Whereas under Article 68 of the Act of accession of Spain and Portugal prices In 
Spain have been set at a level differing from that of the common prices; whereas 
pursuant to Article 70(1) of the Act of Accession Spanish prices should be 
aligned with the common prices In annual steps at the beginning of each 
marketing year; whereas the rules on this alignment laid down give the Spanish 
pr ices set below; 
Whereas it has proved necessary to reconsider all the problems relating to the 
fixing of prices for the 1990/91 marketing year, which will Involve delay in the 
fixing of these prices; whereas It Is therefore necessary to fix the guide price 
for dried fodder products, for which the marketing year expires on 30 April 
1990, for the period 1 to \^ May 1990, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
