                                       Proposal for a
                                  COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
                       fixing a basic and a buying-in price for apples
                                         for June 1993

 ---pagebreak---                             EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
As part of the 1992/93 price package, the Council fixed the basic and
buying-in prices for applies for the period from 1 August to 31 May 1993.
Under the basic regulation for fruit and vegetables (Regulation (EEC) No
1035/72), the marketing year runs from 1 July to 30 June of the following
year.   It is therefore possible to fix a price for June also if the market
situation so requires.
This is the purpose of this proposal.   Apple stocks in the Community are
appreciably higher this year than in recent years and substantial quantities
of apples are likely to be withdrawn from the market before the end of
May 1993.   In order to remedy this situation, a basic and a buying-in price
must be fixed for June 1993.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the
common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables1, as last amended

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, basic and
buying-in prices were fixed for apples other than cider apples for the
period from 1 August 1992 to 31 May 1993;
Whereas stocks of apples are currently substantially larger than in previous

be withdrawn from the market before the end of May 1993; whereas, in order
