COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) N° 3641/90 of 11 December 1990 amending Regulation (EEC) N° 804/68 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products

THE COUNCIL 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 234 (2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas Article 5c of Council Regulation (EEC) N° 804/68(1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 3117/90(2), fixes for each Member State, a guaranteed total quantity of milk which the sum of the individual reference quantities may not exceed; whereas, in order for Portugal to be able to apply in its territory, as from 1991, the additional levy scheme in the milk sector introduced by Article 5c of the said Regulation, the guaranteed total quantity necessary for the scheme to be applied should be fixed for that Member State bearing in mind the specific features of its structures, the need to allow for an increase in its production and the fact that measures should be envisaged with a view to the promotion, in Portugal, of a change in the consumption of milk and milk products so that it attains the average level obtaining in the Community;

Whereas the administrative requirements with which Portugal is faced justify the scheme in question being applied only as from 1 April 1991,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
