of 30 April 1987

laying down precautionary measures in the fruit and vegetables sector, with respect to cauliflowers

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 5 and 155 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1351/86 (2),

Whereas, pursuant to Article 16 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, a basic price and a buying-in price must be fixed for each marketing year for each of the products listed in Annex II to the said Regulation; whereas the products in question, harvested in a given production year, are marketed, as regards cauliflowers, from May to April of the following year; whereas, in the particular case of cauliflowers, the Council has not yet adopted the basic price and the buying-in price applicable from 1 May 1987; whereas the Commission, in virtue of the powers conferred on it by the Treaty, must take the necessary precautionary measures to ensure that the common agricultural policy continues to operate in the fruit and vegetables sector in question; whereas these measures are adopted as a precaution and without prejudice to the Council's price decisions for 1987/88;

Whereas, under these precautionary measures, the continuity of the intervention arrangements provided for in Articles 15 and 19 of the abovementioned Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 must be ensured; whereas, for those purposes, the amounts to be used in calculating the prices at which the abovementioned intervention operations take place should be fixed for May 1987; whereas the amounts to be used correspond to the basic and buying-in prices fixed for the 1986/87 marketing year but adapted to trimmed cauliflowers of quality grade I;

Whereas Spain during the first phase and Portugal during the first stage are authorized to maintain, in the fruit and vegetables sector, the rules in force under the previous national arrangements for the organization of their domestic agricultural markets, under the conditions laid down in Articles 133 to 135 and 262 to 265, respectively, of the Act of Accession; whereas, therefore, the amounts fixed in this Regulation are applicable only in the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
