COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 901/87

of 30 March 1987

on the issue of supplementary trade mechanism (STM) licences for certain floriculture products

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 569/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down general rules for the application of the supplementary mechanism applicable to trade (1),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 643/86 of 28 February 1986 laying down detailed rules for the application for the supplementary trade mechanism to the live plants and floriculture products listed in Annex XXII to the Act of Accession and imported into Portugal (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3848/86 (3), and in particular Article 2 (2) thereof,

Whereas Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 643/86 laid down that, in the case of products for which there is a particular need to monitor the issue of STM licences in order to determine the likelihood of the indicative ceilings being exceeded, the Commission may decide that the licences are to be issued in accordance with the provisions of the first subparagraph of Article 6 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 574/86 (4) on the fifth day following the day the application is submitted, unless special measures have been taken during this period; whereas there is a likelihood of the indicative ceilings being exceeded in respect of rose bushes falling within subheading 06.02 ex D of the Common Customs Tariff; whereas, therefore the STM licences should be issued in accordance with the provisions of the first subparagraph of the said Article 6 (2),
