Whereas the markets and prices policy, based on modern 
farms, is the main instrument of the incomes policy in 
agriculture; whereas full advantage cannot be drawn from 
such a policy unless it is integrated into the common 
agricultural policy as a whole, including a dynamic social

and structural policy and the application of the rules on 
competition contained in the Treaty; 
Whereas in many cases surpluses can no longer be disposed 
of on normal terms either inside or outside the Com­
munity ; whereas, in order to reduce the cost to the budget 
of disposing of surpluses on markets outside the Com­
munity and to encourage greater consumption within the 
Community, the restrictive price policy should continue to 
be applied; whereas this aim may be achieved by 
maintaining for 1988/1989 the intervention prices for 
common wheat, barley, rye, maize and grain sorghum for 
the preceding marketing year; 
Whereas, as part of a quality policy, production of common 
wheat of higher breadmaking quality and production of rye 
of breadmaking quality should be supported; whereas, 
accordingly, the special premium for common wheat of 
breadmaking quality and for rye of breadmaking quality 
should be retained; whereas, however, the level of these 
premiums should be maintained at the same level; 
Whereas from the 1986/1987 marketing year the Council 
began a process of aligning the intervention price of durum 
wheat on that of common wheat; whereas, in view of, on 
the one hand, the present ratio between the prices of those 
cereals and, on the other, the imbalance recorded on the 
durum wheat market, it is advisable to pursue that process; Proposal for a Council Regulation (EEC) fixing the prices applicable to cereals for the 1988/1989

wheat should again be reduced; HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
For the 1988/1989 marketing year the prices applicable in 
the cereals sector shall be as set out in the Annex hereto. 
Whereas application of Article 68 of the Act of Accession of 
Spain and Portugal has meant that prices in Spain differ 
from the common prices; whereas, pursuant to Article 
70(1) of the Act of Accession, Spanish prices should be 
aligned on common prices each year at the start of the 
marketing year; whereas as a result of applying the criteria 
for this alignment Spanish prices are fixed at the level set 
out below, Article 2
