COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 3618/89
of 1 December 1989
on the application of the guarantee limitation arrangements for sheepmeat and goatmeat for the 1990 marketing year
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), and in particular Article 8 (3) thereof,
Whereas Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 introduces arrangements for the limitation of the guarantee applicable for each marketing year; whereas Article 25 (1) and (3) of that Regulation provides that where the United Kingdom applies the variable premium arrangements transitionally, the guarantee limitation arrangements are to apply separately in Great Britain on the one hand and in the other regions as a whole on the other hand; whereas, however, Article 25 (4) of that Regulation provides that the reductions in the basic price in respect of Great Britain on the one hand and the rest of the Community on the other are to be gradually merged into a single reduction in proportion to the actual dismantling of the variable premium during each marketing year;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1310/88 (2) lays down the detailed rules for the application of these arrangements;
Whereas for the 1990 marketing year estimated ewe numbers exceed the maximum guaranteed level and result in the fixing of a reduction coefficient;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
