COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1122/89 of 27 April 1989 laying down specific measures for the application of certain intervention thresholds in the fruit and vegetables sector for the 1989/90 marketing year
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 89 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Articles 16 (3a), 16a and 16b of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1119/89 (5), introduce mechanisms for intervention thresholds; whereas, as regards Spain, the switchover to the second phase of accession  takes place on 1 January 1990, i.e. during the 1989/90 marketing year for many products in the sector in question; whereas specific detailed rules should therefore be adopted for the application of the abovementioned mechanisms;
Whereas such specific detailed rules consist in fixing thresholds for the Community of Ten on the one hand and for Spain on the other hand until 31 December 1989, and then thresholds for the Community with the exception of Portugal for the period from 1  January 1990 to the end of the marketing years of the products in question;
Whereas those thresholds should be fixed in accordance with the calculation methods already introduced, as the case may be, by Article 16a of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, by Regulation (EEC) No 2240/88 (6) or by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1121/89 of 27  April 1989 on the introduction of an intervention threshold for apples and cauliflowers (7);
Whereas, to assess any overrun in the abovementioned thresholds, the latter should be added to the quantities bought in, in view of the incorporation of the Spanish market from 1 January 1990;
Whereas, for Portugal, in view of the specific provisions of the Act of Accession, and in particular Article 265 thereof, provision need not be made during the first stage of the transition for the application of similar measures,
