COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3501/90  of 27 November 1990  removing olive oil and oil cake from the list of products subject to the STM in Portugal
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 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Article 249 of the Act of Accession provides for olive oil and oil cake to be subject to the supplementary trade mechanism (STM) on importation into Portugal;
Whereas, within the framework of the STM, the Portuguese market in these products has to a great extent been open since accession without any difficulties having arisen;
Whereas the total opening up of the Portuguese market in vegetable oils and fats at the expiry of the standstill period and the introduction at the same date of aid for the consumption of olive oil in Portugal require the liberalization of imports of  Olive oil and oil cakes from the other Member States into Portugal; whereas those products should therefore no longer be subject to the STM,
