Article 1 
1. If, during the second stage of the transition period, the Portuguese market is disrupted by imports from the other Member States, the Commission, acting at the request of Portugal and in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 33 of Regulation (EEC) N° 1035/72, may introduce a mechanism for the protection of the Portuguese market from imports from the other Member States of fruit and vegetables for which a reference price is fixed with respect to third countries. 2. The decision referred to in paragraph 1 shall determine the period of application of the mechanism and the products to which it applies. 3. The mechanism shall be based on a comparison of a Portuguese representative price, fixed in accordance with Article 2, and a price on entry into Portugal, calculated in accordance with Article 3. It shall be governed by the provisions of Articles 4 and 5. Article 2 1. The Portuguese representative price shall be fixed by Portugal. It shall be calculated: on the basis of the arithmetical mean of producer prices in Portugal plus packaging and transport costs from the production regions to the consumption centres representative of Portugal, taking into account the trend in production costs. The producer prices shall be those determined in accordance with Article 23 (3) of Regulation (EEC) N° 1035/72. 2. The transport costs referred to in paragraph 1 may be calculated at a standard rate. 3. The Portuguese representative price may not exceed the reference price applied with respect to third countries. Article 3 1. For the products for which a Portuguese representative price has been fixed, Portugal shall regularly monitor, for a product with defined commercial characteristics, the trend of average prices of products imported from the other Member States in accordance with the conditions laid down in Article 24 (1) of Regulation (EEC) N° 1035/72. 2. The price on entry into Portugal shall be calculated by Portugal each marketing day in Portugal, on the basis of the representative prices for imports from the other Member States, recorded at, or converted to, the import/wholesale stage. 3. The representative prices shall be determined in accordance with Article 24 (2) of Regulation (EEC) N° 1035/72. 4. The entry price shall be equal to the lowest representative price or to the average of the lowest representative prices recorded for at least 30 % of the quantities marketed on all the representative markets in Portugal for which prices are available, such price or prices being reduced first by: the customs duties in force, any corrective amount introduced in accordance with Article 4. Article 4 If the price on entry into Portugal calculated in accordance with Article 3 is less than the Portuguese representative price, a corrective amount equal to the difference between these two prices shall be charged on import into Portugal. Article 5 For the purposes of implementation of Article 4, the following procedure shall apply: 1.If the price on entry into Portugal remains at least ECU 0,6 below the Portuguese representative price for two consecutive marketing days, a corrective amount shall be introduced, save in exceptional cases. The corrective amount shall be equal to the difference between the Portuguese representative price and the arithmetic mean of the two latest prices on entry into Portugal available. 2.The corrective amount shall be the same amount for all imports from the other Member States and shall be added to the customs duties in force. It shall not be altered so long as a change in the factors in its calculation does not lead, after it is put into effect, to an adjustment in its amount of over ECU 1,2 for three consecutive marketing days. 3.The corrective amount shall be abolished where, from the time of actual application of that amount, prices on entry into Portugal are at least equal to the Portuguese representative price for two consecutive marketing days or if the prices are unavailable for six consecutive working days. It shall also be abolished if the application of paragraph 2 results in a corrective amount of zero. Article 6 1. Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 33 of Regulation (EEC) N° 1035/72. 2. A decision to introduce, adjust or abolish the corrective amount shall be taken by Portugal. 3. Portugal shall notify the Commission and the other Member States immediately, before they come into force, of the Portuguese representative prices, the corrective amounts and the information used in their calculation, and in particular the entry prices. The representative prices and the corrective amounts shall be subjected to control by the Commission before their entry into force. Article 7 Before 31 December 1992 and thereafter before the end of each year until the end of the second stage of the transition period, the Council shall review this Regulation on the basis of a report by the Commission accompanied, where appropriate, by proposals allowing the Regulation to be adapted to reflect trends in trade.
