COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2590/1999of 8 December 1999amending Regulations (EEC) No 2312/92 and (EEC) No 1148/93 laying down detailed rules for implementing the specific measures for supplying the French overseas departments with breeding bovines and horsesTHE 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 overseas departments(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999(2), and in particular Article 4(5) thereof,Whereas:(1) Pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91, it is necessary to determine the number of pure-bred breeding bovines and horses in the Community which are eligible for aid with a view to encouraging the development of those sectors in the French overseas departments (FODs).(2) The quantities of the forecast supply balance and the level of aid for those products are fixed by Commission Regulations (EEC) No 2312/92(3) and (EEC) No 1148/93(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2727/98(5). The Annexes to those Regulations should therefore be amended.(3) The need might arise in the French overseas departments for additional supplies of pure-bred breeding bovines and horses in particular marketing years. The French authorities should therefore be granted some leeway in their management of the scheme so they can issue aid certificates for animals intended for certain overseas departments in excess of the maximum quantities available to those departments, on condition that the overall maximum quantity available for all four overseas departments is complied with. In order to take proper account of such additional supply requirements for subsequent years, the French authorities should inform the Commission of cases in which certificates have been issued using this discretionary power.(4) As a result of the presentation by the French authorities of information on the needs of the French overseas departments, the Annexes to Regulations (EEC) No 2312/92 and (EEC) No 1148/93 should be replaced by the Annexes to this Regulation adding, for supply of breeding horses, the French overseas department Réunion. The balances should be fixed on the basis of the calendar year.(5) Application of the criteria for fixing the amount of Community aid to the current market situation in the sector in question and, in particular, to the exchange rates and prices for those products in the European part of the Community and on the world market, gives rise to aid for the supply of the French overseas departments with pure-bred breeding animals at the levels fixed in the Annex hereto.(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:Article 1Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 2312/92 is replaced by Annex I to this Regulation.Article 2Regulation (EEC) No 1148/93 is amended as follows:1.
