh in the last five marketing years for which data are 
available. 
2. The overrun in the intervention threshold shall be 
assessed on the basis of the average withdrawals pursuant 
to Articles 15, 15a, 15b, 19 and 19a of Regulation (EEC) 
No 1035/72 during the last three marketing years. 
3. The overrun referred to in paragraph 2 shall result, for 
the following marketing year, in a reduction in the basic 
and buying-in prices of 1 % for every 78 800 tonnes by 
which the threshold is exceeded. 
Article 2 
1. An intervention threshold is hereby fixed for cauli­
flowers at 3 % of the average production intended to be 
consumed fresh in the last five marketing years for which 
data are available. 
2. The overrun in the intervention threshold shall be 
assessed on the basis of withdrawals pursuant to Ar­
ticles 15,15b, 19 and 19a of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 
over a period of 12 consecutive months.
