Whereas Portugal has made a request for an increase of 150 tonnes in the quota level for frozen fillets of hake of the genus Merluccius spp., frozen, for the 1988 fishing year; whereas it is therefore necessary to modify the quota level in question as well as the quarterly instalments;

Whereas in accordance with Article 363 (1) of the Act of Accession, Portugal can maintain, with regard to third countries, quantitative restrictions for certain products; whereas Portugal has introduced a request aimed at the abolition of quantitative restrictions for frozen squid and Illex spp.; whereas there are grounds, consequently, for abolishing the quota in respect of these species as well as the quarterly instalments set out in Regulation (EEC) No 4122/87;
