Whereas in application of Articles 2, 3 and 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 it is necessary to determine for the eggs and poultrymeat sectors and for the 1996/97 marketing year, on the one hand, the quantities of meat and eggs of the forecast supply balance which benefit from an exemption from the duty on imports from third countries or from an aid for deliveries originating in the rest of the Community, and on the other hand, the quantities of breeding material originating in the Community which benefit from an aid with a view to developing the potential for production in the archipelago of the Canaries;
Whereas it is appropriate to fix the amounts of the aids referred to above for the supply to the archipelago, on the one hand, in meat and eggs, and, on the other hand, of breeding materials originating in the rest of the Community; whereas these aids must be fixed taking into account in particular the costs of supply from the world market, conditions due to the geographical situation of the archipelago and the basis of the current prices on export to third countries for the animals or products concerned;
Whereas the common detailed implementing rules for the supply regime for the Canary Islands for certain agricultural products were laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2790/94 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2883/94 (4); whereas, in the interests of clarity, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1608/95 of 3 July 1995, adopting the balance and fixing the aid for the supply of products from the eggs and poultrymeat sectors to the Canary Islands under the arrangements provided for in Articles 2, 3 and 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 should be repeated (5);
