COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
                                              COM(91)153  final
                                              Brussels,23  April 1991
                                Proposal for a
                           COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
extending for the second time the 1990/91 marketing year in the milk and beef
                               and veal sectors
                         (presented by the Commission)
 ---pagebreak---                    EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. By Council Regulation (EEC) No 750/91 of 26 March 1991, the
   1990/91 marketing year for milk and beef and veal was
   extended to 28 April 1991.
   As the Council cannot state its position on the Commission
   proposals before 28 April 1991, provision should be made
   for a Council decision extending once more the marketing
   year for the two sectors concerned.
   While this does permit the continuation of the arrangements
   to which the Commission has proposed substantial amendments
   pursuant to Decision 88/337/EEC on budgetary discipline,
   the need to ensure that the CAP functions does not permit
   any other solution in the circumstances.
2. Furthermore, the Commission notes that the European
   Parliament has not delivered its opinion on these
   proposals. Accordingly the Council is unable to decide on
   the buying-in and basic prices for fruit and vegetables and
   the guide price for dried fodder, where the marketing years
   begin on 1 May. Under these circumstances the Commission
   hereby informs the Council that it will have to take the
   necessary precautionary measures as in 1988 on the basis of
   Articles 5 and 155 of the EEC Treaty and in aooordance
   with its proposals to the Council ; in the case in point
   these Involve the fixing of the basic and buying-ln prices
   for cauliflowers and the aid for dried fodder.
   These two measures must be adopted by the Commission before
   1 May 1991, subject to subsequent decisions of the Council.
