COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3890/86

of 19 December 1986

amending Regulation (EEC) No 637/86 fixing the quantitative restrictions on imports into Portugal of certain fruit and vegetables from third countries

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,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3797/85 of 20 December 1985 laying down detailed rules concerning quantitative restrictions on imports into Portugal from third countries of certain agricultural products subject to the system of transition by stages (1), and in particular Article 3 (1) thereof,

Whereas Article 280 of the Act of Accession provides that Portugal may maintain quantitative restrictions on imports from third countries of certain agricultural products mentioned above until 31 December 1995; whereas, pursuant to the detailed rules laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 3797/85, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 637/86 (2) fixes in particular the initial quotas for 1986;

Whereas an increase of 10 % in those initial quotas is not likely to cause disturbances on the Portuguese market; whereas the quotas for 1987 should therefore be fixed accordingly;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EEC) No 637/86 is hereby amended as follows:

1. Article 1 is amended as follows:

- paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:

'1. The quotas which, pursuant to Article 280 of the Act of Accession, the Portuguese Republic may apply in respect of imports of fresh fruit and vegetables from third countries for 1987 shall be as shown in the Annex hereto.';

- paragraph 2 is deleted.

2. The Annex is replaced by the Annex hereto.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1987.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 19 December 1986.
