COMMISSION DECISION

of 19 December 1990

on transitional measures applying to Portuguese imports from other Member States of products of the pigmeat, egg and poultrymeat sectors

(Only the Portuguese text is authentic)

(90/671/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, and in particular Article 257 thereof,

Whereas in Portugal the changeover from the arrangements applicable during the first stage of accession to those resulting from application of common organization arrangements from the beginning of the second stage is likely to raise considerable problems in the pigmeat, egg and poultrymeat sectors; whereas application of the common organization arrangements in Portugal for the cereals, pigmeat, egg and poultrymeat sectors, on the terms laid down by Council Regulations (EEC) No 3653/90 (1) and (EEC) No 3657/90 (2), in fact involve immediate abolition of all protection of the Portuguese market from competition from the other Member States;

Whereas in Portugal structural difficulties in the pigmeat, egg and poultrymeat sectors and a level of profitability much lower than in the other Member States mean that too abrupt a confrontation with much more competitive structures would be dangerous to the extent of jeopardizing survival of these sectors in Portugal; whereas this danger is worsened by the fact that at the beginning of the second stage the difficulties of Portuguese producers are made more acute by the impact on their production costs of the very much higher level of cereal prices in Portugal during the first stage of accession than in the rest of the Community;

Whereas application by Portugal as necessary and for a maximum of one year of a special duty as specified in this Regulation on imports of products from other Member States would suffice to remove this danger and allow the necessary adjustments in Portugal to be made harmoniously during 1991;

Whereas the Management Committees for Pigmeat and for Poultrymeat and Eggs have not issued opinions within the time limits set by their chairmen,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Portuguese Republic is authorized to apply from 1 January to 31 December 1991 the special duties indicated in Annexes I and II on imports of the corresponding products from the other Member States.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic.

Done at Brussels, 19 December 1990.

Whereas under Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 all new plantings of wines are prohibited until 31 August 1996; whereas, however, that provision allows Member States for the 1990/91 wine year to authorize new plantings in the case of quality wines psr for which the Commission has recognized that production, because of their qualitative features, is far below demand;

Whereas requests to apply that provision to certain quality wines psr were submitted by the Spanish Government on 13 March 1989 and on 28 June 1990;

Whereas scrutiny of those requests shows that the quality wines psr concerned meet the requirements applicable provided that, for all quality wines psr produced in any given region, the increase in the areas intended for their production does not exceed the limits laid down by the Spanish Government.

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The quality wines psr listed in the Annex hereto meet the requirements laid down in the second subparagraph of Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 subject, for all quality wines psr in any given region, to compliance with the maximum increase in area specified in the Annex.

COUNCIL DECISION of 4 February 1991 amending Decision 90/218/EEC concerning the administration of Bovine Somatotropin (BST) (91/61/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),

Whereas, by Decision 90/218/EEC (4) concerning the administration of Bovine Somatotropin (BST), the Council requested Member States to prohibit, until 31 December 1990, the administration of Bovine Somatotropin on their territory by any means whatsoever to dairy cows as the effects and consequences of such administration were not sufficiently clear at the time;

Whereas the time limit originally provided for in order to make in-depth studies of such effects and consequences was short and the maintenance of the status quo of national rules concerning the authorization of this substance had been agreed under a gentleman's agreement;

Whereas an additional time limit is necessary before the results of the studies being carried out become available and it therefore appears necessary, in order to avoid prejudging the contents of such results, to extend, to the authorization to place on the market, the prohibition to administer Bovine Somatotropin, provided for by Decision 90/218/EEC,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: Article 1

Decision 80/218/EEC is hereby amended as follows:

1. the title is replaced by the following:

'Council Decision 90/218/EEC of 25 April 1990 concerning the placing on the market and administration of Bovine Somatotropin (BST)';

2. Article 1 is replaced by the following:

'Article 1

Notwithstanding the scientific and technical examination of applications laid down by Community law, Member States shall take care, until 31 December 1991, not to authorize the placing on the market of Bovine Somatotropin and not to administer it on their territory by any means whatsoever to dairy cows.';

3. In Article 4, '1 October 1990' and '31 December 1990' are replaced by '1 October 1991' and '31 December 1991' respectively. Article 2

COMMISSION DECISION of 16 January 1991 amending Commission Decision 90/525/EEC of 11 October 1990 authorizing Member States to permit temporarily the marketing of forest reproductive material not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 66/404/EEC (91/44/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 66/404/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of forest reproductive material (1), as last amended by Directive 88/332/EEC (2), and in particular Article 15 thereof,

Whereas Commission Decision 90/525/EEC of 11 October 1990 (3) authorizes Member States to permit the marketing of certain forest reproductive materials not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 66/404/EEC in their territory for a period expiring, as far as first marketing is concerned, on 30 November 1991 and, in the other cases, on 31 December 1993;

Whereas the Federal Republic of Germany has requested authorization to permit in the same periods the marketing in its territory of seedlings of Quercus robur L. produced in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic from seed satisfying less stringent requirements in respect of provenance;

Whereas, for genetic reasons, the reproductive material must be collected at places of origin which the natural range of the relevant species and the strictest possible guarantees should be given to ensure the identity of the material;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: Article 1

The following Article is introduced after Article 1 of Decision 90/525/EEC of the Commission of 11 October 1990: 'Article 1a

The Federal Republic of Germany is hereby authorized, on condition that the proof specified in Article 2 is furnished with regard to the place of provenance of the seed, to permit the marketing in its territory of seedlings of Quercus robur L., produced from seed satisfying less stringent requirements in respect of provenance, under the following conditions:

(i) the seedlings must come from stands in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic;

(ii) the number of seedlings must not exceed 10 000 000;

(iii) the authorization, in so far as it concerns the first marketing, shall expire on 30 November 1991 and, in so far it does not concern the first marketing, shall expire on 31 December 1993.'
