Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 of 27 June 1980 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 871/84 (2), and in particular Article 15 (10) thereof,
Whereas Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 provides for the granting of a premium to compensate for the loss of income sustained by producers of sheepmeat;
Whereas pursuant to Article 5 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 and to enable an advance payment to be made to sheepmeat producers operating in less-favoured agricultural areas, the foreseeable loss of income should be estimated in the light of the foreseeable trend in market prices;
Whereas under Article 5 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 the amount of the premium per ewe and per region is obtained by multiplying the loss of income referred to in Article 5 (2) by a coefficient expressing for each region the normal annual average production of lamb meat per ewe expressed per 100 kilograms of carcase weight; whereas, however, for region 5 this loss of income must be reduced by the weighted average of the variable premiums actually granted and the foreseeable premiums for the remainder of the 1984/85 marketing year, such average being obtained in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 (6);
Whereas pursuant to Article 4 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3007/84 (3), the advance is fixed at 30 % of the amount of the estimated foreseeable premium; whereas under Article 4 (3) of the said Regulation the advance is to be paid only if the amount thereof is at least 1 ECU;
Whereas the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
