COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 804/86

of 18 March 1986

amending Regulation (EEC) No 137/79 on the institution of a special method of administrative cooperation for applying intra-Community treatment to the fishery catches of vessels of Member States

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 Articles 27 and 396 thereof,

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 137/79 (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3415/85 (2), lays down, inter alia, that vessels registered in the Canary Islands or Ceuta and Melilla shall not be considered as vessels of a Member State and shall not be entitled to receive booklets of T2M forms,

Whereas the scope of that provision requires further clarification, given the definition of the term 'originating products' and the method of administrative cooperation applicable between the customs territory of the Community and Ceuta and Melilla and the Canary Islands,

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 137/79 should be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
