THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Azores and Madeira relating to certain agricultural products(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2826/2000(2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92, the quantities of the specific supply balances for the beef and veal sector should be established for supplies to the Azores and Madeira of beef and veal and pure-bred breeding animals.

(2) The quantities in the forecast supply balance for fresh or chilled meat of bovine animals are laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1913/92(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1370/2000(4).

(3) Pending the entry into force of the reform of the specific supply arrangements and in order to avoid any break in the application of the specific supply arrangements in force, the supply balance should be established for the period 1 July to 31 December 2001.

(4) The aid for the products in the forecast supply balance coming from the Community market is laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1913/92.

(5) Application of the criteria for fixing the amount of Community aid to the current market situation in the sector in question and, in particular, to the exchange rates and prices for those products in the European part of the Community and on the world market, gives rise to aid for the supply of Madeira and the Azores with beef and veal products at the levels laid down in the Annex hereto.

(6) Pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92, the supply arrangements are applicable from 1 July. This Regulation should therefore apply immediately.
