COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 743/93 of 17 March 1993 on the list of products subject to the supplementary trade mechanism as regards consignment to Portugal
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 234 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the achievement of the Single Market requires the removal of all barriers to trade not only between the Member States of the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 but also to the greatest possible extent between those Member States and Spain and Portugal; whereas, to that end, the supplementary trade mechanism must be abolished in all cases where it is not absolutely necessary;

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3659/90 of 11 December 1990 on products subject to the supplementary trade mechanism during the second stage of Portuguese accession (2), sets out the list of products subject to transition by stages to which the STM applies; whereas experience indicates that maintaining that mechanism is essential to balance on the Portuguese market only in the case of those products covered by this Regulation;
Whereas given these facts a new list of products consigned to Portugal and subject to the mechanism in question should be drawn up and Regulation (EEC) No 3659/90 to be repealed,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 200/97 of 31 January 1997 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92 laying down detailed rules for the application of premium schemes in the beef and veal sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2222/96 of 18 November 1996, amending Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas, on the Community market for veal, traditionally most carcases have been sold at a weight above 120 kilograms; whereas in order to get access to the early marketing premium provided for in Article 4 (i) (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2222/96, and in Section 2 of Chapter V of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92 of 23 December 1992 laying down detailed rules for the application of the premium schemes provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 on the common organization of the market in beef and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 1244/82 and (EEC) No 714/89 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 18/97 (4), veal carcases produced in some Member States will have to be sold at a weight below 120 kilograms; whereas due to this unusual presentation of the veal product on the market temporary difficulties may be anticipated leading to relatively higher costs of disposal for such light carcases; whereas on that background and in order for the early marketing premium to have the desired effect on the beef market a supplementary amount should be granted on those carcases as a transitional measure in accordance with Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2222/96; whereas in that framework it is appropriate to provide for a differentiation of the supplement with reference to certain weight groups; whereas regulation (EEC) No 3886/92 should be amended accordingly;
