COMMISSION DECISION of 2 August 1991 amending Decision 91/81/EEC adopting the 1991 plan allocating to the Member States resources to be charged to the 1991 budget year for the supply of food from intervention stocks to designated organizations for distribution to the most deprived persons in the Community (91/456/EEC)

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 designated organizations for distribution to the most deprived persons in the Community (1),

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3744/87 of 14 December 1987 laying down the detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks to designated organizations for distribution to the most deprived persons in the Community (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 583/91 (3), and in particular Article 4 paragraph 2 thereof,

Whereas in order to implement the scheme for the supply of such food to the most deprived section of the population, to be financed from resources available in the 1991 budget year, Commission Decision 91/81/EEC (4) allocated resources to the Member States; whereas for one Member State the allocation exceeds the amount the relevant authorities now consider to be necessary but in certain other Member States the allocation falls short of needs; whereas the appropriations set aside to cover the transport costs referred to in Article 13 of that Decision will not be exhausted;

Whereas in order to optimize the impact of the scheme the Commission considers it necessary to amend the Decision taken for the allocation of resources to be charged to the 1991 budget;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the relevant management committees,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
