COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2681/82

of 6 October 1982

determining for the Member States the estimated loss of income and the estimated level of the premium payable per ewe for 1982/83

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, however, in respect of regions 5 and 6 and pursuant to Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2643/80, there should be deducted from the estimated premium an amount of 21 235 000 ECU to represent the difference between the total amount of advances paid in those regions for 1981/82 and the revised findings for loss of income in the said region for that marketing year; whereas the said amount should be divided into two parts, of 20 320 000 ECU and 915 000 ECU for regions 5 and 6 respectively, to take account of the number of ewes for which a premium was paid in each of those regions in 1981/82;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
