As the prices for the agricultural products and certain related measures
for the 1991/92 marketing year have not yet been decided by the Council,
the Commission proposes that the Council decide, for the period 27 May to
16 June 1991:
    to extend the marketing years for milk and beef/veal,
    to fix provisionally the buying-in and basic prices for cauliflowers,
    peaches, nectarines, apricots, lemons and tomatoes and the guide price
    for dried fodder in accordance with the Commission's proposals.
Those Regulations are to enter into force on ,27 May 1991 in order to avoid
a legal vacuum.

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1081/91 of 26 April 1991 laying down
precautionary measures for fruit and vegetables as regards cauliflowers for the
period 1 May to 26 May 1991* 3 ) fixes the prices at which the intervention
operations provided for In Articles 15 and 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 ar@
to be carried out during the period in question;
Whereas, in order to ensure the continuity of cauliflower prices, It is therefore
necessary to fix the basic price and the buying-in pries for this product for the
period 27 May to 16 June 1991, pending a decision for the 1991/92 marketing year;
Whereas the application of Articles 148(1) and 285(1) of the Act of Accession to
Spain and Portugal respectively results in price levels differing from thoso of
the common prices; whereas, pursuant to Articles 149 and 285 of the said Act, the
Spanish and Portuguese prices should be aligned on the common prices at the
beginning of the marketing year; whereas the criteria laid down for that
alignment result in the basic price and the buying-in price applicable in those
two Member states being fixed at the levels given below,
