COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 894/93 of 16 April 1993 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3810/91 with regard to the list of products subject to the supplementary trade mechanism (STM) for trade with Portugal in the beef and veal sector

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 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3817/92 of 28 December 1992 laying down general rules for applying the supplementary trade mechanism to imports into Spain of products other than fruit and vegetables (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 744/93 of 17 March 1993 laying down general rules for applying the supplementary trade mechanism to deliveries in Portugal of products other than fruit and vegetables (2), applies Regulation (EEC) No 3817/92 to imports into Portugal of products other than fruit and vegetables;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3810/91 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3826/92 (4), lays down the detailed rules for the application of the supplementary trade mechanism to trade in the beef and veal sector and, in particular for 1993, the indicative ceilings for certain groups of products which can be imported into Portugal from the Community as constituted on 31 December 1985; whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 743/93 of 17 March 1993 on the list of products subject to the supplementary trade mechanism and exported to Portugal restricts from 1 April 1993, for deliveries to Portugal (5), the application of the STM in the beef and veal sector to live bovine animals; whereas, therefore, the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3810/91 should be amended for Portugal;

Whereas Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3817/92 lays down that the issue of STM licences need not necessarily be subject to the lodging of a security; whereas that possibility was provided, in particular, to facilitate trade in the products concerned; whereas use should be made of that possibility to lay down that no security need be lodged when applications for the STM licences concerned are submitted;

Whereas the same rules of application should be applied for deliveries to Portugal as for deliveries to Spain; whereas the rules of application for deliveries to Spain are laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3829/92 (6);

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:
