COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 3060/94 of 15 December 1994 fixing the quotas applying to imports into Spain of beef and veal products from third countries

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 491/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down rules for the application of quantitative restrictions on imports into Spain of certain agricultural products from third countries (1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3296/88 (2), and in particular Articles 1 (3) and 3 thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 77 of the Act of Accession, Spain may, until 31 December 1985, apply quantitative restrictions on imports from third countries; whereas the said restrictions concern products which are subject to the supplementary trade mechanism in the case of beef and veal; whereas the initial quotas in volume were fixed in respect of each product or group of products by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1870/86 (3);

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3831/92 of 28 December 1992 amending Regulation (EEC) No 816/89 establishing the list of products subject to the supplementary trade mechanism in the fruit and vegetables sector and determining the products which, in the case of deliveries to Spain, remain subject to that mechanism, restricts to live bovine animals the application of the STM in the beef and veal sector (4);

Whereas, in order to reflect changes in the indicative ceilings for imports from the rest of the Community, the quota of live animals which may be imported from third countries must be substantially increased;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
