COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 487/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down general rules for the components intended to ensure protection of the processing industry in the cereals and rice sector and fixing those relating to Spain
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) thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Whereas, according to Article 78 of the Act of Accession, the amount of the component intended to ensure the protection of the processing industry in Spain as regards the products covered by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (2), and Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 of 21 June 1976 on the common organization of the market in rice (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (4), must be fixed in such a way as to separate out the component(s) intended to ensure the protection of the said industry as a separate entity within the protection component applied as of 1 January 1985 by Spain with respect to imports from third countries; Whereas imports into Spain of processed products have hitherto been subject to a State-controlled system of quantitative restrictions on imports varying according to requirements; whereas protection by means of a system of quantitative restrictions varying according to requirements must be considered as a more extensive form of protection than the Community system; whereas, according to the Act of Accession, protection may not exceed the level of the Community protection component; Whereas, in order to obtain a complete picture of the component intended to ensure protection of the processing industry in the context of the enlarged Community, the components intended to ensure protection of the industry of the Community of Ten and applicable to imports from Spain should be reproduced together with the components applicable by Spain, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
