COMMISSIONREGULATION(EEC)No1643/89
of12June1989
defining the standard amounts to be used for financing material
operationsarisingfromthepublicstorageofagriculturalproducts
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European EconomicCommunity,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 of 2 August
1978 laying down general rules for the financing of interventions bythe European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, GuaranteeSection (
1), as lastamended by Regulat ion (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 stan-dard 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 sothat they may be taken fully into account in the calculation of the stan-
dard 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 conse-
quently 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 ofthe 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 1a
The standard amounts shall be converted into national currency using
the agricultural conversion rate applicable on the first day of the
EAGGF Guarantee Section financial year, concerning the publicstorage expenses.
For the 1991 financial year, however, the agricultural conversion rate
to be used shall be that applicable on 17 December 1990.
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 materialoperation if the latter correspond to at least 33 % of the total stored1989R1643 — EN — 05.02.1991 — 001.001 — 2

quantities of the product in question. Otherwise, the real costs of other
Member States shall be included in the weighting until the percentageattains 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 productshall be determined on the basis of the real costs recorded. However,commercial storage rates in use for those products and in thoseMember 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.1989R1643 — EN — 05.02.1991 — 001.001 — 3
