THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, 
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 1785/81 of 
30 June 1981 on the common organization of the markets in 
the sugar sector (J), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) 
No , and in particular Articles 3 (5), 5 (5), 8 (4) and 
14 (5) thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No of fixing, 
for the 1986/87 marketing year, the sugar prices and the 
standard quality of beet, fixed the intervention price for 
white sugar at 54,18 ECU per 100 kilograms; 
Whereas Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 
provides that derived intervention prices for white sugar are 
to be fixed for each of the deficit areas; whereas, for such 
fixing, it is appropriate that account be taken of the regional 
variations which, given a normal harvest and free movement 
of sugar, might be expected to occur in the price of sugar 
under natural conditions of price formation on the 
market; 
Whereas a deficit supply situation is to be foreseen in 
the areas of production in Italy, Ireland and the United 
Kingdom; 
Whereas Article 3 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 
provides that an intervention price for raw sugar shall be 
fixed; whereas such a price should be established on the basis 
of the intervention price for white sugar; 
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No fixed the basic price for 
beet at 40,89 ECU per tonne; whereas Article 5 (2) of 
Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 provides that the minimum 
price to be fixed for A beet shall be 98 % of the basic price of the beet and the minimum price to be fixed for B beet shall in 
principle be 68 % of the said basic price; 
Whereas Article 14 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 
provides that the threshold price for white sugar shall be 
equal to the target price, plus costs, calculated at a flat rate, 
of transport from the Community area having the largest 
surplus to the most distant deficit consumption area in the 
Community, plus a flat-rate amount which takes into 
account the storage levy; whereas, given the state of supplies 
within the Community, account should be taken of transport 
charges between the departments of northern France and 
Palermo; 
Whereas the threshold price for raw sugar is to be derived 
from the threshold price for white sugar by reference to a 
processing margin and a standard yield; 
Whereas the threshold price for molasses should be fixed in 
such a way that the receipts from sales of molasses may reach 
the level of receipts of undertakings taken into account in the 
fixing of basic prices for beet; 
Whereas Article 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 
1358/77 (2) provides that the amount of repayment in the 
context of the compensation for storage costs shall be fixed 
per month and per unit of weight, taking account of 
financing, insurance and specific storage costs; 
Whereas, when fixing the prices to be applied in Spain and 
Portugal, the prices fixed for those Member States for the 
period from 1 March to 30 June 1986 should be aligned with 
the common prices in accordance with Articles 70 and 238 of 
the Act of Accession; 
Whereas intervention prices for white sugar and beet prices in 
the acceding States should be fixed by specific provisions, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
For the deficit areas of the Community other than Portugal, 
the derived intervention price for white sugar shall be fixed
