COUNCIL DECISION of 25 July 1996 repealing Decision 94/939/EC providing further macro-financial assistance for the Slovak Republic (96/464/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas, by Decision 94/939/EC (3), the Council approved further macro-financial assistance for the Slovak Republic of up to ECU 130 million in the form of a medium-term loan facility;
Whereas, however, the Commission and the Slovak authorities have not made sufficient progress in agreeing on the economic policy conditions to be attached to this facility;
Whereas the mid-term review of the economic programme agreed between the Slovak Government and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and supported by a 'stand-by arrangement` has not been completed; whereas discussions between the Slovak authorities and the World Bank on an enterprise and financial sector adjustment loan have been discounted;
Whereas the balance of payments situation and foreign exchange reserve position of the Slovak Republic have strengthened substantially, as has also the Slovak Republic's access to the international private capital markets;
Whereas the strengthening of the country's external financial position has allowed the Slovak Republic to stop making purchases under the 'stand-by arrangement` approved by the IMF on 22 July 1994;
Whereas, in these circumstances, there are no longer any grounds for the implementation of Community macro-financial assistance for the Slovak Republic; whereas this assistance should therefore be discontinued;
Whereas the Treaty does not provide, for the adoption of this Decision, powers other than those of Article 235,
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
Sole Article
Decision 94/939/EC is hereby repealed.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 of 2 August 1978 laying down general rules for the financing of interventions by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 787/89 (2), and in particular Articles 6 and 9 thereof,
Whereas Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 provides that material operations arising from the storage and, where appropriate, from the processing of intervention products are to be financed by standard amounts uniform throughout the Community;
Whereas work on which the material operations are based has recently been examined and whereas it is necessary to define such operations so that they may be taken fully into account in the calculation of the standard amounts;
Whereas the real costs recorded for material operations in the various Member States differ to such an extent that a new rule for the weighting of such costs excluding the highest costs and providing an incentive for a better and economical management must be laid down;
Whereas the method for calculating the standard amounts must consequently take into account this new weighting;
Whereas the EAGGF Committee has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by the chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The standard amounts referred to in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 are established on the basis of the weighted average of the real costs recorded during a reference period in at least four Member States for the relevant material operations, as defined in the Annexes hereto.
The reference period shall be the year expiring before the date of fixing of a standard amount.
Article 2
The weighted average of the real costs shall be established by selecting the four Member States with the lowest real costs for a given material operation if the latter correspond to at least 33 % of the total stored quantities of the product in question. Otherwise, the real costs of other Member States shall be included in the weighting until the percentage attains 33 % of the stored quantities.
The real costs shall be weighted on the basis of the quantities stored by the Member States selected.
If a given product may be found in public storage in one or two Member States only, the relevant standard amounts for this product shall be determined on the basis of the real costs recorded. However, commercial storage rates in use for those products and in those Member States may be taken into account when the standard amounts are fixed.
Article 3
Each intervention agency shall forward to the Commission the standard contracts used for public storage and the detailed rules on taking over, storage, removal from store and controls.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 12 June 1989.
