EC MINISTERS EXTEND BEEF, MILK MARKETING YEARS European Community agriculture ministers agreed to extend the 1986/87 milk and beef marketing years to the end of May, Belgian minister Paul de Keersmaeker told a news conference. He said the reason for the two-month extension of the only EC farm product marketing years which end during the spring months was that it would be impossible for ministers formally to agree 1987/88 farm price arrangements before May 12. This is when the European Parliament is due to deliver its opinion on price proposals from the EC Commission.
