Proposal  for  a 

COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EC) 

fixing the basic and buying-in prices for cauliflowers, 
peaches, apricots, nectarines, lemons and tomatoes 
for June 1996 

(presented  by  the  Commission) 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

Subject:  Draft  Council Regulation fixing  the basic and buying-in prices  for  cauliflowers, 

peaches, nectarines, apricots, lemons and tomatoes for  June  1996 

Under Article  16(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No  1035/72, a basic price and a buying-in 
price  must be fixed for  each of  the products  listed  in Annex II to that  Regulation  for  each 
marketing year. Only slack marketing periods at the beginning and at the end of the marketing 
year  are to be disregarded. 

The Council has not yet, however, decided on the basic and buying-in prices for the products 
in question for the  1996/97 marketing year and interim protective measures were adopted by 
the Commission by means of Regulation (EC) No ..../96 to fix the prices for cauliflowers  for 
the period  1 to  31 May  1996. 

In order to ensure continuity  of prices and the possibility of intervention measures, pending 
a  decision  for  the  1996/97  marketing  year,  the  basic  price  and  buying-in  prices  for 
cauliflowers, peaches, nectarines, apricots, lemons and tomatoes should be fixed for the period 
1 to 30 June  1996. 

The  financial  consequences  were  taken  into  consideration  in  January  in  Volume  II  of  the 
1996/97 price package.
