COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 470/91 of 27 February 1991 on the temporary suspension of the system of accession compensatory amounts for common feed wheat
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Tready establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 257 thereof, [and to Regulation (EEC) No 4007/87 standing the period referred to in Articles 90 (1) and 257 (1) of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3836/90 (2)],
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90 (4), and in particular Article 7 (6) thereof,
Whereas market prices for maize are very high throughout the Community owing to the shortage of supplies following the drought in the summer of 1990; whereas the shortage of maize is offset by the availability of large quantities of common wheat; whereas, however, as regards Portugal, given the difference between the price for common wheat and for other feed grain, the substitution of common wheat for maize in feedingstuffs in Portugal cannot take place under comparable economic conditions to those in the other Member States; whereas this may be counteracted by temporarily suspending the system of accession compensatory amounts for consignments of common wheat that have undergone a treatment which makes the grain unsuitable for human consumption;
Whereas, so as to avoid any deflection of trade, the consignments of treated common wheat should be excluded from intervention and from grant of accession compensatory amounts on export;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1
In the period from the date of entry into force of this Regulation until 30 April 1991, trade in common wheat (CN code 1001 90 99) between Portugal and the other Member States shall not be subject to the system of succession compensatory amounts referred to in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3654/90 (5) provided the cereals in question have been treated using one of the methods set out in the Annex hereto. Article 2
Consignments of cereals showing traces of one of the products used to treat common wheat set out in the Annex may not:
- be accepted for the intervention laid down in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75,
- benefit from accession compensatory amounts on export. Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 27 February 1991.
