                                       C0MC89) 168 final

                             Proposal for a
                        COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
      fixing an intervention threshold for oranges in Spain for
                      the 1988/89 marketing year
                     (presented by the Commission)
 ---pagebreak---                            EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Artic'e I6b(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 on the common organization of
the market In fruit and vegetables Introduces a system of stabilizers in
the form of Intervention thresholds In excess of which financial liability
is to be borne by producers for products subject to the intervention
arrangements.
For Spain, during the verification of convergence phase referred to in
Article 131 of the Act of Accession, where a threshold is fixed for a given
product in the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985 and that
product is bought in In Spain, the Council is to fix for Spain an
 intervention threshold in excess of which liability is to be borne by the
producers.
An intervention threshold has been fixed for oranges for the Community as
constituted at 31 December 1985 by Regulation (EEC) No 2240/88< 1) .
As oranges have been withdrawn In Spain during the 1988/89 marketing year,
the aim of this proposal for a Regulation Is to fix an intervention
 threshold for that product In Spain. The same criteria haye been used to
 fix that threshold as for those for the Community of Ten.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing 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 vegetables^ 1 ), as last
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 789/89-(2) t and In particular Article
No I6b(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2240/88 of 19 July 1988 laying down,
for peaches, lemons and oranges, the rules for applying Article 16b of
Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 on the common organization of the market in
fruit and vegetables^3) fixes an intervention threshold for oranges for
the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985;
Whereas oranges have been bought in In Spain during the 1988/1989 marketing
year; whereas an intervention threshold shouid therefore also be fixed for
that product in Spain;

     The Commission shall adopt the intervention threshold provided for In
     paragraph 1 in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 33 of
     Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72.
                                  Article 2
Where quantities of oranges offered for intervention in Spain in the
 1988/89 marketing year exceed the threshold laid down In Article 1, the
 institutional prices applying In Spain for the 1989/1990 marketing year
shall be reduced by 1% for each 18 100 tonnes by which that threshold Is
exceeded.
