Proposal  for  a 

COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EEC) 

amending,  as  regards  Spain,  Regulation  (EEC)  No  4007/87  extending  the 

period  referred  to  in  Articles  90(1)  and  257(1)  of  the  Act  of  Accession 

of  Spain  and  Portugal

EXPIANATORY  WKMnRANOTM 

Articles 90(1) and 257(1) of the Act of Accession in the case of Spain arxi 
?crtugal respectively» provide for a period during which the Commission may 
adopt transitional measures which may appear necessary to facilitate the 
•??itdhover from  the arrangements existing in Spain and Portugal before 
accession to those resulting from the application of the common organization 
of the rnsrkets tmder the conditions laid down in the Act, in particular if 
such. implemeLitation at the date laid, down (1 March 1986) meets with 
appreciable difficulties for certain products. 

The date of sxjrxy of that period, fixed at 31 December 1987 dbû the Act, was 
extended bv. Council Peculation (SBC) No 4007/87 of 22 December  198?, as 
azrended by^Kegulation (SEC) No 4074/88, to 31 December 1989 for Spa-La am 
31 December 1990 for Portugal. The measures adopted on the legal basis 

ferred bo above will cease to apply as of that date. 

IXiring that period the Commission has adopted measures required for many 
groups of products, namely oils and fats, cereals, sugar, eggs, beef and 
veal, pigmeat and wine. 

2.  ±& regards Spain, despite the progress made and developments occurring since 

accession and in spite of the application of the transitional measures 
adopted on that basis, difficulties remain and cannot be overcome by 
1 January 1990.  Thus for example in the oils and fats sector, the extension 
of these measures is necessary to permit the gradual introduction of olive 
oil producer organizations with a view to managing production aid and 
storage measures. 

The possible need to cope with appreciable market difficulties specific to 
Spain cannot be ruled out from the outset as regards the management of other 
(market) organizations as well. 

3.  It should moreover be noted that Article 90 has facilitated the execution of 
the EBC/USA agreement on imports of maize and grain sorghum Into Spain. 
Accompanying measures comparable to those adopted in recent years could 
still prove necessary to meet the Community's commitments. 

To conclude, the validity of a general provision which authorizes the 
application of transitional measures limitai to the territory of a new 
Member State on the basis of objective criteria relating to that State 
should, be extended»

A 

Annex  to the  Financial  Statement 

This draft  aims  to extend  the  legal  basis  required  to  continue  applying  various 
transitional  measures  in  respect  of  certain  market  organizations. 

Given  the nature  of  the  general  legal  basis  in question,  it  is not  possible  a priori 
to assess  the  financial  implication  of  this  framework  proposal. 

However, a financial  statement  will  be drawn  up  and  attached  to each  proposal  for 
specific  transitional  measures.
