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 of Accession  Spanish  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 

pr ices set  below; 

Whereas  it has proved  necessary  to reconsider  all  the problems  relating  to the 

fixing of prices  for  the  1990/91  marketing  year, which will  Involve delay  in the 

fixing of  these prices; whereas  It  Is therefore necessary  to fix  the guide price 

for dried  fodder  products, for which  the marketing  year  expires on 30 April 

1990, for  the period  1 to  \^  May  1990, 

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
