of 11 July 1983

determining for the Member States the loss of income and the 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 granting of a premium to sheepmeat producers; whereas the estimated level of that premium was calculated at the beginning of the marketing year on the basis of the foreseeable loss of income by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2681/82 (3);

Whereas, pursuant to Article 5 (2) and (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80, the estimate of the loss of income and of the amount of the premium payable per ewe are to be revised at the end of the marketing year; whereas, moreover, paragraph 3 of the said Article provides for limitation of the loss of revenue calculated by subtracting from the total amount referred to in paragraph 2 of the said Article the total amount of the premium granted pursuant to Article 9 of the same Regulation;

Whereas, 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, in regions other than 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, no loss of income was found during the 1982/83 marketing year;

Whereas the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
