COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2392/2000

of 27 October 2000

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

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(4)

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

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 of 3
November 1998 on the common organisation of the market in
sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No
1669/2000 (2), and in particular Article 12(1) and (4) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

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

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.

The application of Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No
2467/98 may result
in a decision to grant private
storage aid. That Article provides for the application of
these measures on the basis of the situation of each
quotation zone. Article 12(2) provides for aid to be
granted in the framework of an advance fixing proce-
dure where urgent recourse to private storage proves
necessary. In view of the particularly difficult market
situation in Finland, the conditions laid down in that
Article have been met. As a consequence, it has been
judged opportune to initiate such a procedure.
