Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No . . . 
of . . . 
fixing prices for rice for the 1990/91 marketing year 
(90/C 49/12) 
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 Article 89 (1) thereof, 
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 Article 3 (3) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 
1418 / 76 of 21 June 1976 on the common organization of the 
market in rice(1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) 
No 1806/89 (2), provides that the intervention and target 
prices are to be fixed in accordance with the procedure laid 
down in Article 43 of the Treaty; 
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 account of the policy in respect of rice 
production, with a view to the uses to which it is put; 
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 various 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 levels 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, those 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 out below, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
For the 1990/91 marketing year, prices for rice shall be as 
follows: 
1. Community of Ten: 
(a) intervention price, 
paddy rice: ECU 314,19 per tonne; 
(b) target price, husked rice: ECU 546,88 per tonne. 
2. Spain: 
(a) intervention price, 
paddy rice: ECU 292,41 per tonne; 
(b) target price, husked rice: ECU 546,88 per tonne.

of . . . 
fixing the production aid for certain varieties of rice sown in the 1990/91 marketing year 
(90/C 49/14) 
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 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 Article 8a (3) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 
1418/76of21Junel976onthe common organization of the 
market in rice(1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) 
No 1806/89 (2), provides that the production aid for certain 
varieties of rice is to be fixed in accordance with the 
procedure laid down in Article 43 of the Treaty; 
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1423/88 (3) extends 
the application of Article 8a of Regulation (EEC) No 
1418/76 to Portugal, 
Whereas the objective of the production aid is to encourage 
varietal conversion of rice production to certain types of rice 
for which greater demand exists on the Community market; 
whereas the varieties for which demand exists normally have 
lower crop yields than those of the varieties that are 
traditionally grown; Whereas the production aid must be fixed at a level that, 
while reflecting the smaller return resulting from the lower 
yields of the varieties in question, will secure development of 
production in line with actual possibilities for disposal; 
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3878/87 (4), as 
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 823/89 (5), determines 
the areas of the Community in which the aid can be 
granted, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
The production aid for certain varieties of rice referred to in 
Article 8a of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 sown in the 
1990/91 marketing year shall, for the countries listed in 
Annex A to Regulation (EEC) No 3878 / 87, be ECU 200 per

Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No . . . 
of . .. 
extending the scope of the Community scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine 
animals 
(90/C 49/39) 
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 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 Council Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 (*) 
determines a Community scale for the classification of 
carcases of adult bovine animals; whereas Article 6 of that 
Regulation limits the application of the scale to the 
establishment of market prices and the application of 
intervention measures; 
Whereas progress made in the application of the scale and 
experience gained enable its extension to all carcases placed 
on the market to be contemplated; whereas, to that end, 
provision should be made for those products to be classified 
by approved slaughterhouses, which alone may market the 
latter throughout the Community in accordance with 
Council Directive 64/433/EEC of 26 June 1964 on health 
problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat (2), 
as last amended by Directive 88/657/EEC (3); 
Whereas producers should be informed of the classification 
of animals delivered for slaughter; whereas such as classification permits the price to be justified on the one hand 
and on the other hand is likely to lead to an improvement in 
quality and better upgrading of production, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
1. From 1 January 1991, all carcases or half-carcases 
from animals slaughtered in slaughterhouses approved under 
Article 8 of Directive 64/433/EEC and bearing a health 
mark as provided for in Article 3 of that Directive must be 
classified in accordance with the Community scale for the 
classification of carcases of adult bovine animals introduced 
by Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 and identified by 
marking. 
2. From the date referred to in paragraph 1, the results of 
classification must appear in statements forwarded by 
slaughterhouses to the suppliers of the animals. 
Article 2 
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day 
following its publication in the Official Journal of the

It shall apply from 1 January 1991.

and amending Directive 76/895/EEC as regards procedural rules (!) 
COM(90) 497 final 
(Submitted by the Commission pursuant to Article 149 (3) of the EEC Treaty on 12 October 1990) 
(90/C 275/06) 
In response to the opinion delivered by the European 
Parliament on the proposal for a Regulation submitted to 
the Council by the Commission on the fixing of 
maximum levels for pesticide residues in and on certain 
products of plant origin, including fruit and vegetables, 
and amending Directive 76/895/EEC as regards 
procedural rules, and in accordance with the third 
paragraph of Article 149 of the Treaty establishing the 
European Economic Community, the Commission has 
decided to amend the aforementioned proposal as 
follows. 
1. An eight recital is added: 
'Whereas the Community should therefore encourage 
the use of alternative, organic farming methods.' 
2. The 17th recital is replaced by the following text: 
'Whereas it is appropriate to apply this Regulation to 
products intended for export to third countries, 
except in certain cases where it can be established that 
importing countries require particular treatments 
which would necessitate higher maximum levels than 
those fixed for the Community pursuant to this Regu­
lation; whereas, however, it is not appropriate to 
apply this Regulation to products intended for the 
manufacture of products other than foodstuffs and 
feedingstuffs, or for sowing or planting.' 
3. In Article 1, the following two paragraphs replace 
paragraph 3: '3. This Regulation shall apply to products referred 
to in paragraph 1 intended for export to third 
countries, save that maximum pesticide residue levels 
set in accordance with this Regulation shall not apply 
in the case of products treated before export where it 
can be satisfactorily proved that: 
(a) the third country of destination requires that 
particular treatment in order to prevent the intro­
duction of harmful organisms into its territory; or 
(b) the treatment is necessary in order to protect the 
products against harmful organisms during 
transport to the third country of destination and 
storage there. 
4. This Regulation shall not apply to the products 
referred to in paragraph 1 where it can be established 
by appropriate evidence that they are intended for: 
(a) the manufacture of products other than foodstuffs 
and animal feedingstuffs; 
(b) sowing or planting.' 
4. Article 3 (2) is replaced by the following text: 
'2. Member States shall ensure, at least by regular 
check sampling, compliance with the maximum levels 
referred to in paragraph 1. The necessary inspections 
shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions 
of Directive 89/397/EEC and in particular Article 4
