COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) N° 3660/90 of 11 December 1990  amending, as regards Portugal, Regulation (EEC) N° 1079/77 on a co-responsibility levy and on  measures for expanding the markets in milk and milk products
THE COUNCIL 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 234 (2)  thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) N° 1079/77(1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 1181/90(2),  introduces a co-responsibility levy in the milk and milk products sector and exempts from the said  levy the Community regions referred to in Article 3 (3), (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/CEE(3), as  last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 797/85(4);
Whereas, under the terms of Protocol 25, from the moment all common agricultural policy rules enter  into force in Portugal, the Community production disciplines will be applied in that Member State under the same conditions as those applied to the least-favoured  regions in the Community; whereas the said Protocol therefore indicates that, as regards the co-responsibility levy in the milk sector, Portugal must enjoy the same  treatment reserved for the regions set out in Article 3 (3), (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) N° 1079/77 should therefore be amended for this purpose and its provisions  updated,
