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. 

Proposal  for  a 

COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EEC) No 

/91 

of 

1991 

fixing  the guide  price  for  dried  fodder  products 
for  the  period  27 May  to  16 June  1991 

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  Par Iiament^1), 

Whereas, under  Article  4 of  Council  Regulation  (EEC) No  1117/78 of  22 May  1978 
on  the  common  organization  of  the market  in dried  fodder<2),  as  last  amended  by 
Regulation  (EEC) No  2275/89( 3 ),  a guide  price must  be  set  for  certain  dried 

fodder  products; whereas  this  price must  be set  for  a standard  quality; 

Whereas, under  Article  5  (2) of  Regulation  (EEC) No  1117/78,  the  aid  provided 

for  in paragraph  1 of  that  Article  must  be equal  to a percentage  of  the 

difference  between  the guide  price  and  the  average  world  market  price  for  the 

products  in question;  whereas,  in view of  the characteristics of  the market  in 

question,  the percentage  should  be  set  at 80%; 

(1) Opinion  delivered  on  16.3.1990. 
(2) OJ  No L  142, 30.5.1978, p.  1. 
(3) OJ  No L 218, 24.7.1989,  p.  1. 

Whereas  under  Article  68 of  the Act  of  Accession  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  the Spanish  price  should  be  aligned  with  the 

common  price  in annual  steps  at  the  beginning  of  each marketing  year;  whereas 

the  rules  laid  down on  this alignment  give  the Spanish  price  set  be 

OW; 

Whereas  it has proved  necessary  to reconsider  all  the problems  re I a 

ing  to  the 

fixing of  prices  for  the  1991/92 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  provisionally  for  the period  27 May  to  16 

June  1991, 

HAS ADOPTED  THIS  REGULATION:

and  third  indents of  Article  1  (b) of  that  Regulation  shall  be  provisionally:
