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

COUNCIL REGULATION  (EEC) No 

/91 

Of 

fixing  the basic price and  the buying-In price  for  tomatoes 
for  the period  11 June to 16 June 1991 

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES, 

Having  regard  to the Treaty establishing  the European  Economic  Community, 

Having  regard  to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and  in particular 

Articles 89(1) and  234(2) thereof, 

Having  regard  to Council  Regulation  (EEC) No 1035/72 of  18 May  1972 on  the common 
organization of  the market  in fruit  and  vegetables*1), as  last  amended by 
Regulation  (EEC) No 3920/90<2>, and  in particular  Article  16(1) thereof, 

Having  regard  to the proposal  from  the Commission, 

Having  regard  to the opinion of  the European  Parliament, 

Whereas, pursuant  to Article  16(1) of Regulation  (EEC) No 1035/72, a basic price 

and  a buying-in price are  to be fixed  for each marketing  year  for each of  the 

products  listed  in Annex  II to the said Regulation; whereas  tomatoes harvested  in 

a given growing  season are marketed  from January  to December  of each year; 

whereas, however,  in accordance with  the third subparagraph of Article  16(1) of 

Regulation  (EEC) No 1035/72, no basic price or buying-in price should be fixed 

during  the slack marketing period at  the beginning of  the marketing year;

Whereas,  in order  to ensure  that  intervention  Is possible  for  tomatoes  from 

11 June  1991,  It  is necessary  to fix  the basic price and  the buying-in price for 

this product  for  the period  11  June  to 16 June  1991, pending  a decision  for  the 

1991/92 marketing  year; 

Whereas  the application  of Articles  148(1) and  285(1) of  the Act  of Accession  to 

Spain and  Portugal  respectively  results  in price  levels differing  from  those of 

the common  prices; whereas, pursuant  to Articles 149 and  285 of  the said Act, the 

Spanish  and  Portuguese  prices should  be aligned  on  the common  prices  at  the 

beginning  of  the marketing  year; whereas  the criteria  laid down  for  that 

alignment  result  in the basic price and  the buying-in price applicable  in those 

two Member  States being  fixed at  the  levels given  below, 

HAS ADOPTED  THIS REGULATION: 

Article 1 

For  the period  11  June  to 16 June  1991, the basic  price  and  the buying-in  price 

for  tomatoes, expressed  in ecus per  100 kilograms  net, shall  be as  follows: 

basic  price:  17,63  in Spain, 23,99  in Portugal  and  28,41  in the 

other  Member  States, 

buying-in  price: 6,70  in Spain, 9,12  in Portugal  and  10,80  in 

the other  Member  States. 

These  prices  refer  to packed  "round" and  "ribbed"  tomatoes of  quality  class  I, 

size  57 to 67 millimetres. 

These prices do not  take account  of  the cost  of  the packaging  in which  the 

product  is put  up.
