COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 4061/86

of 22 December 1986

amending Regulation (EEC) No 496/86 fixing the initial quantitative restrictions on the import into Portugal of certain processed fruit and vegetable products from third countries

THE COUNCIL 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 234 (2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas Article 245 of the Act of Accession provides that the Portuguese Republic may, until 31 December 1992, apply quantitative restrictions to imports from third countries of the products listed in Annex XXI to the Act, and in particular of certain processed fruit and vegetable products;

Whereas the application of Article 245 of the Act by the Portuguese Republic requires that the quotas for the said products be fixed for 1987;

Whereas, according to information available, the application of the criteria laid down in Article 245 of the Act results in the quotas in question being fixed at the level shown in this Regulation; whereas a rate of increase of 15 % should be adopted for 1987 in order to avoid any risk of disturbance of the Portuguese market; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 496/86 (1) should be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EEC) No 496/86 is hereby amended as follows:

(1) Article 1 (1) shall be replaced by the following:

'1. For 1987, the quotas provided for in Article 245 of the Act of Accession to be applied by the Portuguese Republic to imports from third countries of the processed fruit and vegetable products listed in Annex XXI to the said Act shall be as set out in the Annex hereto.';

(2) Article 1 (2) shall be deleted.

(3) The Annex shall be replaced by the Annex hereto.
