THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

thereof,

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3659/90 provides that the supplementary trade mechanism is to apply during the second stage in accordance with the conditions laid down in Articles 250, 251 and 252 of the Act of Accession; whereas, in the case of the products falling within CN codes 1001 90 99, 1003 00 90 and 1005 90 00, the mechanism is to apply during periods which are sensitive as regards the marketing of Portuguese production; whereas those periods must be determined for each of the cereals in question taking account of the period of harvest;

Whereas the Portuguese maize production from the 1992/93 marketing year may be considered disposed of; whereas, under these circumstances, imports of maize into Portugal should not continue to be subject to the supplementary trade mechanism; whereas certain licences still valid have not been able to be used; whereas the securities lodged when the applications for those STM licences were submitted should accordingly be released on application by the parties concerned;

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