1.    Articles 90(1 ) and 257(1 ) of the Act of Accession provide , in the case of
      Spain and Portugal respectively , that the Commission may , during a
      specified period , adopt transitional measures to facilitate the passage
      from the national arrangements applicable in Spain and Portugal at the
      time of accession to the EEC market arrangements covered by the Act ,
      particularly if for certain products the application of the EEC market
      arrangements on the scheduled date (1 March 1986 ) meets with appreciable
      difficulties .
      The transitional period in question is due to expire on 31 December 1987
      and the measures adopted on the legal basis referred to above will cease
      to apply as of that date .
2.    The Commission has adopted transitional measures for many groups of
      products : oils and fats , cereals , sugar , eggs , pigmeat and wine .
      Nevertheless , the implementation of those measures a number of
      difficulties remain as regards certain groups of products ( oils and fats ,
      cereals , eggs and pigmeat ), difficulties which cannot be overcome by
      31 December 1987 .
3.    The transitional period should , therfore , be extended pursuant to Article
      90(2 ), in the case of Spain , and 257(2 ), in the case of Portugal .
      The purpose of the transitional measures is essentially :
      -   in the case of cereals and eggs , to offset errors in the Act of
          Accession on a provisional basis in Spain and Portugal pending the
          completion of the procedure for correcting the Act ;
      -   in the case of oils and fats , to enable Spain and Portugal gradually to
          set up olive-oil producers' organizations for the purpose of the
          management of the production-aid scheme ;
      -   in the case of pigmeat , to enable Spanish producers to adapt
          progressively to the liberalization of trade ;
      -   to adjust , following the EEC-USA agreement , the arrangements for
          importing cereals into Portugal until the end of the first stage .
      Since , generally speaking , the characteristics of Portuguese agriculture
      are such as to warrant a longer period of adjustment it is proposed that
      the transitional period should be two years in the case of Spain and three
      years in the case of Portugal ( 1 ).
( 1 ) The Commission and the Council have said that they are prepared to extend
      Portugal 's transitional period until the end of the first stage
      ( 31 December 1990 ) in the case of the arrangements for cereal imports into
      Portugal .

                       COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC )
       extending the period referred to in Articles 90(1 ) and 257(1 ) of the
                      Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
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 , in the case
of Spain and Portugal respectively , that transitional measures may be adopted
during a certain period in order to facilitate the passage from the national
arrangements applicable at the time of accession to the EEC market
arrangements applicable under the Act , particularly in order to deal with
appreciable difficulties arising from the application of the new arrangements
on the scheduled date ; whereas the period in question expires on 31 December
1987 ;
Whereas those difficulties cannot , in the case of certain groups of products ,
be overcome by the scheduled date and whereas the period in question should
therefore be extended as authorized under the Act ;   whereas , since the
difficulties experienced have not been the same in both Member States and have
varied according to the group of products concerned , the transitional period
should be extended by two years in the case of Spain and three years in the
case of Portugal ,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
