COMMISSION DECISION of 22 April 1994 on the regionalization plan submitted by Portugal under Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (Only the Portuguese text is authentic) (94/286/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 of 30 June 1992 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 232/94 (2), and in particular Article 16 thereof,

Whereas, on 30 September 1992, Portugal submitted a regionalization plan to the Commission in accordance with Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92; whereas, pursuant to Commission Decision 93/121/EEC of 23 December 1992 on the regionalization plan submitted by Portugal under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (3), Portugal revised the plan; whereas a new plan was submitted to the Commission on 21 March 1994;

Whereas an examination of the revised plan shows that Portugal has retained the criteria previously used for regions in the southern part of the country resulting in the allocation, in accordance with a pre-established national classification of soils, of a specific yield to each holding on the basis of the areas it comprises and for which a compensatory payment has been applied for; whereas as a consequence the plan does not result in the establishment of distinctive homogenous production zones in the regions in question; whereas it does not, therefore, meet the criteria laid down in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92;

Whereas, however, in view of the work completed for the 1994 harvest, its applications for the 1994/95 marketing year should be permitted;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Joint Management Committee for Cereals, Oils and Fats and Dried Fodder,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

1. For the 1994/95 marketing year, Portugal may apply, in regions in the southern part of the country and by way of a transitional measure, the regionalization plan notified to the Commission on 21 March 1994 based on the same criteria for the classification of land as used for the establishment of the regionalization plan for the 1993/94 marketing year.

2. For the 1995/96 marketing year, the Portuguese Republic shall submit before 31 July 1994 a plan revising the methods referred to in paragraph 1 in accordance with Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92.

Article 2

The Community shall not be liable financially should expenditure exceed that arising from the application of this Decision.

Article 3

This Decision is addressed to the Portuguese Republic.

Having regard to Council Directive 91/494/EEC of 26 June 1991 on animal health conditions governing intra-Community trade in and imports from third countries of fresh poultrymeat (1), as last amended by Directive 93/121/EC (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

COMMISSION DECISION of 27 May 1994 amending Decision 94/22/EC of 18 January 1994 concerning the dates to be fixed by Member States for the submission of 'area' aid applications under the integrated administration and control system for certain community aid schemes (the 'integrated system') (Only the Greek, French and Dutch versions are authentic) (94/340/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92 of 27 November 1992 establishing an integrated administration and control system for certain community aid schemes (1), and in particular Article 6 (2) thereof,

Whereas Article 6 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92 provides that the Commission may authorize Member States to fix a final date for the submission of an 'area' aid application between 1 April and the dates referred to in Articles 10, 11 and 12 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 (2); whereas by Decision 94/22/EC (3) the Commission authorized France to fix a final date of 30 April 1994 the Netherlands to fix a final date of 22 April 1994 and Belgium to fix a final date of 30 April for applications submitted in computerised form; whereas in the same Decision, on the basis of experience acquired in the implementation of the integrated system in 1993 by Greece, the Commission refused to authorize that Member State to fix a final date after 31 March 1994;

Whereas, in view of the difficulties encountered in preparing 'area' aid application forms and other documentation relating to them owing to the delay in adopting the detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1765/92 as regards the set-aside of land referred to in Article 7 thereof, Belgium, Greece and France re-submitted to the Commission applications to be authorized to fix final dates for the submission of 'area' aid applications at 15 May 1994 and the Netherlands re-submitted an application to be authorized to fix a final date of 11 May 1994; whereas for that reason the Commission may accept those applications;

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

Article 1

The Annex to Decision 94/22/EC is hereby replaced by the table given in the Annex hereto.
