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 85 (3) 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 Commission Regulation (EEC) No 4026/89 of 22 December 1989 laying down detailed rules for the application of the supplementary trade mechanism in the beef and veal sector between the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985 and Spain (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3125/91 (4), sets the annual indicative ceiling for imports into Spain of certain beef and veal products;

Whereas STM licences issued in response to applications lodged from 28 October to 1 November 1991 and 18 to 24 November 1991 have exhausted that fraction of the indicative ceiling set aside for the fourth quarter of 1991 for live animals;

Whereas the Commission accordingly adopted, by an emergency procedure, appropriate interim protective measures by Regulations (EEC) No 3253/91 (5) and (EEC) No 3495/91 (6); whereas definitive measures must be adopted; whereas, in view of the situation of the market in Spain, an increase in the indicative ceiling cannot be contemplated;

Whereas, as a definitive measure as referred to in Article 85 (3) of the Act of Accession, the issue of STM licences should be definitively discontinued in order to prevent any disturbance on the Spanish market;

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:
