COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 4067/87
of 22 December 1987
fixing, for 1988, the quota applicable to imports into Portugal of oil cake from third countries
THE COUNCIL 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 234 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 245 of the Act of Accession states that the Portuguese Republic may, until 31 December 1992, apply quantitative restrictions to the importation from third countries of the products listed in Annex XXI, including oil cake;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 167/87 of 19 January 1987 fixing, for 1987, the quota applicable to imports into Portugal of oil cake from third countries (1) fixed the initial quota at 126 500 tonnes; whereas this quantity should be increased for 1988 by the minimum rate of 15 % provided for in Article 245 (3) of the Act of Accession;
Whereas this Regulation applies to all third countries, without prejudice, however, to the protocols to be concluded with preferential third countries as provided for in Article 366 of the Act, or to transitional measures as specified in Article 367 thereof; whereas it should, however, be specified that quantities resulting from quantitative restrictions fixed as a result of application of these Articles are included in those fixed for third countries by this Regulation,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
