COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1890/2002

of 23 October 2002

amending Regulation (EC) No 21/2002 as regards the forecast supply balance for the French
overseas departments in the cereals sector

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 for the French overseas departments, amending Direc-
tive 72/462/EEC and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 525/77
and (EEC) No 3763/91 (Poseidom) (1), and in particular Article
3(6) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Part 1 of Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No
21/2002 of 28 December 2001 establishing the supply
balances and Community aid for the outermost regions
under Council Regulations (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No
1453/2001 and (EC) No 1454/2001 (2), as last amended
by Regulation (EC) No 1365/2002 (3), establishes a fore-
cast supply balance and fixes the Community aid for
cereals and cereal products for the French overseas
departments in accordance with Regulation (EC) No
1452/2001.

The forecast supply balance provides for an annual
quantity of 44 200 tonnes of cereals for Guadeloupe and
32 700 tonnes of cereals for Martinique. Given that two
new mills have come into operation in Martinique, the
current level of implementation of the specific supply
arrangements shows that the quantities laid down for
the supply of the two departments are below require-
ments.

(3)

(4)

(5)

(6)

By letter dated 6 September 2002, therefore, the French
authorities submitted a request for adjustment of the
balance for Guadeloupe and for Martinique in order to
meet the legitimate supply needs of these departments.

As a result, as regards the supply of cereals, the quantity
originally laid down in the supply balance should be
increased and the distribution of the quantities fixed for
these two islands should be amended.

Regulation (EC) No 21/2002 should therefore be
amended accordingly.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Part 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 21/2002 is hereby
replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh 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 October 2002.
