THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30 June 1992 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2467/92 (2), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3540/85 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1734/92 (4), lays down detailed rules for the application of special measures for peas, field beans and sweet lupins; whereas Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 3540/85 requires Member States to issue a certificate of purchase at the minimum price after having carried out the necessary verification; whereas Article 13 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3540/85 provides for a term of validity of the advance-fixing part of the certificate provided for in Article 6 (4) in Regulation (EEC) No 2036/82 (5), as last amended by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2206/90 (6), shall run for six months from the month following that during which the application was submitted; whereas Article 19 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3540/85 lays down an obligation actually to use the products within the meaning of Article 9 within seven months of the last day in the month in which the application for identification was lodged; whereas Article 22 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3540/85 contains provisions for the submission of processing declarations by approved bodies;
Whereas the support system introduced by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 replaces the provisions for peas, field beans and sweet lupins; whereas, in order to avoid any risk of interference between the two support systems, the closing date for requests for certificates of purchase at the minimum price needs to be set at 21 May 1993, advance fixing of the aid for peas, field beans and sweet lupins must be suspended for the months from and including July 1993, identification must be discontinued as from 1 July 1993 and the obligation to use the products in question must have been complied with by 30 November 1993; whereas arrangements should be made for processing declarations to be forwarded in July 1993; whereas such declarations shall, pursuant to Article 9 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2036/82, be eligible to receive the aid applicable on the day by which the declaration is lodged;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Dried Fodder,
