Whereas the period fixed in Article 90 of the Act of Accession was extended to 31 December 1990 by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3849/89 (1);
Whereas, in the beef sector, a proportion of production cannot be absorbed on the Spanish market owing to low internal demand for such products and can be disposed of on other markets only with difficulty in view of the time necessary to adjust the trade structures to the opening of the market; whereas this situation has created economic difficulties for producers in Spain through the substantial price deteriorations recorded in the last few months; whereas those difficulties are sufficiently serious to warrant the introduction of transitional measures with a view to improving the situation of the market for beef in Spain;
Whereas, in order to be effective, such transitional measures should involve the buying in at fixed prices of all products in the beef sector in accordance with the conditions laid down in Title I, Section I, and Titles II and III of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 859/89 of 27 March 1989 laying down detailed rules for the application of intervention measures in the beef and veal sector (2);

4. The Spanish intervention agency shall buy in products offered under the conditions laid down in Title I, Section I, and in Titles II and III of Regulation (EEC) No 859/89.
5. The intervention agency shall pay between the 45th and 60th day following that of takeover for products bought in.
