Proposal for a Council  Regulation (EC) fixing a supplementary premium payable to sheep producers in non-less favoured  areas of Ireland and the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland(96/C  159/06)COM(96) 152  final - 96/0102(CNS)(Submitted by the Commission on 15 April 1996)THE COUNCIL OF  THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43  thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, Whereas Article 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common  organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat  (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No  1265/95  (2), provides for the grant of a premium to the extent necessary to offset any income loss  to sheepmeat producers in the Community; whereas the loss of income is calculated on the basis of  the difference between the Community average market price and the basic price; Whereas in Ireland and Northern Ireland prices and production costs in late Spring are normally  relatively high; whereas in late Spring 1995, due in particular to abnormal supply patterns, prices  there were exceptionally low thus reducing sharply producers' returns from the market; whereas the  producers concerned are located principally outside the less-favoured areas; Whereas the level of the ewe premium is insufficient to compensate these producers; Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 does not provide any means to rectify this very difficult and  exceptional situation; whereas, it is therefore necessary to provide for a supplementary premium  limited to the producers affected in the regions indicated and to the 1995 marketing year, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 In Ireland and the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland in  areas other than those defined in Article 3 (3) (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC a supplementary  premium of ECU 6,5 per ewe is payable to producers in respect of the 1995 marketing year, This supplementary premium is granted subject to the same conditions as those laid down for the  granting of the 1995 premium to sheepmeat and goatmeat producers. Article 2 Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall be adopted by the  Commission, if necessary, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30 of Regulation  (EEC) No 3013/89. Article 3 This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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.(1) OJ No L 289, 7. 10. 1989, p. 1.  (2) OJ No L 123, 3. 6. 1995, p. 1.
