Title: PROPOSAL FOR A COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC ) AMENDING 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

No C 293/6                          Official Journal of the European Communities                              23. 11.90
           Proposal for a Council Regulation (EEC) amending 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
                                                   COM(90) 523 final
                                  (Submitted by the Commission on 31 October 1990)
                                                     (90/C 293/04)
           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 Articles 90 (2)
           and 257 (2) thereof,
           Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
           Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
           Whereas Articles 90 (1) and 257 (1) of the Act of Accession provide for a period during which
           transitional measures may be adopted to facilitate the switchover from the arrangements
           existing in Spain and in Portugal before accession to those resulting from the application of the
           common organization of the markets under the conditions laid down in the Act and in
           particular to cope with appreciable difficulties in implementing the new arrangements at the
           date laid down; whereas the date of expiry of that period, set at 31 December 1987 in the Act
           of Accession, was extended by Council Regulation (EEC) N o 4007/87 of 22 December
            1987 C), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3849/89 (2), to 31 December 1990 for Spain
           and Portugal;
           Whereas, despite progress made in recent years, difficulties specific to certain sectors in either
           Member State cannot be overcome by 31 December 1990; whereas the period in question
           should therefore be extended by one year for Spain and by two years for Portugal,
           HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
                                                        Article 1
           Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4007/87 is hereby amended as follows:
           1. In the first paragraph, '31 December 1990' for Spain is replaced by '31 December 1991'.
           2. In the second paragraph, '31 December 1990' for Portugal is replaced by '31 December
               1992'.
                                                        Article 2
           This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1991.
           This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directy applicable in all Member States.
