Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No ... 
of ... 
on products subject to the supplementary trade mechanism during the second stage of 
Portuguese accession 
(90/C 297/22) 
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, Whereas the difficulties in the fruit and vegetable sector 
caused by the over-rapid increase in exports to the 
Portuguese market from other Member States make it 
advisable to apply the STM to these products as well; 
whereas the sensitivity of the Portuguese market to certain 
milk products also justifies their inclusion in the said list; 
whereas the difficulties experienced on the rice market in 
Portugal, leading to major intervention buying of a product 
in which Portugal has a deficit, makes it equally advisable 
to apply the STM to certain types of rice, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Whereas Article 286 (2) of the Act of Accession provides 
that the supplementary trade mechanism — hereinafter 
referred to as 'the STM' — may be applied from 1 January 
1991 until 31 December 1995 to products subject to 
transition by stages; whereas Article 286 (2) also stipulates 
that the list of products subject to the STM must be drawn 
up before the end of the first stage; 
Whereas the STM should be applied to exports of 
certain products to Portugal; whereas to that end the 
aforementioned list should include live bovines, production 
of which in the Azores makes it advisable to monitor 
imports, and products of the pigmeat sector for the period 
needed to eradicate African swine fever, in view of the 
market consequences of the presence of the disease in 
Portugal; whereas imports of a number of products in the 
poultry sector should also be subject to monitoring under 
the STM, until Portuguese production has reached the 
same level of profitability as in other Member States; Article 1 
The supplementary trade mechanism provided for in 
Article 249 of the Act of Accession shall apply from 
1 January 1991 to 31 December 1995 to the products listed 
in the Annex hereto and imported into Portugal, on the 
terms set out in Articles 250, 251 and 252 of the Act. 
However, the STM shall apply to products of the rice 
sector and products of the pigmeat sector until 
31 December 1992 only. 
Article 2 
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day 
following its publication in the Official Journal of the 
European Communities. 
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member 
States.
