THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, 
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 
22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common 
organization of the market in oils and fats (*), as last 
amended by Regulation (EEC) No ... (2), and in particular 
Article 25 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas, pursuant to Article 25 of Regulation No 136/66/ 
EEC, the amount by which the target price, the intervention 
price and the intervention buying-in price for rape seed and 
sunflower seed are to be increased monthly for a period to 
be determined from the beginning of the fifth month of the 
marketing year should be fixed for the 1989/90 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; 
0) OJ No 172, 30. 9. 1966, p. 3025/66. 
(2) See page 15 of this Official Journal. Whereas those increases, which are to be equal for each 
month, must be fixed taking account of the average storage 
costs and interest recorded in the Community; whereas the 
average storage costs should be established on the basis of 
the cost of storing seed in suitable premises and the cost of 
handling necessary for the proper preservation of the seed; 
whereas the interest may be calculated on the basis of the 
rate considered normal for the producing regions; 
Whereas in the interests of steady disposal of the harvest 
and sound market management the monthly increases 
should be restricted to four at the end of the marketing 
year; whereas, however, to avoid the excessively violent 
disturbance of the market that might well result from such 
a reduction in the number of monthly increases from that 
applied in previous years there should be six in the 1989/90 
marketing year, the reduction to four being deferred to 
1990/91, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
1. For the 1989/90 marketing year, the monthly increases 
in the target price, the intervention price and the 
3. 4. 89 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 82/27 
intervention buying-in price for rape seed shall be 0,239 
ecus per 100 kilograms. 
2. The increases referred to in paragraph 1 shall apply for 
six months from the beginning of the sixth month of the 
marketing year. 
Article 2 
1. For the 1989/90 marketing year, the monthly increases 
in the target price, the intervention price and the 
intervention buying-in price for sunflower seed shall be 
0,284 ecus per 100 kilograms. 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and 
Portugal, and in particular Article 89(1) thereof, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1491/85 of 
23 May 1985 laying down special measures for soya 
beans (!), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No ... (2), 
and in particular Article 1(1) and (3) thereof,

Article 3 
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day 
following its publication in the Official Journal of the 
European Communities. 
It shall apply: 
— from 1 July 1989 for rape seed, 
— from 1 August 1989 for sunflower seed. 
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 Com­
munity; whereas, to this end, a balanced relationship 
should be maintained between this price and the price of 
other oil seeds; 
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 This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
