THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
and in particular Article 43 thereof ,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal , and in particular
Articles 89(2 ) and 234(3 ) thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (^),
Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament ( 2 ),
Where as Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1035/72 ( 3 ), as last amended by 'figuration
( EEC ) No 2275/87 ( 4 ), provi des for a system of prices and intervention f or a
number of products in the fruit and vegetables sector ;
Whereas producers of clementines , satsumas , mandarins and nectarines should be
made aware of the real needs of the market in these products ; whereas this
should be achieved , where appropriate , by defining intervention volumes or
thresholds beyond which financial liability should be borne by producers ;
Whereas , the consequence of the liability of the producers
                    must be that , whenever intervention exceeds the thresholds ,
the basic and buying-in prices ( for t.hose products ) for the following
marketing year are reduced ;
Whereas the threshold for each product may be expressed as a percentage of
the average quantities produced and intended for consumption as fresh fruit
ov . r the last five marketing years for which production figures are
available ; whereas , in the case of mandarins , withdrawals of which already
represent a high percentage of production , provision must be made for a
degressive percentage coupled with measures to ensure the progressive
adjustment of producers to the new situation ;

 ---pagebreak--- Whereas , during the first stage of accession , known as the verification of
convergence stage , the Spanish market in the products concerned is not
integrated into the market of the Community of Ten and Spain fixes
institutional prices in accordance with a price discipline defined in
Article 135 of the Act of Accession , whereby price increases may not exceed
in value the increase in common prices ; whereas , by reason of this special
situation of the market in Spain , the reduction of common prices under the
abovementioned measures must not affect the level at which prices are fixed
in Spain ;
Whereas , insofar as intervention operations are carried out for nectarines ,
satsumas , clementines and mandarins in Spain and involve Community financing
in accordance with Article 133(3 ) of the Act of Accession , a quantity of
nectarines , satsumas , clementines and mandarins should be fixed which , if
exceeded , will result in a reduction in prices in Spain for the following
marketing year ;
Whereas , in view of the special provisions of the Act of Accession , and in
particular Article 265 thereof , no similar measures need be applied in
respect of Portugal during the first stage of transition ;
Whereas satsumas , clementines and nectarines are of particular importance for
the income of certain categories of producers ; whereas , therefore , these
products should also be included in the prices and intervention system ,

      marketing years in accordance with the criteria laid down in paragraph 2 and 3
      of artikel 16 .,
2 . The intervention thresholds for satsumas , clementines and nectarines

3 . Where , in the case of Spain , intervention operations are carried
     out during the verification of convergence stage in aiccrdance with
     the provisions applicable , the Council , acting by a qnalifec
     majority on a proposal fr'om the Comnission , shall fix a maximum

4 . The reduction in the prices to be applied in the Community as
     constituted on 31 December 1985 provided for in the fi.rst
     subparagraph of paragraph 3a shall not be taken into c-onsideration
