                          Proposal for a
                COUNCIL REGULATION (EC)

Subject:    Draft Council Regulation fixing the basic and buying-in prices for cauliflowers,
            peaches, nectarines, apricots, lemons and tomatoes for June 1996
Under Article 16(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, a basic price and a buying-in
price must be fixed for each of the products listed in Annex II to that Regulation for each
marketing year. Only slack marketing periods at the beginning and at the end of the marketing
year are to be disregarded.
The Council has not yet, however, decided on the basic and buying-in prices for the products
in question for the 1996/97 marketing year and interim protective measures were adopted by
the Commission by means of Regulation (EC) No ..../96 to fix the prices for cauliflowers for
the period 1 to 31 May 1996.
In order to ensure continuity of prices and the possibility of intervention measures, pending
a decision for the 1996/97 marketing year, the basic price and buying-in prices for
cauliflowers, peaches, nectarines, apricots, lemons and tomatoes should be fixed for the period
1 to 30 June 1996.
The financial consequences were taken into consideration in January in Volume II of the
1996/97 price package.
