COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2163/1999

of 12 October 1999

determining, for the 1999 marketing year, the estimated loss of income and the estimated level of
the premium payable per ewe and per female goat and fixing the second advance payment for this
premium

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

(5)

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 of 3
November 1998 on the common organisation of the market in
sheep meat and goat meat (1), and in particular Article 5(6)
thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 of 15
June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Canary Islands
with regard to certain agricultural products (2), as last amended
by Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 (3), and in particular Article
13 thereof,

Whereas:

Article 5(1) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98
provides for the grant of a premium to compensate for
any loss of income sustained by producers of sheep
meat and, in certain areas, of goat meat. Those areas are
defined in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 and
in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1065/
86 of 11 April 1986 determining the mountain areas in
which the premium for goat meat
is granted (4), as
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3519/86 (5).

Pursuant to Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98
and to enable an advance payment to be made to sheep
meat and goat meat producers, the foreseeable loss of
income should be estimated in the light of the foresee-
able trend in market prices.

Pursuant to Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98,
the amount of the premium per ewe for producers of
heavy lambs is obtained by multiplying the loss of
income referred to in the second subparagraph of para-
graph 1 of that Article by a coefficient expressing the
annual average production of heavy lamb meat per ewe
producing these lambs expressed per 100 kg of carcase
weight. The coefficient for 1999 has not yet been fixed
in view of the lack of full Community statistics. Pending
the fixing of that coefficient, a provisional coefficient
should be used. Article 5(3) of that Regulation also fixes
the amount per ewe for producers of light lambs and
per
the
the caprine species at 80 % of
premium per ewe for producers of heavy lambs.

Pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98,
the premium must be reduced by the impact on the
basic price of the coefficient provided for in paragraph 2

the expected premium.

In accordance with Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No
2467/98, the half-yearly advance payment is fixed at
In accordance with
30 % of
Article 4(3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2700/
93 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1410/
1999 (7), the advance payment is to be paid only if it is
equal to or greater than EUR 1.

Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 provides for the applica-
tion of specific measures relating to agricultural produc-
tion in the Canary Islands. Those measures entail the
grant of a supplement to the ewe premium to producers
of light lambs and she-goats on the same conditions as
those governing the grant of the premium referred to in
Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98. Those condi-
tions provide that Spain is authorised to pay an advance
on the said supplementary premium.

For budgetary reasons,
the second advance to the
premium may not be paid before 16 October 1999.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Sheep and Goats,
