COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 747/93 of 17 March 1993 derogating, with regard to the granting to Portugal of the suckler cow premium, from Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal
THE COUNCIL OF  THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the achievement of the Single Market requires the abolition of all barriers to trade not only between the Member States of the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 but also, to the greatest possible extent, between those Member States  and the new Member States;
Whereas this approach means abolishing the only mechanism still protecting the Portuguese market in the beef and veal sector at this time, namely the supplementary trade mechanism licences; whereas it could consequently exert pressure on prices and the  incomes of Portuguese producers; whereas appropriate support of the above incomes may be ensured by increasing for these producers for a period of three years the amount paid in respect of the suckler cow premium provided for by Council Regulation (EEC)  No 805/68 of 27 June 1968, on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (2), and if the first impact of the abovementioned pressure is reduced by advances that the Portuguese Government would be authorized to grant; whereas the increase of  the reserve laid down in Article 4f of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 may favour the structural improvement of Portuguese production and thus its adaptation to the situation created by the elimination of the accession mechanisms,
