2. Within the limits of the tariff quotas customs duties are to be phased
   out over the same periods and at the same rates as provided for in
   Articles 78, 243 and 266 of the Act of Accession.
   However, as regards carrots, tomatoes and onions, fresh or chilled,
   Council Regulations (2BC) Noe 2873/87 and 3169/66, which lay down
   arrangements for trade between Spain and Portugal on the one b^ri and
   3ffypt, Tunisia and Morocco on the other, provide that in the case of
   fruit and vegetable products oovered by Regulation CZBC) MO 1036/72
   Portugal is to defer the application of preferential arrangements
    =
                       Ohe tariff quotas for these products therefore apply
   only to the Community excluding Portugal.
   Wltkin the limits of these tariff quotas, Spain is to apply c»ift<tns
   duties mlaulated in accordance with the relevant provisions of
   Regulations (EBC) Nos 2873/67 and 3169/66.
                           mr
                         f
   These Gcmnunity tariff quotas should therefore be opened for t&e periods
   1 minuted in Article 1.
3. T>rMng the periods:
   - IB November-31 Deomnher 1969 and 1 Maroh-30 April 1990 as regards
      tomatoes, fresh or chilled, originating in Moroooo; and
   - 1 Pebruary-30 April 1990 as regards onions, fresh or chilled.
      originating In «ypt.                                               products
                                                                        , from
   these products are subject to a lower duty than that applicable to |8pain
   and Portugal. The tariff quotas In question should therefore be opened
   for the periods 1 January-26 February 1990 and 1-16 May 1990
                                                                   levels

4. It is proposed that the whole volume of each of these tariff quotas
   should form a Community reserve to whioh all Member States will have
   access according to the procedure laid down in Article 3 of the proposed
   Régulation.
    Shis is the purpose of the attached proposal,

Whereas, however, Council Regulation (EBC) Ko 3169/66 of 14 October 1966
laying down the arrangements to be applied by Spain and Portugal to trade
with Morocco 1 and Counoil Regulation (EEC) No 2B73/87 of 11 August 1967
laying down the arrangements for trade between Spain and Portugal on the
one hand and 3gypt and Tunisia on the other2 provide that Portugal shall

for fruit and vegetable products covered by Regulation (EBC) No 1036/72,3
as last amended by Regulation (EBC) No       ; 4 whereas the provisions of
this Regulation concerning the tariff quotas laid down for the products
covered by that Regulation therefore apply only to the Community «»»iwM»Tg
Portugal; whereas the Community tariff quotas in question should therefore
be opened for 1990;
Whereas all Community importers should be ensured equal and oontdnuous
access to the said quotas and the duty rates laid down for the quotas
should be applied consistently to all imports of the products in question
into all Member States until the quotas are exhausted;
Whereas the necessary measures should be taken to provide for the effective
Community management of the quotas, so that the Member States may draw
against the quotas such quantities as they may need, corresponding to
actual Ijnports; whereas this method of administration requires close
coopération between the Member States and the Contnlesion;
