Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3653/90 provided for dismantling over a period of 10 years from 1  January 1991 of the charges on imports from the other Member States into Portugal constituting the  mixed components intended to protect Portuguese cereal and rice processing; whereas, however, in  the case of rice the dismantling process provided for in Article 286  (3) of the Act of Accession  should continue to be applicable;
Whereas the base amounts to be adopted for dismantling or approximation are those set by Council  Regulation (EEC) No 2744/75 of 29 October 1975 on the import and export system for products  processed
from cereals and from rice  (6), as last a mended by Regulation (EEC) No 1906/87  (7),  and those listed in Annex XXIV to the Act of Accession;
Whereas pursuant to Article 287 of the Act of Accession the gap between the fixed components  applied in Portugal during the first stage of accession and those forming part of the charge on  imports from third countries are to be reduced on 1 January 1991 to 83,3  % of the previous amount;  whereas it is this new gap that should be used in determining the fixed components applicable in  Portugal;
Whereas the fixed components are an import charge forming part of the import levy; whereas from 1  January 1991 the levy applicable in the Community also applies in Portugal; whereas the provisions  of Article 287 of the Act of Accession require that the residual gap between the fixed components  applicable in Portugal and those applicable in the Community be fixed, this new gap being added to  the levy applicable in Portugal to imports from third countries;
Whereas, however, both Council Regulation (EEC) No 715/90 of 5 March 1990 on the arrangements  applicable to agricultural products and certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural  products originating in the ACP States or in the overseas countries and territories (OCT)  (8) and  Council Regulation (EEC) No 3877/86 of 16 December 1986 on imports of rice of the long-grain  aromatic Basmati variety of CN codes 1006  10, 1006  20 and 1006  30  (9), apply to Portuguese  imports of the products to which they relate;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Management Committee for Cereals,
Dismantling of the fixed components  mentioned in Article 273 of the Act of Accession intended to protect processing of cereals and rice  shall, where intra-Community trade is concerned, be effected from 1 January 1991:
-  for products made from cereals, in 10 equal stages of 10  %, or more if necessary to prevent the  protection applicable in trade between Portugal and the other Member States from exceeding that  applicable in trade between Portugal and third countries,
-for products made from rice, as provided for in Article 286  (3) of the Act of Accession.
1.    On importation into Portugal from other Member States of products covered by  Regulations (EEC) No 2727/75 and (EEC) No 1418/76 a component intended to protect processing in  Portugal shall be charged of an amount indicated in column 3 of the Annex to this Regulation.

The levy applied on importation into Portugal of products listed in Annex XXIV to the Act of  Accession from third countries shall, without prejudice to Articles 12 and 14 of Regulation (EEC)  No 715/90 or to Regulation (EEC) No 3877/86, be increased by the amount shown in column 4 of the  Annex to this Regulation.
3.    The amounts indicated in the Annex shall be valid from 1 January to 31 December 1991.  Artikel 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1991.
