COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1921/2002

of 28 October 2002

amending Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 laying down detailed rules for the supply of food from
intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Community

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Article 1

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3730/87 of 10
December 1987 laying down the general rules for the supply
of food from intervention stocks to designated organisations
for distribution to the most deprived persons in the Commu-
nity (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2535/95 (2), and in
particular Article 6 thereof,

Whereas:

Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3149/
92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1098/
2001 (4), provides that implementation of the annual
plan for the distribution of the food products to the
most deprived persons shall run from 1 October to 30
September of the following year. For the sake of the
sound management of
intervention stocks, provision
should be made to ensure that the products to be distrib-
uted are withdrawn from intervention stocks by 31
August of the year of distribution at the latest.

Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 sets the
accounting value of the products made available. This
provision should be adapted to take account of changes
in the intervention scheme affecting the common orga-
nisation of the market in beef and veal.

Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 is amended as follows:

1. the following second subparagraph is added to Article 3(1):

‘Withdrawal of the products from intervention stocks shall
take place from 1 October to 31 August of the following
year.’;

2. Article 5 is replaced by the following:

‘Article 5

For EAGGF Guarantee Section accounting purposes,
1.
and notwithstanding the provisions of Article 8 of Regula-
tion (EEC) No 1883/78 (*),
the accounting value of the
products made available from intervention under this Regu-
lation shall be the intervention price applicable on 1
October of each year.

In the case of beef, the accounting value of the products
made available shall be the intervention price applicable on
30 June 2002. That price shall be subject to the coefficients
set out in the Annex.

For the Member States which have not adopted the euro,
intervention products shall be
the accounting value of
the exchange rate
converted into national currency at
applicable on 1 October.

2. Where intervention products are transferred from one
Member State to another, the supplier Member State shall
record the product delivered as a zero entry in the accounts
and the Member State of destination shall record it as a
receipt in the month of dispatch, using the price calculated
in accordance with paragraph 1.

Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 should be
repealed, since it no longer applies as the transport costs
concerned are reimbursed on the basis of expenditure
incurred.

(*) OJ L 216, 5.8.1978, p. 1.’;

3. Article 8 is hereby repealed.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
the Management
accordance with the opinions of
Committees concerned,
