Council Regulation (EEC) No 523/91 of 27 February 1991 extending the validity of Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products originating in the ACP States or in the overseas countries and territories (OCT)

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 523/91  of 27 February 1991  extending the validity of Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 on the arrangements applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products  originating in the ACP States or in the overseas countries and territories (OCT)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 297/91 (2), and in particular Article 31 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 is to apply only until 28 February 1991;
Whereas it is not certain that the fourth ACP-EEC Convention, signed at Lomé on 15 December 1989, and the Decision which is to be substituted for Council Decision 86/283/EEC of 30 June 1986 on the association of the overseas countries and territories  with the European Economic Community (3) will have entered into force by that date; whereas, in order to avoid a break in continuity of trade, the validity of the Regulation in question should therefore be extended beyond 28 February 1991,
