COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3635/91 of 13 December 1991 amending Regulation (EEC) No 643/86 laying down detailed rules for the application of the supplementary trade mechanism to the live plants and floriculture products listed in Annex XXII to the Act of Accession and imported into Portugal concerning the target ceilings for the year 1992

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 251 (1) and (2) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 569/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down general rules for the application of the supplementary mechanism applicable to trade (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3296/88 (2), and in particular Article 7 (1) thereof,

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3792/85 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3296/88, lays down the arrangements applying to trade in agricultural products between Spain and Portugal; whereas in view of Article 5 (2), the abovementioned arrangements also apply to the products concerned originating from Spain, as of 1 January 1991;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 574/86 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3296/88, lays down detailed rules for the application of the supplementary trade mechanism;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 643/86 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1316/91 (6), fixes in particular the target ceilings provided for in Article 251 (1) of the Act of Accession for certain floricultural products falling within CN codes 0602, 0603 and 0604 for the year 1991;

Whereas, in accordance with Article 251 (2) of the Act of Accession, the target ceilings must reflect a certain progress in relation to traditional trade flows so as to ensure a harmonious and gradual opening-up of the market; whereas, to that end, the target ceilings for ornamental plants, roses, carnations and Asparagus plumosus and those for rose bushes should be increased for 1992;

Whereas, in view of experience gained during the six years of application of those arrangements, provision should be made, in order to ensure stability on the Portuguese market, for a seasonal break-down of the ceilings for certain of those products and for their adjustment to seasonal variations in Portuguese production;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Live Plants,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
