COUNCIL DECISION of 21 June 1989 on the conclusion of a Supplementary Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Finland concerning the elimination of existing and prevention of new quantitative restrictions affecting exports or measures having equivalent effect (89/544/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Finland (1), signed in Brussels on 5 October 1973, does not provide for the prohibition of quantitative restrictions affecting exports and measures having equivalent effect;

Whereas it is in the interest of the European Economic Community and the Republic of Finland to promote the free circulation of raw materials and goods by abolishing any such restrictions and measures and by preventing the creation of new restrictions or measures affecting their mutual trade;

Whereas it is necessary both to make arrangements for a phased abolition of current restrictions affecting certain products or measures having equivalent effect and to provide for safeguard measures in the event either of re-export towards third countries against which the exporting Contracting Party maintains restrictions or measures having equivalent effect or in the event of serious shortage of a particular product;

Whereas the Commission has held negotiations with the Republic of Austria, which have resulted in a Protocol,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

The Supplementary Protocol to the Agreement between

the European Economic Community and the Republic of Finland concerning the elimination of existing and prevention of new quantitative restrictions affecting exports or measures having equivalent effect is hereby approved on behalf of the Community.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 12 May 1989

fixing the conversion rate to be used pursuant to Council Decision 89/144/EEC extending certain provisions on the supply of milk and milk products at a reduced price to cover Portugal

(Only the Portuguese text is authentic)

(89/352/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 of 11 June 1985 on the value of the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1636/87 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,

Having regard to Council Decision 89/144/EEC of 20 February 1989 extending certain provisions on the supply of milk and milk products at a reduced price to cover Portugal (3),

Whereas, to facilitate the implementation of Decision 89/144/EEC, the conversion rate to be applied for the purposes of conversion into national currency of the amounts expressed in ecus in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2167/83 of 28 July 1983 laying down detailed rules for the supply of milk and certain milk products to schoolchildren (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88 (5), should be specified; whereas, as the common agricultural policy in the milk and milk products sector does not apply to Portugal during the first stage of transition, a conversion rate reflecting the actual economic ratio between the escudo and the green ecu should be applied;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

For the purpose of applying Decision 89/144/EEC, amounts expressed in ecus shall be converted into national currency using the exchange rate used for fixing the monetary compensatory amounts applicable at the beginning of the marketing year.

For products distributed from 1 January 1989, that rate shall therefore be ECU 1 = Esc 190,623.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic.
