EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
As the prices for the agricultural products and certain related measures 
for the 1991/92 marketing year have not yet been decided by the Council, 
the Commission proposes that the Council decide, for the period 27 May to 
16 June 1991 : 
to extend the marketing years for milk and beef/veal, 
to fix provisionally the buying-in and basic prices for cauliflowers, 
peaches, nectarines, apricots, lemons and tomatoes and the guide price 
for dried fodder in accordance with the Commission's proposals. 
Those Regulations are to enter into force on 27 May 1991 in order to avoid 
a legal vacuum.

products in question; whereas, in view of the characteristics of the market in 
question, the percentage should be set at 80%;
