COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2590/1999

of 8 December 1999

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,

(4)

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

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 over-
seas departments (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
1257/1999 (2), and in particular Article 4(5) thereof,

(5)

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

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

The quantities of the forecast supply balance and the
level of aid for those products are fixed by Commission
Regulations (EEC) No 2312/92 (3) and (EEC) No 1148/
93 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2727/
98 (5). The Annexes to those Regulations should there-
fore be amended.

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

(5) OJ L 343, 18.12.1998, p. 4.

As a result of the presentation by the French authorities
information on the needs of the French overseas
of
departments,
the Annexes to Regulations (EEC) No
2312/92 and (EEC) No 1148/93 should be replaced by
the Annexes to this Regulation adding, for supply of
French overseas department
breeding horses,
Réunion. The balances should be fixed on the basis of
the calendar year.

the

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 French overseas departments
with pure-bred breeding animals at the levels fixed in the
Annex hereto.

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