THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 468/87 of 10 February 1987 laying down general rules applying to the special premium for beef producers (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 572/89 (2), and in particular Article 5 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1346/86 of 6 May 1986 on the granting of a calf birth premium in Greece, Ireland, Italy and Northern Ireland and on the granting of an additional national premium in Italy (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4132/88 (4), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

Whereas Article 1 (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 859/87 of 25 March 1987 laying down detailed rules applying to the special premium for beef producers (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4142/88 (6), states that the authorization provided for in Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 468/87 is valid up to 5 March 1989;

Whereas by virtue of Article 1 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1694/86 of 30 May 1986 laying down detailed implementing rules for the granting of a calf birth premium (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4142/88, that premium is available in respect of any calf born during the period 6 April 1987 to 5 March 1989;

Whereas pending new premium arrangements for the beef and veal sector the Council has, by Regulation (EEC) No 571/89 (8), extended the period of availability of the special premium and of the calf birth premium to 2 April 1989; whereas Regulations (EEC) No 859/87 and (EEC) No 1694/86 should therefore be amended accordingly;

Whereas, for administrative reasons, it is necessary to fix a cut-off date for the introduction of applications for the calf premium;

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