                              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

 ---pagebreak---                                                                  ^7> v/f/
                               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 a m
    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»

     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.
