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.

                                    of            1991
                fixing the guide price for dried fodder products
                      for the period 27 May to 16 June 1991
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
Article 89(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par Iiament^ 1 ),
Whereas, under Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1117/78 of 22 May 1978
on the common organization of the market in dried fodder< 2 ), as last amended by
Regulation (EEC) No 2275/89 ( 3 ) , a guide price must be set for certain dried
fodder products; whereas this price must be set for a standard quality;
Whereas, under Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1117/78, the aid provided
for in paragraph 1 of that Article must be equal to a percentage of the
difference between the guide price and the average world market price for the
products in question; whereas, in view of the characteristics of the market in
question, the percentage should be set at 80%;

(2) OJ No L 142, 30.5.1978, p. 1.
(3) OJ No L 218, 24.7.1989, p. 1.
 ---pagebreak--- Whereas under Article 68 of the Act of Accession prices in Spain have been set
at a level differing from that of the common prices; whereas pursuant to Article
70(1) of the Act of Accession the Spanish price should be aligned with the
common price in annual steps at the beginning of each marketing year; whereas
the rules laid down on this alignment give the Spanish price set be OW;
Whereas it has proved necessary to reconsider all the problems re I a ing to the
fixing of prices for the 1991/92 marketing year, which will involve delay in the
fixing of these prices; whereas it is therefore necessary to fix the guide price
for dried fodder products provisionally for the period 27 May to 16 June 1991,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
                                    Article 1
Notwithstanding Article 4(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1117/78, for the period 27
May to 16 June 1991 the guide price for the products referred to in the first
and third indents of Article 1 (b) of that Regulation shall be provisionally:
    ECU 174,30/t  for Spain,
    ECU 178,61/t for the other Member States.
This price shall be for a product with:
    a moisture content of 11%,
    a total gross protein content of 18% of the dry weight.
                                    Article 2
For the period 27 May to 16 June 1991 the percentage to be used to calculate the
aid referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1117/78 shall be 80% for the
products referred to in the first and third indents of Article 1 (b) and (c) of
the said Regulation.
