COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 4010/87
of 22 December 1987
fixing, for 1988, the quotas for imports into Portugal of certain egg and poultrymeat products from third countries and certain detailed rules for the application thereof
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 257 thereof,
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 thereof,
Whereas, as a result of an error of substance, the correction of which is being considered, the Act of Accession does not provide for the application of quantitative restrictions on imports into Portugal of products falling within subheadig 0407 00 30 of the Combined Nomenclature from third countries; whereas, pending the correction referred to above, Regulation (EEC) No 618/86 of the Commission (2), amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1996/86 (3), provides for such restrictions as transitional measures until 31 December 1987; whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 4007/87 (4) extended the period referred to in Article 257 of the Act until 31 December 1990; whereas a quota may therefore be fixed for 1988;
Whereas the initial quotas for imports into Portugal of certain egg and poultrymeat products from third countries are set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 618/86; whereas the quotas for 1988 should be fixed by applying the minimum annual rate of increase of 10 % provided for in Article 4 of that Regulation;
Whereas detailed rules should be drawn up for the implementation of these provisions to be analogous to those laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 618/86;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Eggs and Poultrymeat,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The quotas for 1988 that the Portuguese Republic may apply to imports of certain egg and poultrymeat products from third countries, shall be as shown in the Annex hereto.
Article 2
Save as otherwise provided in this Regulation, Articles 3, 4 and 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 618/86 apply to the quotas referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation. However, the second indent of Article 3, paragraph 1 of that Regulation is hereby repealed.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 January 1988.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 22 December 1987.
