Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1340/90 (2),

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 of 21 June 1976 on the common organization of the market in rice (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1806/89 (4),

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3653/90 provided for dismantling over a period of 10 years from 1 January 1991 of the charges on imports from the other Member States into Portugal constituting the mixed components intended to protect Portuguese cereal and rice processing; whereas, however, in the case of rice the dismantling process provided for in Article 286 (3) of the Act of Accession should continue to be applicable;

Whereas the base amounts to be adopted for dismantling or approximation are those set by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2744/75 of 29 October 1975 on the import and export system for products processed

from cereals and from rice (6), as last a mended by Regulation (EEC) No 1906/87 (7), and those listed in Annex XXIV to the Act of Accession;

Whereas the fixed components are an import charge forming part of the import levy; whereas from 1 January 1991 the levy applicable in the Community also applies in Portugal; whereas the provisions of Article 287 of the Act of Accession require that the residual gap between the fixed components applicable in Portugal and those applicable in the Community be fixed, this new gap being added to the levy applicable in Portugal to imports from third countries;
