cauliflowers, peaches, nectarines, lemons, tomatoes, 
apricots, pears and aubergines  for July  1994

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

A  basic  price  and  a  buylng-ln  price must  be  fl*ed, under  Article  16(1) of 
Council  Regulation  (EEC)  No  1035/72,  for  each  of  the  products  listed  in 
Annex  II  to  the  said  Regulation  for  each  marketing  year.  Only  the  slack 
marketing  periods  at  the  beginning  and  end  of  the  marketing  year  are 
exempted  from  this requirement. 

To date, the Council  has not  decided on  the basic price and  buying-in  price 
for  the  fruit  and  vegetables  in  question  (except  for  the  price  for 
cauliflowers  fixed  for  the  period  1  to  31  May  1994  by  Regulation  (EC) 
No 969/94  and  the  prices  for  cauliflowers,  peaches,  nectarines,  lemons, 
tomatoes and apricots fixed  for June 1994 by Regulation  (EC) No  1234/94). 

To ensure price continuity  and  the possibility of  intervention  in respect of 
these products,  it  Is necessary  to fix  their basic price and buying-in price 
for  July  1994 pending a decision  for  the 1994/95 marketing year. 

The  basic  price  and  buying-in  price  for  cauliflowers,  peaches, nectarines, 
lemons, tomatoes, apricots, pears and aubergines should accordingly  be fixed 
for  the period  1 to 31 July 1994. 

The financial  consequences were  taken  Into account  last January  In volume II 
of  the 1994/95 price package.
