COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1230/89 of 3 May 1989 amending Regulation No 724/67/EEC laying down conditions for intervention in respect of oil seeds during the last two months of the marketing year and principles for the disposal of seeds bought in  by intervention agencies
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1225/89 (2), and in particular Article 26 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Whereas one of the purposes of Regulation No 724/67/EEC (4) is to prevent intervention agencies from being forced to buy in oil seeds from the new marketing year's crop at the more advantageous prices applicable in the last months of the old marketing  year in certain areas of the Community where the harvest may commence before the marketing year; whereas experience has shown that it is sufficient to limit the period concerned to the last month of the marketing year; whereas, under the present rules,  monthly increases are applied up to the second last month, inclusive, of the marketing year; whereas the terms of Article 1 of Regulation No 724/67/EEC are in their present form incompatible with the purpose of the abovementioned provision and must  therefore be amended;
Whereas the opportunity should also be seized to introduce the concept of the intervention buying-in price, as used in Article 26 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC,
