THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2019/93 of 19 July 1993 introducing specific measures for the smaller Aegean islands concerning certain agricultural products (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2958/93 (2) lays down common detailed rules for the application of the arrangements for supplying the smaller Aegean islands with certain agricultural products and determines, pursuant to Article 3 (2) of  Regulation (EEC) No 2019/93, the amount of the aid for such supply according to the island-group which includes the island in which the product is disposed of; whereas, pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2019/93, the smaller Aegean islands'  forecast supply balances for fruit and vegetables coming from the rest of the Community should be established for the end of the 1993 calendar year and for the 1994 calendar year;
Whereas, in order to attain the objective of the supply arrangements under Regulation (EEC) No 2019/93 and, in particular, to reduce the smaller Aegean islands' natural handicaps without hampering the development potential of local products, it should  be made possible for certain fruits and vegetables originating in a smaller island to be covered by the supply arrangements in question, on condition that such basic products are in surplus, relative to that island's specific requirements; whereas,  therefore, the amount of the flat-rate aid to be granted for the supply to the smaller islands of the products in question from other smaller islands should be fixed, and the control measures required for the management of such a supply system laid  down;
Whereas any fraud should be penalized;
Whereas the provisions of this Regulation should be applied immediately;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
