COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 169/2002

of 30 January 2002

amending Regulation (EC) No 2342/1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council
Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal as
regards premium schemes

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1452/2001 of 28
June 2001 introducing specific measures for certain agricultural
products
the French overseas departments, amending
Directive 72/462/EEC and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 525/
77 and (EEC) No 3763/91 (Poseidom) (1), and in particular
Article 9(4) thereof,

for

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1453/2001 of 28
June 2001 introducing measures for certain agricultural prod-
ucts for the Azores and Madeira and repealing Regulation (EEC)
No 1600/92 (Poseican) (2), and in particular Article 13(6) and
Article 22(6) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1454/2001 of 28
June 2001 introducing specific measures for certain agricultural
products for the Canary Islands and repealing Regulation (EEC)
No 1601/92 (Poseican) (3), and in particular Article 5(6)
thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Regulations (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001
and (EC) No 1454/2001 lay down specific measures to
assist livestock farming in the French overseas depart-
ments, the Azores and Madeira, and the Canary Islands
respectively. The detailed rules of application to be laid
down should provide in particular in the case of the
slaughter premium for freezing, within the ceiling set in
Article 38(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2342/
1999 (4) as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2088/
2001 (5), the number of animals for which the slaughter
premium was granted for the year 2000.

Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 2342/1999 provides for
national ceilings on the slaughter premium. The ceilings
must not compromise the introduction of the specific
limits established by Regulations (EC) No 1452/2001,
(EC) No 1453/2001 and (EC) No 1454/2001. The ceil-
ings for France, Portugal and Spain should therefore
include sub-ceilings based on the number of premiums

paid in a reference year to producers in the overseas
departments, the Azores and Madeira and the Canary
Islands and intended exclusively for producers in the
said regions; the remaining number of eligible animals
up to the specific limits introduced by the abovemen-
tioned Regulations for the slaughter premium in those
regions should be added to those in Annex III to Regula-
tion (EC) No 2342/1999.

concerned have notified the
The Member States
Commission of the number of animals for which the
slaughter premium was granted for the year 2000 in the
overseas departments
the
(3 727), Madeira (1 678),
Azores (10 318) and the Canary Islands (1 696).

So that Regulations (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/
2001 and (EC) No 1454/2001 can be applied imme-
diately, this Regulation should enter into force at the
earliest opportunity.

To ensure consistency with the beginning of the period
of application of the premium scheme introduced by
Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 (6), as
last
amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2345/
2001 (7), for 2002, this Regulation should apply from 1
January 2002.

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