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,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No  569/86 of 25  February 1986 laying down general  rules of application of the supplementary trade mechanism applicable to trade  (1), and in  particular Article  7  (1) thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article  81 of the Act of Accession, imports into Spain of common wheat of  breadmaking quality are subject to the said mechanism; whereas common wheat treated by one of the  methods adopted by Commission Regulation (EEC) No  575/86  (2), is not subject to the mechanism;
Whereas Article  84 of the Act fixed, for 1986, a guide quantity for imports into Spain of wheat  of breadmaking quality from the Community as constituted at 31  December 1985, and provided that  the quantity be increased by 15  % per year in subsequent years; whereas the exact quantities for  1987 to 1989 should be fixed; whereas, having regard to the purpose of the STM arrangements, it  should be made clear that the part of the guide quantity not used during a given year may not be  carried forward to the subsequent year;
Whereas, in the interests of good management, the quantities for which STM licences may be issued  during any one month must be limited;
Whereas, in order to avoid speculative applications being made for STM licences, the validity of  such licences must be limited to a fairly short period adequate for the imports to be carried out  in normal conditions; whereas the fulfilment of the undertaking entered into by the STM licence  holder may be ensured by the lodging of a security;
Whereas on the basis of the available estimates for production and consumption of common wheat of  breadmaking quality in Spain and in the Community as constituted at 31  December 1985, and the  desirable rate of increase in trade during the last months of the current marketing year, the  indicative ceiling provided for in Article  83 of the Act should be fixed at a level allowing  harmonious development of intra-Community trade between now and the end of the 1985/86 marketing  year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Management Committee for Cereals,
