determining for the Member States the estimated loss of income and the estimated level of the premium payable per ewe for 1983/84

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 of 27 June 1980 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1195/82 (2), and in particular Article 5 (2) and (8) thereof,

Whereas Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 provides for the grant of a premium to sheepmeat producers; whereas the estimated level of the said premium must be calculated at the beginning of the marketing year on the basis of the foreseeable loss of income;

Whereas, pursuant to Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2643/80 (3), the total premium is to be calculated by using as a reference point gross domestic production of sheepmeat recorded for the year prior to the current year for each region in question;

Whereas the method of calculation laid down, in Article 5 (2) and (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 shows that some regions have suffered a loss of income; whereas, accordingly, the estimated premium for those regions must be fixed;

Whereas the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
