Whereas, in the case of Portugal, in order to facilitate the setting-up and recognition of producer organization in time for the 1988/89 marketing year, provision should be made for transitional measures under which organizations which do not yet have the structure provided for in Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1226/89 (6), can obtain provisional recognition;
