COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2000/87

of 7 July 1987

amending Regulation (EEC) No 788/86 fixing the free-at-Spanish-frontier values applicable to imports of certain cheeses originating in and consigned from Switzerland

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 Decision 86/559/EEC on the conclusion of the Agreements in the form of Exchanges of Letters between the European Economic Community and the Swiss Confederation concerning agriculture and fisheries (1), and in particular section I (a) in Exchange of Letters No 3,

Whereas the said section I (a) of the Exchange of letters states that Switzerland undertakes to observe where applicable a free-at-Spanish-frontier value for imports of certain cheeses originating in and consigned from its territory;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 788/86 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1927/86 (3), sets the free-at-Spanish-frontier values applicable to imports of certain cheeses originating in and consigned from Switzerland;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1949/87 (4) adopted the 'accession' compensatory amounts for milk and milk products applying to trade with Spain in the 1987/88 marketing year; whereas the corresponding adjustments should therefore be made in the free-at-Spanish-frontier values for imports of certain cheeses originating in and consigned from Switzerland;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
