THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 166/89 (2), and in particular Article 7 (5) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2048/88 (4), and in particular Article 3 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the weather conditions in Italy and the drought that has persisted since September 1988 have brought about a shortage of fodder which could lead farmers to sell their livestock prematurely with income losses;
Whereas the shortage of fodder may be offset by the use by Italian stock-farmers of 300 000 tonnes of feed grain; whereas these cereals are available from the Spanish intervention agency in the form of barley; whereas, in order to make this barley available to the stock-farmers concerned, it will have to be transferred to Italy;
Whereas the Italian intervention agency is reselling the stocks transferred under the conditions set out in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82 of 7 July 1982 laying down the procedure and conditions for the disposal of cereals held by intervention agencies (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2418/87 (6);
Whereas certain detailed rules for taking delivery of the product and on the transfer of responsibilities in this respect should be laid down at a later date;
Whereas provisions should be adopted to cover this measure for accounting purposes in accordance with the procedure provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 of 2 August 1978 laying down general rules for the financing of interventions by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2050/88 (8),
