particular Article 25 thereof, Article 1

accordance with the table in the Annex hereto. 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas, pursuant to Article 25 of Regulation No 
136/66/EEC, the amounts by which the target price, the 
intervention price and the buying-in price for rape seed and 
sunflower seed are to be increased each month should be 
fixed for the 1990/91 marketing year and the number of 
months during which those increases are to be applied should 
be laid down; whereas that amount must be the same for all 
three prices;

month, must be fixed taking account of the average storage 
costs and interest recorded in the Community; whereas the

handling necessary for the proper preservation of the seed; 
whereas the interest may be calculated using the rate 
considered normal for the producing regions as a basis, Article 2
