No L 32/30 Official Journal of the European Communities 8.2. 92 COMMISSION DECISION of 18 December 1991 on transitional measures applicable to Portuguese imports from other Member States of products of the pigmeat, egg and poultrymeat sectors (Only the Portuguese text is authentic) (92/87/EEC) 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 257 thereof, Whereas Commission Decision (EEC) No 90/671 (') authorized Portugal to apply in 1991, as necessary, a special duty on imports of pigmeat, eggs and poultrymeat from other Member States in order to enable the neces- sary adjustments to be made to the application of common organization arrangements in those sectors which in Portugal are faced with serious structural problems ; whereas such common organization arrange- ments have, since the beginning of the second stage, involved the abolition of all protection of the Portuguese market from competition from other Member States and accordingly made it inappropriate to extend the adjust- - ments provided for in the Act of Accession; Whereas such adjustments have not yet been completed and would be seriously impeded by an excessively swift abolition of the said authorization whereas it is therefore appropriate to authorize Portugal to apply until 31 December 1992 a duty equal to half the duty provided for in respect of 1991; () OJ No L 366, 29. 12. 1990, p. 60. Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committees for Pigmeat, and for Eggs and Poultrymeat, HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION : Article 1 The Portuguese Republic is hereby authorized to apply from 1 January to 31 December 1992 special duties, the amounts of which are set out in Annexes I and I, on imports from other Member States of the products listed in these Annexes.
