COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 500/86  of 25 February 1986  fixing the initial quantitative restrictions for imports into Portugal of oil cake from third countries
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 Article 245 of the Act of Accession states that the Portuguese Republic may, until 31 December 1992, apply quantitative restrictions to the importation from third countries of the products listed in Annex XXI,  including oil cake;  Whereas Article 245 of the Act of Accession cannot be implemented by the Portuguese Republic in respect of the aforementioned products unless the initial quota is fixed;  Whereas the figure for the volume of imports of oil cake into  Portugal is on average more than 3 % of the figure for the volume of national production; whereas under the rules laid down in Article 245 of the Act the quota should therefore be the average of the import volumes for the years 1982, 1983 and 1984;   Whereas this Regulation applies to all third countries, without prejudice, however, to the protocols to be concluded with preferential third countries as provided for in Article 366 of the Act, or to transitional measures as specified in Article 367  thereof; whereas it should, however, be specified that quantities resulting from quantitative restrictions fixed as a result of application of these Articles are included in those fixed for third countries by this Regulation,
