Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social 
Committee, 
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 the intervention price for paddy rice must be fixed at 
a rate which takes simultaneous account of the policy in 
respect of rice production, of the uses to which it is put and of 
the improvement of farm incomes; 
(») OJ No L 166, 25. 6. 1976, p. 1. Whereas the target price for husked rice must be derived from 
the intervention price for paddy rice, in accordance with the 
criteria set out in Article 4 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 
1418/76; 
Whereas, for the products referred to in this Regulation, the 
application of the criteria for the fixing of the different prices 
and the application of the measures provided for in respect of 
the exchange rates to be applied in agriculture entail fixing 
those prices at the level indicated below; 
Whereas under Article 68 of the Act of Accession of Spain 
and Portugal prices in Spain have been set at a level differing 
from that of the common prices; whereas pursuant to Article 
70 (1) of the Act these prices should be aligned with the 
common prices in annual steps at the beginning of each 
marketing year; whereas the rules on this alignment laid 
down give the Spanish prices set below,
