laying down detailed rules for granting private storage aid for
sheepmeatandgoatmeat
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European EconomicCommunity,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25
September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheep-meat and goatmeat(
1), and in particular ►M2Article 7 (5) ◄and
28 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 of 11 June
1985 on the rates of exchange to be applied in agriculture(2), as last
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1636/87(3), and in particular Article
5 (3) and 12 thereof,
Whereas detailed rules for granting private storage aid for sheepmeat
and goatmeat must be adopted in addition to the general rules laiddown by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2644/80(
4);
Whereas, if it is to achieve its purpose, such aid should be granted only
to natural or legal persons established in the Community whose activ-ities and experience in the sector offer sufficient certainty that storagewill be effected in a satisfactory manner and who have adequate coldstorage capacity within the Community;
Whereas, for the same reason, aid should be granted only for the
storage of products in frozen condition, of sound and fair merchantablequality and of Community origin as defined by Commission Regulation(EEC) No 964/71(
5), witha level of radioactivity not exceeding th e
maximum levels permitted under Council Regulation (EEC) No 737/90 of 22 March1990 on th e conditions governing imports of agricul-
tural products originating in third countries following the accident at
the Chernobyl nuclear power station(

Whereas provision should be made to ensure that the animals involved
are slaughtered exclusively in slaughterhouses which are approved andsupervised in accordance withth e provisions of Council Directive 64/433/EEC(
7), as last amended by Directive 89/662/EEC(8);
Whereas, to make the scheme more effective, contracts must relate to a
certain minimum quantity, differentiated by product as appropriate, andthe obligations to be fulfilled by the contracting party, in particularthose enabling the intervention agency to make an effective inspectionof storage conditions, must be specified;
Whereas the amount of the security designed to ensure compliance
with the contractual obligations should be fixed at a percentage of theamount of the aid;
Whereas, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 of 22
July 1985 laying down common detailed rules for the application of thesystem of securities for agricultural products(
9), as last amended by
Regulation (EEC) No 3745/89(10), the primary requirements to be met
for the release of the security should be defined; whereas storing thecontracted quantity for the agreed period constitutes one of the primary1990R3446 — EN — 01.01.1994 — 001.001 — 2

requirements for the granting of private storage aid for sheepmeat and
goatmeat; whereas, to take account of commercial practice and forpractical reasons, a certain tolerance in respect of the said quantity
should be permitted;
Whereas a measure of proportionality should apply in the release of the
security and the granting of aid where certain requirements relating tothe quantities to be stored are not met;
Whereas, in order to improve the efficiency of the scheme, the
contracting party should be permitted to receive an advance paymentof aid subject to a security and rules should be laid down regardingthe submission of applications for aid, the supporting documents to be
produced and the time limit for payment;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85, it
should be specified that, in the case of private storage aid, the operativeevent to determine the amount of the security and the aid in nationalcurrency is the day of conclusion of the storage contract or the final
day for submission of tenders in response to an invitation to tender;
Whereas previous experience with other schemes for private storage of
agricultural products has shown the need to specify to what extentCouncil Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1182/71(
1) applies to the
determination of periods, dates and time limits referred to under such
schemes and to define precisely the dates when contractual storagebegins and ends;
Whereas, in particular, Article 3 (4) of Regulation (EEC, Euratom)
No 1182/71 specifies that where the last day of a period is a public
holiday, Sunday or Saturday, the period should end on the expiry of
the last hour of the following working day; whereas the application ofthis provision to storage contracts may not be in the interest of storersand may even result in inequality of treatment; whereas, therefore, aderogation should be made with regard to the determination of the last
day of storage under contract;
Whereas provision should be made for a measure of proportionality in
the granting of aid where the storage period is not fully observed;
Whereas Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2644/90 provides that
the amount of aid for private storage may be determined by means ofa tendering procedure; whereas in accordance with Article 7 (2) and (3)of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 the tendering procedure is applicablewhen certain market conditions are fulfilled; whereas invitations tosubmit tenders should result from Commission decisions taken in
accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30 of the same
Regulation; whereas Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 2644/80 contain rules to be observed in connection withth e tendering proce-dure; whereas, however, more detailed rules are necessary for thatpurpose;
Whereas the purpose of the tendering procedure is to determine the
amount of the aid; whereas, in the selection of successful tenderers,preference should be given to the tenders most advantageous for theCommunity; whereas, therefore, a maximum amount of aid may beset for which tenders would be accepted; whereas, if no tender is
acceptable, none need be accepted;
Whereas provision should be made for a system of checks to ensure
that aid is not granted unduly; whereas for this purpose the MemberStates should make checks appropriate to the various stages of storage;
Whereas steps should be taken to prevent and to penalize irregularities
and fraud; whereas for this purpose, it is appropriate to exclude in thecase of false declaration the contracting party from the granting of aidsfor private storage for six months following the detection of a falsedeclaration;1990R3446 — EN — 01.01.1994 — 001.001 — 3

Whereas, to give the Commission an overall view of the effect of the
private storage scheme, the Member States should supply it with thenecessary information;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2659/80 of 17 October
1980 laying down detailed rules for granting private storage aid for
sheepmeat and goatmeat(
1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC)
No 3496/88(2), has been amended substantially; whereas, now that
further amendments are to be made, the relevant legislation should beentirely recast; whereas, however, the new provisions should applyonly to private storage after the entry into force of this Regulation;
Whereas the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats has not
delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The grant of private storage aid, as provided for in Article 3 of Regula-
tion (EEC) No 3013/89, shall be subject to the conditions set out in thisRegulation.
