whereas, in addition, the 1986/87 milk year has been caried forward until 30 June; whereas the Council has not, to date, adopted the prices for the 1987/88 marketing years for a large number of agricultural products; whereas the Commission, in compliance with the tasks entrusted to it by the Treaty, is obliged to adopt the precautionary measures essential to ensure continuity of operation of the common agricultural policy; whereas, pending the decisions to be taken imminently by the Council or, failing this, by the Commission for the new 1987/88 marketing years, these measures are taken as a precaution and are without prejudice to the said decisions;  Whereas these short-term precautionary measures should be aimed at retaining on a provisional basis, from 1 July 1987 and at the level of 30 June 1987;  - the import levies for milk and milk products,  - the accession compensatory amounts,  - the aids for colza and rape seeds, dried fodder, peas, field beans and sweet lupins,  - the production refunds for sugar;  Whereas, however, as regards cereals and sugar, the import levies should be determined as from 1 July on the basis of the threshold prices valid on 30 June;  Whereas provisions should also be made to retain as from 1 July the intervention buying-in prices for skimmed-milk powder, sugar and colza and rape seeds and to retain the minimum prices for peas, field beans and sweet lupins;  Whereas the co-responsibility levies for milk and milk products and for cereals are one of the key factors in ensuring balance on the markets concerned; whereas they should be retained at the levels applicable on 30 June;  Whereas the Commission has already been obliged, pending a decision by the Council, to lay down as a precautionary measure, by Regulations (EEC) No 1213/87 (1) and (EEC) No 1503/87 (2), a number of prices in the fruit and vegetable sector in order to ensure the continuity of the intervention arrangements for those products in respect of which the period of application of the basic and buying-in prices began in May and June; whereas the prices applicable from 1 July for the products in question should be fixed along the same lines;  Whereas, pending the fixing of the prices for the 1987/88 marketing year, the measures necessary to avoid speculative trading and market disturbance should be adopted; whereas this aim can be met by suspending the possibility of advance fixing of the import levies, export refunds and certain of the aids referred to above;  Whereas it should be stressed that the amounts set out in this Regulation will be adjusted, where appropriate, with effect from 1 July, on the basis of the decisions adopted in respect of the prices for the 1987/88 marketing year; whereas, likewise, the attention of traders should be drawn to the fact that the monetary compensatory amounts applicable will be adjusted, where appropriate, with effect form 1 July, on the basis of the decisions adopted in respect of prices and the representative rates,  HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:  Article 1  1.
