Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) 
fixing a basic and a buying-in price for apples 
for June 1993 
(presented by the Commission) 
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
As part of the 1992/93 price package, the Council fixed the basic and 
buying-in prices for applies for the period from 1 August to 31 May 1993. 
Under the basic regulation for fruit and vegetables (Regulation (EEC) No 
1035/72), the marketing year runs from 1 July to 30 June of the following 
year. It is therefore possible to fix a price for June also if the market 
situation so requires. 
This is the purpose of this proposal. Apple stocks in the Community are 
appreciably higher this year than in recent years and substantial quantities 
of apples are likely to be withdrawn from the market before the end of 
May 1993. In order to remedy this situation, a basic and a buying-in price 
must be fixed for June 1993.
