amending Regulation (EEC) No 805/86 introducing a charge on denatured skimmed-milk powder coming from Spain and derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 1378/86 as regards the accession compensatory amounts in trade with Spain

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 Article 90 (1) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 466/86 of 25 February 1986 determining the general rules for the system of accession compensatory amounts for milk and milk products on account of the accession of Spain (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,

Whereas, in order to prevent quantities of skimmed-milk powder imported into Spain and denatured, in accordance with the provisions in force in Spain, before 1 March 1986 from being re-exported on abnormally advantageous terms a charge on exports of that product was introduced by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 805/86 (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3956/86 (3); whereas, for the same reasons, the application of the said Regulation should be extended to milk powder, regardless of its fat content;

Whereas in order to prevent speculation in the product covered by this Regulation the latter's provisions should be introduced as a matter of urgency;

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