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 Articles 89 (1) and 234 (2) thereof, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1491 / 85 of 
23 May 1985 laying down special measures for soya 
beans (!), and in particular Article 1 (1) and (3) thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, 
Whereas, when the guide price for soya beans is fixed on an 
annual basis, account should be taken 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 ensure a fair 
standard of living for the agricultural community and to 
ensure that supplies are available and reach consumers at 
reasonable prices; 
Whereas the second subparagraph of Article 1 (1) of 
Regulation (EEC) No 1491/85 provides more specifically 
that this price shall be fixed at a fair level for producers, 
having regard to the supply requirements of the Community; 
whereas, to this end, a balanced relationship should be 
maintained between this price and the price of other oil 
seeds; 
(») OJ No L 151, 10. 6. 1985, p. 15. Whereas in accordance with these criteria the guide price 
should be fixed at the level indicated below; 
Whereas the guide price must be fixed for a standard quality 
to be determined by reference to the average quality of beans 
harvested in the Community; whereas the quality laid down 
for the 1985/86 marketing year meets this requirement and 
can accordingly be used for the next marketing year; 
Whereas, under Articles 68 and 236 of the Act of Accession 
of Spain and Portugal, prices in these two countries have been 
set at levels differing from that of the common prices; 
whereas, pursuant to Articles 70 (1) and 238 (1) of the Act of 
Accession, these prices should be aligned with the common 
prices in annual steps at the beginning of each marketing 
year; whereas the rules laid down in this alignment give the 
Spanish and Portuguese prices set out below,

Whereas Article 2(6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1491/85 
provides that the Council shall each year fix a minimum price 
for soya beans; whereas the price is fixed so as to guarantee 
sales for bean producers at a price as close as possible to the 
guide price, taking into account market fluctuations and the 
cost of transporting the beans from the production areas to 
the processing areas; 
Whereas, in order to achieve the abovementioned objective, 
this minimum price must be fixed for a standard quality and a 
well-defined marketing stage; 
Whereas, under Articles 68 and 236 of the Act of Accession 
of Spain and Portugal, prices in these two countries have been 
set at levels differing from that of the common prices;
