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 84 (3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 569/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down general rules for the application of the supplementary mechanism applicable to trade (STM) (1), and in particular Article 7 (1) thereof,
Whereas Article 2a of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 606/86 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1258/86 (3), specifies the notion 'any party' in the case of applications for STM licences for cheese; whereas the number of applications is, however, still unusually high; whereas, therefore, on the one hand, only undertakings which are involved in the export or import of cheese should have access to the mechanism and, on the other hand, applicants for STM licences should be compelled to indicate the name of the holder and the latter should not be able to transfer rights deriving from the said licences; whereas, lastly and for the same reasons, the amount of the security for cheese should be increased;
Whereas, if the rights deriving from licences may no longer be transferred in the future, the 10 % limit in Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 606/86 is no longer warranted;
Whereas, in order to facilitate trade, the category 'Edam' should be better defined;
Whereas, in order to satisfy the demand for certain quantities of cheeses, such as Cheddar, Chester and soft-ripened cheeses, a specific category should be instituted for these types of cheeses;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 2a of the abovementioned Regulation, undertakings concerned must be entered in a commercial register of a Member State; whereas account should be taken of the fact that, in certain national laws recognized status as a trader may be acquired without any corresponding entry in a commercial register;
Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
