Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Decision 90/424/EEC of 26 June 1990 on expenditure in the veterinary field (1) and in particular Article 43 (1) thereof,

Whereas cases of African horse sickness have been occurring in Portugal from September 1989 onwards; whereas recourse to vaccination against African horse sickness by the Portuguese authorities must be considered as a necessary means of combating this disease;

Whereas, in the circumstances, the Community should make a financial contribution to the vaccination measures carried out by the Portuguese authorities;

Whereas under the arrangements introduced by Decision 90/424/EEC and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 43 (1) thereof, the Community's financial contribution must be limited to the vaccination operations carried out between 1 September 1989 and 30 November 1990;

Whereas the Portuguese authorities should send to the Commission full details relating to the vaccination operations during the period in question;

Whereas it seems reasonable for the Community to bear 100 % of the cost of supply of the vaccine and 50 % of the costs incurred in carrying out the vaccination;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Portugal may obtain a financial contribution from the Community for the vaccination measures against African horse sickness carried out between 1 September 1989 and 30 November 1990.

COMMISSION DECISION of 28 June 1991 authorizing the Italian Republic to apply intra-Community surveillance in respect of bananas originating in certain third countries and put into free circulation in the other Member States (Only the Italian text is authentic) (91/377/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular the first paragraph of Article 115 thereof,

Having regard to Commission Decision 87/433/EEC of 22 July 1987, on surveillance and protective measures which Member States may be authorized to take pursuant to Article 115 of the EEC Treaty (1), and in particular Articles 1, 2 and 5 thereof;

Whereas on 12 June 1991, the Italian Government applied for authorization to apply intra-Community surveillance to imports of bananas falling within CN code 0803 00 10 originating in certain third countries other than the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) States (2) and put into free circulation in the other Member States;

Whereas the Italian Government has stated that the circumstances which led the Commission to adopt intra-Community surveillance measures in the past still prevail, namely the need to ensure the effectiveness of the commercial policy measures which Italy applied in respect of direct imports of fresh bananas originating in certain third countries other than the ACP States in order to attain the objective laid down in Protocol 5 to the Lomé Convention;

Whereas, as indicated by the Italian Govemment, in view of the serious domestic crisis in Somalia, which is disrupting exports of bananas to the Italian market from this traditional ACP supplier, imports of bananas from the dollar zone, direct or from other Member States, need to be controlled in order to ensure that the objectives of the Protocol referred to above are achieved;

Whereas, without prejudice of a later examination of the situation, it is therefore necessary to authorize the Italian republic to apply intra-Community surveillance until 30 June 1992 to imports of the products in question,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Italian Republic is hereby authorized to apply intra-Community surveillance until 30 June 1992 to imports of bananas falling within CN code 0803 00 10 originating in the third countries listed in the Annex and put into free circulation in the other Member States, in accordance with Decision 87/433/EEC.

This decision is addressed to the Italian Republic. Done at Brussels, 28 June 1991. For the Commission

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3730/87 of 10 December 1987 laying down the general rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks to the most deprived persons in the Community (1),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3744/87 of 14 December 1987 laying down the detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks to the most deprived persons in the Community (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 583/91 (3), and in particular Article 2 (3) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 of 11 June 1985 on the value of the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2205/90 (5), and in particular Article 2 (4) thereof,

Whereas on 19 Spetember 1991, France requested Commission authorization to initiate already in 1991 the action on its territory to be financed by resources chargeable to the 1992 budget and indicated the quantities of produce that it wished to distribute; whereas it is desirable to initiate the scheme now in France by making an allocation to that country; whereas this allocation shall not exceed 50 % of the resources allocated by Commission decision to France in respect of the plan for 1991;

Whereas in order to facilitate the implementation of this scheme it is necessary to specify the rate of exchange to be employed in converting the ecu into the national currency and to do so at a rate which reflects economic reality,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

1. The allocation for France of the appropriations referred to in Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3744/87 to be charged to the 1992 budget shall be ECU 13 907 000.

COMMISSION DECISION of 4 October 1991 approving the French programme of agricultural income aid for farmers in general (91/553/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) N° 768/89 of 21 March 1989 establishing a system of transitional aids to agricultural income (1), and in particular Article 7 (3) thereof,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) N° 3813/89 of 19 December 1989 laying down detailed rules for the application of transitional aids to agricultural income (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 1110/91 (3), and in particular Article 10 (3) thereof,

Whereas France has notified the Commission of its intention to introduce a programme of agricultural income aid for farmers in general; whereas the Commission approved this programme by Decision 96/606/EEC (4);

Whereas on 15 July 1991 France notified the Commission that the actual demand for support under the programme was higher than initially anticipated; whereas the increase provided for in the total amount of aid remains within the limits set by Community law; whereas, therefore, it seems appropriate to authorize the envisaged change and the increase in the sums eligible for Community finance which the authorization implies;

Whereas at the same time France notified certain adjustments to the rules of application of the programme;

Whereas these increase and adjustments do not change the substance of the approval Decision 90/606/EEC; whereas for reasons of legal clarity it seems nevertheless appropriate to take a new approval decision;

Whereas on 19 September 1991, the Management Committee for Agricultural Income Aids was consulted on the measures provided for in this Decision;

Whereas on 19 September 1991, the Management Committee was consulted on the maximum amounts that may be charged annually to the Community budget as a result of adopting this Decision,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The programme of agricultural income aid notified to the Commission by France on 12 June 1990, as amended by the communication of 15 July 1991, is hereby approved.

Article 2

The maximum amounts that may be charged annually to the Community budget as a result of this Decision shall be as follows:

>TABLE>

Article 3

Commission Decision 90/606/EEC is hereby revoked. However, any request for aid submitted to the French authorities prior to notification of this Decision may be examined under the conditions provided for in the programme notified on 12 June 1990.
