COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 129/2001

of 23 January 2001

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2989/92 laying down detailed implementing rules for the specific
measures for supplying the French overseas departments with products from the pigmeat sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

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
2826/2000 (2), and in particular Article 4(5) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2989/92 (3) sets the
aid provided for in Article 4(1) of Regulation (EEC) No
3763/91 for the supply of pure-bred breeding swine of
Community origin to the French overseas departments
and the number of animals for which the aid is to be
granted.

Experience in recent years has shown that the number of
animals laid down in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No
2989/92 have exceeded the actual requirements of the
French overseas departments for pure-bred breeding
swine. The number of eligible animals should therefore
be reduced.

This Regulation will enter into force after the expiry of
the time limit
for submitting licence applications in
January 2001. To avoid a break in supplies to the French
overseas departments, provision should be made to
derogate from Article 4(1) and (2) of Regulation (EEC)
No 2989/92 and to allow, for that month alone, the
submission of licence applications in the five working

days following the entry into force of this Regulation
and to set the time limit for the issue of such licences at
10 working days following the entry into force of this
Regulation.

(4)

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2989/92 is replaced by the
Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

By way of derogation from Article 4(1),
in January 2001
applications for licences shall be submitted to the competent
authority no later than the fifth working day following the
entry into force of this Regulation.

By way of derogation from Article 4(2),
in January 2001
licences shall be issued during January 2001 no later than 10
working days after the entry into force of this Regulation.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its
publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

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

Done at Brussels, 23 January 2001.
