The Supplementary Protocol to the Agreement establishing 
an association between the European Economic Com­
munity and the Republic of Malta and adapting certain 
provisions of the Agreement and declarations annexed

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social 
Committee, 
Whereas the operation and development of the common 
market in agricultural products must be accompanied by 
the establishment of a Common Agricultural Policy 
involving common organization of the agricultural 
markets; whereas the form of such organization may vary 
from one product to another; 
Whereas the arrangements introduced by Council Regu­
lation (EEC) No 1837/80 on the common organization of 
the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (*), as last amended 
by Regulation (EEC) No 1115/88 (2), must be reviewed 
with a view to the full establishment of a single market; 
Whereas, in order to attain the objectives set out in Article 
39 of the Treaty, in particular market stability and a fair 
standard of living for the agricultural community con­
cerned, it is necessary to retain certain arrangements

facilitating adjustment of supply to market requirements; 
whereas in particular Community sheepmeat producers 
should continue to be granted a premium to compensate for 
loss of income and intervention measures should be 
continued; whereas the latter may take the form of private 
storage aid, which least affects normal marketing of 
products; 
Whereas the purpose of the abovementioned premium is to 
ensure a fair return for producers; whereas, however, in 
view of the possibilities for disposal on the community 
market and the Community's international commitments, 
production of sheepmeat and goatmeat should no longer be 
encouraged once the Community flock exceeds a certain 
level established in the light of the market situation; 
whereas, to that end, provision should be made for 
reducing the degree of guarantee afforded by the measures 
in question; whereas the maximum guaranteed level 
should be fixed at that which obtained on 31 December 
1987 in the regions concerned and provision should be 
made for its eventual revision; 
Whereas provision should be made for the fixing of a basic 
price at which intervention measures will come into 
operation and which will protect the Community market 
against price fluctuations on the world market for certain 
products in the sector; 
Whereas the creation of a single Community market in 
sheepmeat and goatmeat involves the introduction of a 
single set of arrangements applying to trade across the Proposal for a Council Regulation (EEC) on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat 
and goatmeat
