COMMISSION DECISION
of 2 April 1986
establishing the delivery levels of ECSC steel products of Spanish origin onto the rest of the common market, excluding Portugal
(Only the Spanish text is authentic)
(86/184/ECSC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Protocol 10 thereof,
Having received the assent of the Council,
Whereas Protocol 10, which covers the restructuring of the Spanish iron and steel industry, and the Joint Declaration on the Spanish iron and steel industry provide that deliveries of ECSC steel products of Spanish origin onto the Community market will be the subject of quantitative limits in 1986;
Whereas, at the date of accession, there was no agreement between the Commission and the Spanish Government on the level of these aforementioned deliveries;
Whereas pursuant to the first subparagraph of paragraph 6 (a) of Protocol 10, it falls upon the Commission, with the assent of the Council, to establish the level of these deliveries;
Whereas, by the terms of the first subparagraph of paragraph 3 (a) of the said Joint Declaration, the level of the deliveries must be compatible with the objectives of the restructuring of the Spanish steel industry and with the forecasts used to calculate the evolution of the Community market;
Whereas no significant changes are forecast for the Community market for 1986 in comparison with 1985, and in particular several important aspects of the internal anti-crisis measures will remain;
Whereas, therefore, the Spanish deliveries to the rest of the Community, excluding Portugal, should not register a significant increase in 1986 in comparison with that level agreed between the Commission and Spain for 1985;
Whereas, nevertheless, it is desirable to retain the principle of the maintenance of traditional trade flows between Spain and the rest of the Community, excluding Portugal, interpreted on the basis of Spanish deliveries made during the reference years used in the framework of steel industry relations between the Community and Spain prior to the accession of the latter,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Deliveries of ECSC steel products of Spanish origin onto the rest of the Community market, excluding Portugal, may not exceed 850 000 tonnes.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Spain.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 778/83
of 30 March 1983
laying down quality standards for tomatoes
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
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), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1738/82 (2), and in particular Article 2 (3) thereof,
Whereas the quality standards for tomatoes are laid down in Annex II/2 of Regulation No 23 (3); whereas those standards were amended by Regulation No 190/67/EEC (4);
Whereas a change has occurred in the production and marketing of tomatoes, particularly as regards the requirements of consumer and wholesale markets; whereas the common quality standards for tomatoes as laid down by Regulation No 23 should therefore be changed to take those new requirements into account;
Whereas such changes entail alteration of the definition of the supplementary quality class as laid down by Council Regulation No 211/66/EEC (5); whereas account should be taken, in defining that class, of the economic importance to producers of the products concerned and of the need to meet consumer requirements;
Whereas the standards are applicable at all stages of marketing; whereas transportation over a long distance, storage for a certain length of time or the various handling operations may bring about deterioration due to the biological development of the products or their tendency to perish; whereas, therefore, account should be taken of such deterioration when applying the standards at the marketing stages following dispatch; whereas, since the products in the 'Extra' Class have to be particularly carefully sorted and packaged, only lack of freshness or turgescence is to be taken into account only in their case;
Whereas in the interest of clarity and certainty as to legal requirements for ease of use the standards thus changed should be consolidated in a single text;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegeables,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The quality standards for tomatoes falling within subheading 07.01 M of the Common Customs Tariff are set out in the Annex hereto.
These standards shall apply at all marketing stages, under the conditions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72.
However, at the stages following dispatch the products may show, in relation to the standards prescribed,
- a slight lack of freshness and turgescence,
- for the products graded in the classes other than the 'Extra' Class, slight deterioration due to their development and their tendency to perish.
Article 2
1. The words 'to tomatoes' in Article 2 of Regulation No 23 and the word 'tomatoes' in Article 1 of Regulation No 211/66/EEC are hereby deleted.
2. Annex II/2 to Regulation No 23 and Annex II to Regulation No 211/66/EEC are hereby repealed.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 April 1983.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
