in particular Article d thereof,
                                                                   The reduction in the levy provided for in Article 3 of

down the framework of detailed rules to ensure that the            — ECU 78 per tonne for maize imported in January

Whereas the amount of the reduction in the import levy
on maize and grain sorghum imported into Spain should              — ECU 82 per tonne for maize imported in March 1990,
be fixed at a level enabling the quantities provided for

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 486/85 of 26                   — ECU 85 per tonne for grain sorghum imported from
February 1985 on the arrangements applicable to                        other countries in December 1989,

combination of this advantage with the reduction                   — ECU 92 per tonne for grain sorghum imported from

Whereas the reduction on maize imported into Spain
must be adjusted if the quantities laid down are to be met
within the time limit agreed ;
