COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1922/2002

of 28 October 2002

amending Council Regulation (EC) No 1454/2001 introducing specific measures for certain agricul-
tural products for the Canary Islands and Council Regulation (EC) No 21/2002 establishing the
supply balances and Community aid for the outermost regions

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

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) (1), as last amended by Commission
Regulation (EC) No 1195/2002 (2), and in particular Article
3(6) thereof,

Whereas:

No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001 and (EC) No 1454/
2001 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1365/
2002 (4), should be amended to include lucerne other
than in the form of meal or pellets.

In order to better meet supply needs, soya oilcake,
lucerne pellets and other forms of lucerne should be
placed in one single group without changing the total
quantity.

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

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of the joint meeting of the
Management Committees for Dried Fodder, Hops and
Oils and Fats,

Regulation (EC) No 1454/2001 introduces
specific
supply arrangements for a certain number of agricultural
products which are essential in the Canary Islands for
human consumption, processing or as agricultural
inputs. Among the products intended for
feed are
lucerne meal and pellets.

Lucerne meal and pellets represent a significant compo-
nent of Canary Islands livestock feed. However, they are
not sufficient

requirements in the feed of ruminants, especially in a
competitive situation where major efforts are made to
produce quality meat and dairy products.

Article 1

In Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1454/2001, the following
line is added after the last line but one:

‘Other forms of lucerne

ex 1214 90 99’.

It is appropriate therefore to broaden the scope of the
Canary Islands' specific supply arrangements to include
long fibre lucerne, which could be incorporated into the
protein and fibre diet of Canary Islands ruminants.

Article 2

Regulation (EC) No 1454/2001 should therefore be
amended accordingly.

Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 21/2002 is amended in accor-
dance with the Annex to this Regulation.
