COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 743/93 of 17 March 1993 on the list of products subject to the supplementary trade mechanism as regards consignment to Portugal
THE COUNCIL 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 Article 234 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the achievement of the Single Market requires the removal of all barriers to trade not only between the Member States of the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 but also to the greatest possible extent between those Member States and  Spain and Portugal; whereas, to that end, the supplementary trade mechanism must be abolished in all cases where it is not absolutely necessary;
Whereas experience of operating that mechanism indicates that it can be abolished for products subject to classic transition without any risk of disturbing the Portuguese market;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3659/90 of 11 December 1990 on products subject to the supplementary trade mechanism during the second stage of Portuguese accession (2), sets out the list of products subject to transition by stages to which the STM  applies; whereas experience indicates that maintaining that mechanism is essential to balance on the Portuguese market only in the case of those products covered by this Regulation;
Whereas given these facts a new list of products consigned to Portugal and subject to the mechanism in question should be drawn up and Regulation (EEC) No 3659/90 to be repealed,
