COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1357/91 of 24 May 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 Eurpean 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 Parliament (1),

Whereas, pursuant to 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, pursuant to Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1117/78, the aid provided for in paragraph 1 of that Article must be equal to a percetange 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 %;

Whereas, pursuant to 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 below;

Whereas it has proved necessary to reconsider all the problems relating 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,
