COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 3351/87
of 6 November 1987
on the introduction of a measure for Spanish maize consigned to the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985
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 90 thereof,
Whereas surpluses resulting in particular from the application of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the United States of America, as approved by Council Decision 87/224/EEC (1), are among the main features of the market in maize in Spain;
Whereas imports under the Agreement make it difficult to dispose of Spanish maize, which traditionally finds an outlet on the home market;
Whereas the location of Spain's production and the rules governing trade between Spain and the Member States of the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 prevent the said surpluses from being disposed of in those Member States;
Whereas the granting of an amount in respect of Spanish maize consigned to other Member States is likely to improve the flow of trade in the Community and, thereby, alleviate the situation on the market in maize in Spain; whereas the granting of such an amount could well, however, result in deflection of trade; whereas the only way to avoid the said deflection of trade is to grant the amount in question only in cases where the maize is consigned to the other Member States via what is, in the light of the location of Spain's production, the most suitable means of transport;
Whereas, in order to facilitate the administration of the scheme, the amount should be granted at a stage at which it can be deducted from the accession compensatory amount;
Whereas a provision should be introduced whereby operations pursuant to this Regulation are taken into account in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3183/87 (3);
Whereas the Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,
