The purpose of this proposal for a Regulation is to remove milk and cream in

Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION 

amending Regulation  (EEC) No 3659/90 on products subject 
to the supplementary trade mechanism during the second 
stage of Portuguese accession 

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 Council Regulation  (EEC) No 3659/90 on products subject to the 

supplementary trade mechanism during the second stage of Portuguese accession(*) 

provides for the application of the supplementary trade mechanism  (STM) to 

Portugal from 1 January 1991 to 31 December 1995; whereas, in view of the low 

level of deliveries to Portugal of milk and cream in small packings, it is not 

necessary to apply the supplementary trade mechanism; whereas, as a result, these 

products should be removed from the list laid down by the aforementioned 

Regulation to facilitate the integration of the Portuguese market into the 

Community market; 

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 

(1) OJ No L 362, 27.12.1990, p. 38.

Exports of milk products to Portugal do rot benefit  from export  refunds but frcm accession compensatory 
amounts.  This measure would only concern  limited quantities and the effect  in the Ccnnunity budget 
would therefore be negligible.
