Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3814/90 (2) lays down the accession compensatory amounts for milk and milk products applicable from 1 January 1991 in trade between Spain and Portugal; whereas, as regards trade in whey, an accession compensatory amount calculated on the basis of the value of the raw material used in the manufacture of cheese was fixed; whereas the market prices notified subsequently by Portugal show that in actual fact those prices are at the level of the price in the Community of Ten and that accordingly an accession compensatory amount should not be laid down; whereas a similar decision cannot be taken for lactose in view of the difference in price between Spain and Portugal; whereas, accordingly, the amount currently applicable in trade between Spain and the Community of Ten should be fixed between those two Member States; whereas the two abovementioned amendments should be made applicable from 1 January 1991;

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