COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) N° 1341/90of 14 May  1990fixing the prices applicable to cereals for the 1990/91 marketing yearTHE  COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 89 thereof, Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) N° 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization  of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC)N° 1340/90 (2), and in particular  Article 3 (5) thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3), Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4), Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5), Whereas the markets and prices policy, based on modern farms, is the main instrument of the common  agricultural policy; whereas full advantage cannot be drawn from such a policy unless it is  integrated into an overall policy which includes a dynamic social and structural policy and the  application of the rules on competition contained in the Treaty; Whereas, in many cases, surpluses can no longer be disposed of on normal terms either inside or  outside the Community; whereas, in order to reduce the cost to the budget of disposing of surpluses  on markets of third countries and to encourage greater consumption within the Community, the  restrictive price policy should continue to be applied; whereas, given the further application of  the stabilizing mechanism indicated in Article 4b (3) of Regulation (EEC) N° 2727/75, this aim may  be achieved by maintaining for 1990/91 the intervention prices for common wheat, barley, rye, maize  and sorghum applied during the previous marketing year; Whereas, as part of a quality policy, production of common wheat of higher breadmaking quality and  production of rye of breadmaking quality should be supported; whereas, accordingly, the special  premiums should be continued for common wheat of breadmaking quality at the same level and should  be fixed for rye of breadmaking quality at a reduced level to take account of the ensuing reduction  in the intervention price provided for in Article 4b of Regulation (EEC) N° 2727/75; Whereas in 1986/87 the Council began a process of aligning the intervention price of durum wheat on  that of common wheat; whereas, in view of, on the one hand, the present ratio between the prices of  those cereals and, on the other, the imbalance recorded on the durum wheat market, it is advisable  to pursue that process; whereas, accordingly, the intervention price of durum wheat should be  further reduced; Whereas application of Article 68 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal has meant that  prices in Spain differ from the common prices; whereas, pursuant to Article 70 (1) of the Act of  Accession, Spanish prices should be aligned with common prices each year at the start of the  marketing year; whereas the common prices were applied in Spain during the preceding marketing year  for all cereals except durum wheat; whereas the rules for the alignment referred to above give the  Spanish intervention price for durum wheat indicated below, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1For the 1990/91 marketing year, the prices applicable in the cereals  sector shall be as indicated in the Annex hereto. Article 2This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in  the Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall apply from the beginning of the 1990/91 marketing year. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all  Member States. Done at Brussels, 14 May 1990.
