COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1502/90

of 1 June 1990

amending Regulation (EEC) No 1767/82 as regards the adaptation of the free-at-frontier values and the adjustment of the specific import levies on certain cheeses for the 1990/91 milk year

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3879/89 (2), and in particular Article 14 (7) thereof,

Whereas, following the fall in the target price and the threshold prices for the 1990/91 milk year, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1767/82 of 1 July 1982 laying down detailed rules for applying specific import levies on certain milk products (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1225/90 (4), should be amended accordingly; whereas the amendments must take account of the application of the coefficient for reducing agricultural prices which affects the threshold prices and the free-at-frontier prices applicable from the beginning of the 1990/91 milk year as a result of the monetary realignment of 5 January 1990;

Whereas the concessions which the Community has granted to Turkey and Cyprus for imports into the Community of Haloumi and Tulum Peyniri cheeses provide for a minimum import price to be met; whereas, as a consequence, such cheeses should be made exempt from the payment of the monetary compensatory amount;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
