of 27 September 1990
laying down interim measures applicable in the pigmeat sector after the unification of Germany
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2684/90 of 17 September 1990 on interim measures applicable after the unification of Germany in anticipation of the adoption of transitional measures by the Council either in copperation with, or after consultation of, the European Parliament (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2684/90 provides, inter alia, that a decision may be taken on a provisional basis and for a limited period to supplement or adapt Community rules in agricultural and fisheries policy to the extent strictly necessary to resolve problems resulting from the unification of Germany before the Council has been able to pronounce on the Commission's proposals on transitional measures and adjustments required as a result of the integration of the former German Democratic Republic into the Community; whereas such supplements and adaptations should be consistent with the economy of measures and with the principles of the common agricultural policy;
Whereas, in the absence of sufficiently comprehensive and reliable information, it is at present not possible to take account of prices of slaughtered pigs and market prices in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic;
Whereas, to preserve the stability of the Community market for pigmeat, the execution of agreements concluded by the former German Democratic Republic with third countries up to the time of unification should be ensured; whereas Germany has accordingly to be given authorization to pay from national funds a supplement in addition to the refund laid down by Community rules for exports of products in the pigmeat sector made under the terms of commercial agreements entered into by the former German Democratic Republic;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are to apply subject to any changes resulting from the decisions taken by the Council on the proposals presented to it by the Commission on 21 August 1990;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
