COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 3816/90
of 19 December 1990
laying down detailed rules for the application of  the supplementary trade mechanism for certain products in the pigmeat sector destined for Portugal  and originating in the other Member States
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)  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,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3792/85 of 20 December 1985 laying down the  arrangements applying to trade in agricultural products between Spain and Portugal  (3), and in  particular Article 13 thereof, as amended by Regulation 3296/88,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3659/90  (4) has specified the list of products submitted to  transition by stage which are subject to the STM from the beginning of the second stage,
Whereas Article 5 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3792/85 specifies that the imports from Spain  of these products are submitted to the STM according to Articles 249 to 252 of the Act of  Accession;
Whereas the indicative ceilings on imports into Portugal of certain products of the pigmeat sector  listed in the Annex to this Regulation are laid down on the basis of the provisional balance sheet  established in application of Article 251 of the Act of Accession and on taking account of in  particular the traditional trade volumes of imports into Portugal as well as the necessity for a  progressive opening up of the Portuguese market;
Whereas it is appropriate to foresee that Community operators can only export certain products in  the pigmeat sector to Portugal under certain restrictive conditions concerning in particular the  period during
which they have engaged in their commerce; whereas it is appropriate to derogate  from that rule for 1991 to benefit those operators situated in the territory of the former German  Democratic Republic in order to allow them to export those products to Portugal;
Whereas to lay down detailed rules for the application for the issue of licences it is necessary to  derogate from both Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common  detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing  certificates for agricultural products  (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1599/90  (6), and  Commission Regulation (EEC) No 574/86 of 26 February 1986 laying down detailed rules for the  application of the STM  (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3296/88;
Whereas the pigmeat management committee has not delivered its opinion within the time limit set by  its chairman,
