Proposal  for a 

COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EEC) 

fixing a basic and a buying-in price for apples 

for June  1993 

(presented by  the Commission) 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

As part of  the 1992/93 price package, the Council  fixed  the basic and 

buying-in prices for applies for  the period  from  1 August  to 31 May  1993. 

Under  the basic  regulation  for  fruit  and vegetables  (Regulation  (EEC) No 

1035/72),  the marketing  year  runs  from  1 July  to 30 June of  the following 

year.  It  is therefore  possible  to fix a price for  June also  if the market 

situation so requires. 

This  is the purpose of  this proposal.  Apple  stocks  in the Community  are 

appreciably  higher  this year  than  in recent  years and substantial  quantities 

of apples are  likely  to be withdrawn  from  the market  before  the end of 

May  1993.  In order  to remedy  this situation, a basic and a buying-in price 

must  be fixed  for  June 1993.

Of 

f i x i ng a basic and a buying-in pr ice for appIes

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES. 

Having regard  to the Treaty estabIishing the European Economic Community, 

Having regard  to Council  Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of  18 May  1972 on the 

common organization of  the market  in fruit and vegetables1, as  last amended 

by Regulation  (EEC) No 638/932, and  in particular  Article 35 thereof, 

Having regard  to the proposal  from the Commission, 

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

buying-in prices were  fixed  for apples other  than cider  apples  for  the 

period  from  1 August  1992 to 31 May 1993; 

Whereas stocks of apples are currently substantially  larger  than  in previous 

years; whereas, therefore, considerable quantities of apples are  likely to 

be withdrawn from  the market  before  the end of May  1993; whereas,  in order 

to remedy  this situation, a basic and a buying-in price should be  fixed for 

June  1993; 

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
