COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2235/98

of 16 October 1998

providing for the grant of private storage aid fixed in advance for carcases and
half-carcases of lamb in Finland, Ireland and the United Kingdom

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89
of 25 September 1989 on the common organisation of the
market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as last amended by
Regulation (EC) No 1589/96 (2), and in particular Article
7(1) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3446/90 of
27 November 1990 laying down detailed rules
for
granting private storage aid for sheepmeat and goat-
meat (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3533/
93 (4), lays down in particular the conditions under which
the amount of aid is fixed at a flat rate in advance;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3447/90 of
28 November 1990 on special conditions for the granting
of private storage aid for sheepmeat and goatmeat (5), as
last amended by Regulation (EC) No 40/96 (6), lays down
in particular the minimum quantities per contract;

Whereas the application of Article 7(1) of Regulation
(EEC) No 3013/89 may result in a decision to grant
private storage aid; whereas that Article provides for the
application of these measures on the basis of the situation
of each quotation zone; whereas, in view of the particu-
larly difficult market situation in Finland, Ireland and the
United Kingdom, it has been judged opportune to initiate
such a procedure;

Article 1

Subject to the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No
1.
3447/90, applications may be submitted in Finland,
Ireland and the United Kingdom between 19 October
and 20 November 1998 for aid for the private storage of
carcases and half carcases of lamb up to a limit of 150
tonnes for Finland, 450 tonnes for Ireland and 2 400
tonnes for the United Kingdom.

Applications submitted on or after the day following that
on which the total quantity applied for exceeds the quan-
tities referred to in the preceding subparagraph shall not
be accepted. Quantities in respect of which applications
are lodged on the day the overall limit is exceeded shall
be reduced proportionally.

2.
The level of aid for the minimum storage period of
three months shall be ECU 1 400 per tonne. However,
the actual storage period shall be chosen by the storer.
This period may extend from a minimum of
three
months to a maximum of seven months. If the storage
period is greater than three months the aid shall be
increased on a daily basis by ECU 1,45 per tonne per day.

Article 2

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are
in accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Sheep and Goat Meat,

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its
publication in the Official Journal of the European
Communities.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member
States.

Done at Brussels, 16 October 1998.
