COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1095/95 of 15 May 1995 opening an invitation to tender for the fixing of an aid for the private storage in Ireland of carcases and half-carcases derived from young ovines (hoggets) more than twelve months old
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular Article 7 (2) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3446/90 of 27 November 1990 laying down detailed rules for granting private storage aid for sheepmeat and goatmeat (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3533/93 (4), lays down in particular detailed rules on invitations to tender;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3447/90 of 28 November 1990 on special conditions for the granting of private storage aid for sheepmeat and goatmeat (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 879/95 (6), lays down in particular the minimum quantities in respect of which a tender may be submitted;
Whereas the application of Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 may result in the opening of invitations to tender for private storage aid; whereas, in view of the market situation in the Community, it has been judged opportune to initiate such a procedure;
Whereas that Article provides for the application of these measures on the basis of the situation of each quotation zone; whereas it is appropriate to open the tender only in Ireland, taking into account the particularly difficult market situation in this Member State for one type of product corresponding to carcases derived from animals at least twelve months old; whereas it is therefore necessary, for that reason, to derogate from the provisions of Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3446/90;
Whereas the Management Committee for Sheep and Veal has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
