of 22 July 1988

amending Regulation (EEC) No 3719/87 fixing, for 1988, the quotas for imports into Portugal of certain pigmeat products from Spain and certain detailed rules for the application thereof

THE COMMISSION 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,

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), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88 (2), and in particular Article 13 thereof,

Whereas Portuguese import quotas for 1988 on certain pigmeat sector products from Spain were set by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/87 (3);

Whereas pursuant to 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 edible offals and lard 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 Pigmeat,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3719/87 is hereby replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
