on the multiannual guidance programme for aquaculture (1987 to 1991) submitted by Germany pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86

(Only the German text is authentic)

(88/3/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 of 18 December 1986 on Community measures to improve and adapt structures in the fisheries and aquaculture sector (1) and in particular Article 4 thereof,

Whereas on 27 April 1987 the German Government forwarded to the Commission a multiannual guidance programme for aquaculture, hereinafter referred to as 'the programme'; whereas on 29 June 1987 it forwarded the latest additional information concerning the programme;

Whereas the aim of the programme is to diversify somewhat, outside traditional production of carp and trout, a sector of small importance; whereas investments of approximately 30 million ECU are estimated to be necessary for the completion of the programme;

Whereas, having regard to the foreseeable trend in fishery resources, the market for fishery and aquaculture products, the measures adopted under the common fisheries policy and the guidelines for the latter, the programme meets the conditions laid down in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 4028/86 and constitutes a suitable framework for Community and national financial aid for the sector concerned;

Whereas, however, the implementation of the programme could encounter technical and commercial difficulties inherent in the develpment of new productions;

Whereas the aquaculture sector is developing in a commercial environment, a feature of which is the development of international competition;

Whereas the development of the market for Salmonidae could entail the need to adjust the objectives laid down for the production of trout;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The multiannual guidance programme for aquaculture (1987 to 1991), as forwarded by the German Government on 27 April 1987 and as last supplemented on 29 June 1987, is hereby approved subject to the conditions set out in this Decision.

Article 2

1. Very great caution must be exercised in the assessment of investment projects for the production of non-traditional species in order to ensure their long-term technical practicability and economic profitability.

2. The programme's objectives concerning the production of trout must be reviewed where major changes take place on the market for Salmonidae.

Article 3

This Decision is without prejudice to any Community financial aid to individual investment projects.

Article 4

This Decision is adressed to the Federal Republic of Germany.

Whereas the application of the said Agreement, which falls within the bounds of the integrated programme for commodities, involves both Community action and joint action by the Member States,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

COMMISSION DECISION

of 22 December 1987

amending Decision 87/257/EEC on the list of establishments in the United States of America approved for the purpose of importing fresh meat into the Community

(88/66/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine animals and swine and fresh meat from third countries (1), as last amended by Directive 87/64/EEC (2), and in particular Articles 4 (1) and 18 (1) thereof,

Whereas establishments in third countries cannot be authorized to export fresh meat unless they satisfy the general and special conditions laid down in Directive 72/462/EEC;

Whereas the United States of America has forwarded, in accordance with Article 4 (3) of Directive 72/462/EEC, a list of establishments authorized to export to the Community;

Whereas the list of establishments in the United States of America approved for the import of fresh meat into the Community was drawn up originally in Commission Directive 87/257/EEC (3);

Whereas, however, to avoid interrupting existing patterns of trade abruptly, a list of establishments from which the Member States could continue to import fresh meat until 31 December 1987 was forwarded by the Commission to the Member States;

Whereas those establishments were to be subject to Community inspection before that date to ensure that the necessary adaptations having regard to Community regulations had been carried out and that, consequently, those establishments could appear on the list of American establishments approved for the import of fresh meat into the Community;

Whereas the number of establishments for which an inspection was requested was high and the Commission is physically unable to complete such inspections before 31 December 1987;

Whereas, in order to affect trade as little as possible, those transitional arrangements should be extended until 31 March 1988;

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

In Article 2 of Decision 87/257/EEC, '31 December 1987' is replaced by '31 March 1988'.

Whereas the additional setting-up gremium provided for by the Region of Wallonia satisfies the conditions laid down in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 797/85;

Whereas the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) Committee has been consulted on the financial aspects;

The Compensatory financial contribution to the additional setting-up premium of the Region of Wallonia may be granted, however, only to the extent that the application of the setting-up premium at national level, as provided for in Article 13 of the Belgian Royal Decree of 3 March 1986, leaves a margin for an additional Community contribution, account being taken of the maximum amount eligible pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 797/85.
