Draft x    Project    fixing the "basic price and buying-in price for apples
         for the month of June 1974 •
         At the meeting of the Council of Ministers of Agriculture on 29 and
 30 April 1974 the French delegation requested that the period of application
of the basic price and the buying-in price for apples, be extended by one month .
         This draft Regulation , which takes account of that request , is based
 on Article 35 of Regulation (EEC ) No 1035/72 which provides that the Council ,
 acting on a proposal from the Commission , may take , for any of the products
listed in the Annexes to that Regulation , measures in derogation therefrom#
         The stocks of apples held on 1 April 1974 were greater than the stocks
which existed in the Community on the same date in previous marketing years ,
 as is shown in the following table :
            Stocks of apples in the Community on 1 April 1974 compared
                            to stocks on 1 April 1972 and 1 April 1973             -tonnes )

 ---pagebreak---              If marketing continues normally, these stocks should reach
 600.000 tonnes on 1 May 1974, an inorease of 76# and 26% respectively over
 1 Kay 1973 and 1 Kay 1972 .                  ■   *
             Such a rate of increase is likely to lead to the withdrawal of
 considerable quantities of apples from the market before the end of May I974,
 since producers will not wish to run the risk of marketing these products
 in June , a month for which no intervention price is fixed. This situation
may "be avoided "by fixing a basic price and a buying-in price for June,
            The purpose of this draft Regulation is to extend to the month of
June the validity of tho price fixed for April and May, which is a normal
end-of–year price .
FIHMCIAL ASPECTS
            As has already been pointed outj the extension of the intervention
period will help to avoid massive withdrawals of apples from the market in
Ma3r* This . wil1 ®°an less expenditure for the EAGGF, since part of the . stocks ,
which would otherwise be withdrawn from the market , will now be marketed.
            It should be noted that withdrawal from the market would entail
expenditure of approximately 77 units of accounts per tonne of apples .
