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 257 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3792/85 of 20 December 1985 laying down the arrangements applying to trade in agricultural products between Spain and Portugal (1), amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88 (2), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas Portuguese import quotas for 1988 on certain eggs and poultrymeat sector products from Spain were set by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 4009/87 (3);
Whereas under Article 4 (4) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 3792/85 these quotas are added to the quotas determined under Article 269 of the Act of Accession and Article 269 (2) (d) applies to the combined quotas; whereas consequently the quantitative restrictions in force in Portugal against Spanish products are abolished if imports into Portugal from the other Member States are in two consecutive years less than 90 % of the total annual quotas opened; whereas final import statistics show that for turkey and chicken chicks and for certain eggs in shell this percentage was not reached in either 1986 or 1987; whereas the quotas for these products should therefore be abolished;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Eggs and Poultrymeat,

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 28/97 of 9 January 1997 laying down detailed rules for implementation of specific measures for the supply of certain vegetable oils for the processing industry in the French overseas departments and assessing supply requirements(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 127/2001(3), establishes the supply requirements for those products for 2001.
(2) For 2001 the supply requirements for vegetable oils (other than olive oil) are assessed at 8908 tonnes in the case of the Department of Réunion.

It should therefore be increased to 10522 tonnes. The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 28/97 should therefore be amended.
(3) This Regulation will enter into force after the expiry of the time limit for submitting licence applications in December 2001. To avoid a break in supplies to the French overseas departments, provision should be made to derogate from Article 4(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 28/97 and to allow, for this month alone, the submission of licence applications in the five working days following the entry into force of this Regulation and to set the time limit for the issue of such licences at 10 working days following the entry into force of this Regulation.
