abolishing certain Portuguese import quotas in the eggs and poultrymeat sector on products from Spain fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 4009/87

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 3792/85 of 20 December 1985 laying down the arrangements applying to trade in agricultural products between Spain and Portugal (1), amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88 (2), and in particular Article 13 thereof,

Whereas Portuguese import quotas for 1988 on certain eggs and poultrymeat sector products from Spain were set by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 4009/87 (3);

Whereas under Article 4 (4) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 3792/85 these quotas are added to the quotas determined under Article 269 of the Act of Accession and Article 269 (2) (d) applies to the combined quotas; whereas consequently the quantitative restrictions in force in Portugal against Spanish products are abolished if imports into Portugal from the other Member States are in two consecutive years less than 90 % of the total annual quotas opened; whereas final import statistics show that for turkey and chicken chicks and for certain eggs in shell this percentage was not reached in either 1986 or 1987; whereas the quotas for these products should therefore be abolished;

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