THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 42, 43 and 44 thereof;

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;

Whereas Council Regulations Nos 19 to 23, 25 and 26 relating to the common agricultural policy and the Council Decision on minimum prices lay down that most of their provisions shall be applicable from 1 July 1962;

Whereas the Member States should be allowed a reasonable period to permit effective application of the above instruments and of the implementing provisions adopted by the Council or the Commission, some of which could not be adopted until shortly before 1 July 1962;
