COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2727/98

of 17 December 1998

amending Regulations (EEC) No 2312/92 and (EEC) No 1148/93 laying down
detailed rules for implementing the specific measures for supplying the French
overseas departments with breeding bovines and horses

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

No 2312/92 and (EEC) No 1148/93 should be replaced
by the Annexes to this Regulation;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Whereas the balances should be fixed on the basis of the
calendar year;

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91
of 16 December 1991 introducing specific measures in
respect of certain agricultural products for the benefit of
the French overseas departments (1), as last amended by
Regulation (EC) No 2598/95 (2), and in particular Article
4(5) thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No
3763/91, it is necessary to determine the number of pure-
bred breeding bovines and horses originating in the
Community which are eligible for aid with a view to
those sectors in the
encouraging the development of
French overseas departments (FOD);

Whereas the quantities of the forecast supply balance and
the level of aid for those products are fixed by Commis-
sion Regulations (EEC) No 2312/92 (3) and (EEC) No
1148/93 (4), both as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
1318/98 (5); whereas the Annexes to those Regulations
should therefore be amended;

Whereas the need might arise in the French overseas
departments for additional supplies of pure-bred breeding
bovines and horses in particular marketing years; whereas,
therefore, the French authorities should be granted some
leeway in their management of the scheme so they can
issue aid certificates for animals intended for certain over-
seas departments in excess of the maximum quantities
available to those departments, on condition that
the
overall maximum quantity available for all four overseas
departments is complied with; whereas, in order to take
proper account of such additional supply requirements
should
for
inform the Commission of cases in which certificates
have been issued using this discretionary power;

the French authorities

subsequent years,

Whereas, as a result of the presentation by the French
authorities of information on the needs of the French
overseas departments, the Annexes to Regulations (EEC)

(1) OJ L 356, 24. 12. 1991, p. 1.
(2) OJ L 267, 9. 11. 1995, p. 1.
(3) OJ L 222, 7. 8. 1992, p. 32.
(4) OJ L 116, 12. 5. 1993, p. 15.
(5) OJ L 183, 26. 6. 1998, p. 18.

Whereas 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 the FODs with pure-bred breeding animals
at the levels fixed in the Annex hereto;

Whereas Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1103/
97 of 17 June 1997 on certain provisions relating to the
introduction of
the euro (6) 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 Beef and Veal,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
