THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Additional Protocol to the Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1), concluded subsequently to the Accession of Spain and Portugal, provides that Yugoslavia is to limit its exports to the Community of fresh or chilled sour cherries, referred to in the Additional Protocol as 'morello cherries'; whereas, in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (2), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1251/90 (3), chilled cherries are to be classified under the same heading as fresh cherries;
Whereas, from the second phase of the transitional period, the Kingdom of Spain is to apply to imports the preferences granted by the Community to certain third countries; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1200/88 (4) should be amended accordingly;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 282 of the Act of Accession, the Portuguese Republic is authorized to postpone the progressive application of import preferences granted by the Community to certain third countries; whereas, in order to avoid any deflections of trade, the system of import licences should be extended to sour cherries, fresh, originating in Yugoslavia, released for free circulation in Portugal and subsequently re-exported to the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985 or to Spain,
