COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1378/92 of 21 May 1992 fixing, for the 1992/93 marketing year, certain prices and other amounts applicable in the fruit and vegetables sector
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 89 (1) and Article 234 (2) 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), and in particular Article 16 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2511/69 of 9 December 1969 laying down special measures for improving the production and marketing of Community citrus fruit (2), and in particular Article 7 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5),
Whereas, pursuant to Article 16 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, a basic price and a buying-in price are to be fixed for each marketing year for each of the products listed in Annex II to the said Regulation; whereas, in accordance with Article 1 (3) of the above Regulation, the marketing years for the products in question are as follows:
- for tomatoes and aubergines, from 1 January to 31 December,
- for apricots, from 1 May to 31 August,
- for peaches and nectarines, from 1 May to 31 October,
- for cauliflowers and table grapes, from 1 May to 30 April,

- for apples, from 1 July to 30 June,
- for mandarins, satsumas and clementines, from 1 October to 15 May,
- for oranges, from 1 October to 15 July;
Whereas, however, pursuant to the third subparagraph of Article 16 (1) of Regulation (CEE) No 1035/72, no basic price or buying-in price need be fixed for the slack marketing periods at the beginning and at the end of the marketing year;
Whereas, when the basic prices and buying-in prices for fruit and vegetables are fixed, account should be taken of the aims of the common agricultural policy; whereas the objectives of the common agricultural policy are, in particular, to ensure a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, to assure the availability of supplies and to ensure that supplies reach consumers at reasonable prices;
Whereas the basic prices must be fixed by reference to the trend in the average prices recorded during the three preceding years on the most representative producer markets within the Community for a product with defined commercial characteristics, such as a variety or type, quality class, size and packaging; whereas the buying-in prices must be fixed by reference to the basic price in accordance with Article 16 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72;
Whereas Article 148 (1) of the Act of Accession results in a price level in Spain differing from that of the common prices; whereas, pursuant to Article 149 of the Soil Act, the Spanish prices should be aligned more closely on the common prices each year at the beginning of each marketing year; whereas the criteria laid down for this alignment give the Spanish prices fixed at the levels set out below;
Whereas Article 285 (1) of the Act of Accession resulted in the fixing of a price level in Portugal for certain products that differs from that of the common prices at the beginning of the second stage of accession; whereas, pursuant to Article 285 (2) of the Act of Accession, the Portuguese prices should be aligned more closely on the common prices each year at the beginning of each marketing year; whereas the rules laid down for this alignment give the Portuguese prices fixed at the levels set out hereinafter;
Whereas the amount of the financial compensation for oranges and mandarins must be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2511/69,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
