COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 237/87
of 27 January 1987
amending Regulation (EEC) No 546/86 laying down detailed rules for applying the supplementary trade mechanism to fishery products
THE COMMISSION 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 174 and 361 thereof,
Whereas the Act of Accession introduced a supplementary trade mechanism applicable to imports of certain fishery products into the new Member States;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 546/86 (1) laid down detailed rules for applying this mechanism; whereas that Regulation provides in particular that any imports into Spain and Portugal of the products concerned should be subject to the presentation of import licences issued in advance by the competent agency of the importing Member State;
Whereas experience gained by such agencies has shown the advisability of allowing some tolerance as regards the quantity of products imported as compared with that stated on the import licence; whereas provision should also be made for the term of validity of such licences to be more in line with customary commercial practices; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 546/86 should therefore be amended accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fishery Products,
