EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

Subject : Proposal  for a Council  Regulation  fixing  the  basic  and  the buying-
in  price  for  cauliflowers,  peaches,  nectarines,  lemons,  tomatoes 
and apricots  for June  1994 

A basic price and a buying-in price must be fixed  in accordance with Article 
16(1) of Council Regulation  (EEC) No  1035/72 for each of the products  listed 
in  Annex  II  to  the  said  Regulation  and  for  each  marketing  year.  This 
requirement  does  not  apply  only  during  the  slack  marketing  period  at  the 
beginning  and end of the marketing year. 

The .Council  has  not  as  yet  decided  on  the  basic  price  and  buying-in  price 
for these  fruit  and vegetables  (except  for cauliflower  prices  fixed  for the 
period  1 to 31 May  1994 by Regulation  (EC) No  969/94). 

To  ensure  the  continuity  of  prices  and  the  possibility  of  intervention  in 
the case of these products, the basic  price  and  the buying-in  price  for the 
month of June  1994 must be fixed pending  a decision on the  1994/95 marketing 
year. 

The  basic  price  and  the  buying-in  price  for  cauliflowers,  peaches, 
nectarines,  lemons  and  apricots  should  therefore  be  fixed  for  the  period 
between  1  and  30  June  1994  and  in  the  case  of  tomatoes  for  the  period 
between  11 and 30 June 1994. 

The  financial  impact  was - already  taken  into  account  last  January  in 
Volume II of the  1994/94 prices package.
