COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2653/98

of 9 December 1998

amending Regulation (EC) No 1397/98 adopting the balance and fixing the aid
for the supply of products from the eggs and poultrymeat sectors to the Canary
Islands under the arrangements provided for in Articles 2, 3 and 4 of Council
Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92, regarding the amounts of aid

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92
of 15 June 1992 concering specific measures for the
Canary Islands with regard to certain agricultural prod-
ucts (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC)
No 2348/96 (2), and in particular Article 3 (4),

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1397/98 (3)
fixed the amounts of the aid for the supply to the archipe-
lago, of meat and eggs, originating in the rest of the
Community; whereas such aid must be fixed taking into
account in particular the costs of supply from the world
market, conditions due to the geographical situation of
the archipelago and the basis of the current prices on
export to third countries for the animals or products
concerned;

Whereas it follows from applying these rules and criteria
to the present situation on the market in poultrymeat that
the amounts of aid for such deliveries should be adjusted,
taking account of their current volume and ensuring that
the share of supplies from the Community is maintained;

Whereas Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1103/
97 of 17 June 1997 on certain provisions relating to the
introduction of
the euro (4) provides that as from 1
January 1999, all references to the ecu in legal instru-
ments are to be replaced by references to the euro at the
rate of EUR 1 to ECU 1; whereas, for the sake of clarity,
the denomination ‘euro' should be used in this Regula-
tion since it is to apply from 1 January 1999;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are
in accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1397/98 is replaced by
the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1999.

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

Done at Brussels, 9 December 1998.
