Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3651/90 of 11 December 1990 (1) laying down general rules for applying the supplementary trade mechanism to trade in fresh fruit and vegetables between Portugal and other Member States, as amended by  Regulation (EEC) No 745/93 (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
