COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1047/89
of 21 April 1989
fixing the quotas for 1989 to be opened by Portugal for certain wine-sector products from third countries
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4007/87 (1), and in particular Article 257 (1) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3797/85 of 20 December 1985 laying down detailed rules concerning quantitative restrictions on imports into Portugal from third countries of certain agricultural products subject to the system of transition by stages (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88 (3), and in particular Article 3 (1) thereof,
Whereas Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3797/85, provides for the application by Portugal of quantitative restrictions for certain wine-sector products in the form of annual quotas to imports from third countries; whereas the quotas should be fixed for 1989 taking account of the progressive increase in quotas in previous years and in trade recorded; whereas an increase of 10% in the quota fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 911/88 (4) seems adequate for 1988;
Whereas in the period 1 January to 31 December 1989 Portugal may import wine-sector products from third countries in excess of the quotas fixed for 1989 in order to ensure market balance in the wine sector in Portugal following the current shortage in this sector;
Whereas provision should be made for the Commission to be notified of imports of the said products into Portugal under the quotas fixed, of authorized overruns in the latter for 1989 and of the measures adopted by that Member State to apply those quotas;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
