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 Article 251 (1) and (2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 569/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down general rules for the application of the supplementary mechanism applicable to trade (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3296/88 (2), and in particular Article 7  (1) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3792/85 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3296/88, lays down the arrangements applying to trade in agricultural products between Spain and Portugal; whereas in view of Article 5 (2), the abovementioned  arrangements also apply to the products concerned originating from Spain, as of 1 January 1991;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 574/86 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3296/88, lays down detailed rules for the application of the supplementary trade mechanism;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 643/86 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1316/91 (6), fixes in particular the target ceilings provided for in Article 251 (1) of the Act of Accession for certain floricultural products falling within CN  codes 0602, 0603 and 0604 for the year 1991;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 251 (2) of the Act of Accession, the target ceilings must reflect a certain progress in relation to traditional trade flows so as to ensure a harmonious and gradual opening-up of the market; whereas, to that end, the  target ceilings for ornamental plants, roses, carnations and Asparagus plumosus and those for rose bushes should be increased for 1992;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Live Plants,
