                            Proposal for a
                       COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
  fixing the basic and buylng-ln prices for certain fruit and vegetables
        to be applied In Spain from 1 January 1990 until the end of
                       the 1989/1990 marketing year

 ---pagebreak---                               EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Subject : Proposal for a Council Regulation fixing the basic and buying-In
           prices for certain fruit and vegetables to be applied in Spain from 1
           January 1990 until the end of the 1989/90 marketing year.
The second phase of the specific transitional arrangements   provided for, in
respect of fruit and vegetables, In the Act of Accession of Spain begins on 1
January 1990.
Article 148 of the Act of Accession provides that from 1 January 1990 and until
the end cf the 1989/90 marketing year, the basic and buylng-ln prices for fruit
and vegetables to be applied In Spain are to be fixed by the Council In
accordance with the rules iald down In Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72
at the level of the prices fixed in Spain at the end of the first phase and
subject to observance of the price discipline provided for In Article 135 of the
Act of Accession.
The purpose of this proposal is to fix the basic and buylng-ln prices for
cauliflowers, lemons, pears, apples, mandarins, satsumas, clémentines and sweet
oranges for the period from 1 January 1990 until the end of the 1989/90
marketing year for each of those products.
The prices are fixed on the basis of those adopted by the Spanish authorities
for the beginning of the 1989/90 marketing year.   The Commission has been able
to ascertain that the price discipline provided for in Article 135 of the Act of
Accession has been observed.   The Spanish authorities have not passed on to the
prices applied in Spain the fail In the common prices for lemons, mandarins and
oranges that has occurred since the 1986/87 marketing year.   The outcome Is that
for those products, the gap between the common prices and the Spanish prices has
been reduced during the first phase of Accession.
 It is proposed that the Council adopt the attached proposal for a Regulation
which must enter into force on 1 January 1990.
