COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 705/92  of 20 March 1992  amending Regulation (EEC) No 606/86 laying down detailed rules for applying the supplementary trade mechanism to milk products imported into Spain from the Community of Ten and Portugal
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 83 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 569/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down general rules for applying the supplementary mechanism applicable to trade (1), amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3296/88 (2), and in particular Article 7 (1) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 606/86 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 63/92 (4), sets, within the indicative ceiling for the import of milk products into Spain, two quantities, one for products originating in the Community of Ten and  the other for those originating in Portugal; whereas the ceiling provides for specific quantities for Portugal in order to prevent changes in the traditional trade in milk products in the Community; whereas, in order to enable the Spanish market to be  supplied more uniformly, it is desirable to provide for break-down by month instead of the current quarterly break-down;
Whereas, the Council has deleted milk and cream in small packings from the list of products subject to the supplementary trade mechanism protecting the Portuguese market; whereas the Portuguese market is completely integrated into the Community market  with regard to trade in these products; whereas, then, the integrity of the Community market must take preference over the objective of maintaining traditional trade; whereas, therefore, there should no longer be separate quantities within the  indicative ceiling for imports of milk and cream in small packings into Spain according to whether the product originates in the Community of Ten or in Portugal;
Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
