THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parlia­
ment, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee, 
Whereas Article 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 
1837/80 O, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 
..., made provision, with a view to compensating for the 
loss of revenue of producers in certain regions, for 
granting a premium payable per ewe; whereas the 
abovementioned provision, contrary to what is laid down 
for region 1, did not provide for the application in 
region 7 of the specific arrangements based on the 
granting under certain conditions of the premiums paid 
in region 2; whereas, because of the age and quality of 
the lambs being slaughtered, producers in region 7 are in 
a similar situation to those in region 1, who in addition 
have the benefit of the abovementioned specific 
arrangements; whereas however in region 7 the pro­
portion of producers meeting the conditions laid down 
for application of the specific arrangements is distinctly

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parlia­
ment, higher than in region 1 and this is reflected in the level 
of the average market price; whereas consequently the 
system of calculating income loss laid down in Article 5 
of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 gives producers in 
region 7 greater compensation for their losses than 
producers in region 1; whereas it is appropriate to give 
producers in region 7 an increase to reflect the premiums 
given to producers in region 1; whereas Article 5 of 
Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 should be amended 
accordingly, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
The following paragraph 5 a is hereby inserted in Article 
5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80: 
'5a. However for the 1987 and 1988 marketing 
years the ewe premium calculated for region 7 shall 
be increased by half the difference between it and 
that paid in region 1 under the terms of paragraph 5, 
should the latter be higher.'

following that of its publication in the Official Journal of 
the European Communities.
