Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No . . . 
of . . . 
fixing certain prices and other amounts applicable in the fruit and vegetables sector for the 
1990/91 marketing year 
(89/C 49/46) 
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 Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, 
and in particular Article 89 (1) thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social 
Committee, 
Whereas, pursuant to Article 16(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 
1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of 
the market in fruit and vegetables (*), as last amended by 
Regulation (EEC) No . . . (2), a basic price and a buying-in 
price are to be fixed for each marketing year for each of the 
products listed in Annex II to the said Regulation; whereas, 
in accordance with Article 1 (3) of the above Regulation, the 
marketing years for the products in question are as 
follows: 
— for cauliflowers, from 1 May to 30 April, 
— for tomatoes, from 1 January to 31 December, 
— for peaches and nectarines, from 1 May to 31 
October, 
— for lemons, from 1 June to 31 May, 
— for pears, from 1 June to 31 May, 
— for table grapes, from 1 May to 30 April, 
— for apples, from 1 July to 30 June, 
— for mandarins, satsumas and Clementines, from 
1 October to 15 May, 
— for oranges, from 1 October to 15 July, 
— for aubergines, from 1 January to 31 December, 
— for apricots, from 1 May to 31 August; 
Whereas, however, pursuant to the third subparagraph of 
Article 16 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, no basic 
price or buying-in price need be fixed for the slack marketing 
periods at the beginning and at the end of the marketing 
year; 
(>) OJ No L 118, 20. 5. 1972, p. 1. . 
(2) See page . . of this Official Journal. Whereas, when the basic and buying-in prices for fruit and 
vegetables are fixed, account has to be taken both of the 
objectives of the common agricultural policy and of the 
contribution which the Community desires to make to the 
harmonious development of world trade; whereas the 
objectives of the common agricultural policy are, in 
particular, to guarantee a fair standard of living for the 
farming community and to ensure that supplies are available 
and 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) 1035/72; 
Whereas, as far as citrus fruit is concerned, the 
abovementioned requirement and the need to permit better 
utilization of the fruit that finds no outlet on the market for 
fresh products justify a reduction in prices; 
Whereas Article 148 (1) of the Act of Accession results in a 
price level in Spain differing from that of the common prices; 
whereas, pursuant to Article 149 of the Act of Accession, the 
Spanish prices should be aligned more closely on the common 
prices each year at the beginning of each marketing year; 
whereas the criteria laid down for this alignment give the 
Spanish prices fixed at the levels set out below; 
Whereas Portugal, during the fist stage, is authorized to 
maintain, with respect to fruit and vegetables, the national 
arrangements previously in force for the organization of its 
domestic agricultural market, subject to the conditions laid 
down in Articles 262 to 265 of the Act of Accession; whereas 
the prices and amounts fixed by this Regulation are therefore 
applicable only in the Community excluding Portugal; 
Whereas, pursuant to Article 285 (1) (a) of the Act of 
Accession, prices applicable in Portugal from 1 January 1991 
to the end of the 1990/91 marketing year are to be fixed in 
accordance with the rules provided for under the common 
organization of the market; 
Whereas the financial compensation for oranges and 
mandarins must be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid 
down in Article 7 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 
2511 / 69 of 9 December 1969 laying down special measures 
for improving the production and marketing of Community
