of 18 December 1986

(87/41/EEC)

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 Commission Regulation (EEC) No 574/86 of 28 February 1986 laying down detailed rules for the application of the supplementary trade mechanism (STM) (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1162/86 (2), and in particular Article 6 (4) thereof,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 606/86 of 28 February 1986 laying down detailed rules for applying the supplementary trade mechanism to milk products imported into Spain from the Community of Ten (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2740/86 (4), and in particular Article 3 (2) thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 6 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 574/86, the Commission has been notified of the applications for STM licences for milk and milk products for the period 1 to 10 December 1986; whereas the necessary provisions regarding the acceptance of the said applications should be adopted;

Whereas, Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 606/86 gives a breakdown of cheese by quantity and category for the allocation of STM licences; whereas, as regards categories 1, 5 and 9, the quantities available for 1986 were used up by November owing, on the one hand, to the quantities imported into Spain in January and February 1986 and, on the other hand, to the implementation of the STM system itself for cheese from March 1986 on; whereas, therefore, applications for STM licences for categories 1, 5 and 9 in respect of December 1986 should not be accepted,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
