COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 1730/86
of 3 June 1986
on certain detailed rules for financing interventions by the EAGGF, Guarantee Section, and amending Regulation (EEC) No 467/77
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to 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 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1334/86 (2), and in particular Articles 5 and 6, second paragraph, thereof,
Whereas with a view to ensuring that the Community budget continues to be implemented under appropriate conditions, Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 authorizes the Commission to fix the uniform interest rate at a level below its representative level and to fix uniform standard amounts at a level which corresponds to three-quarters of the standard amounts established on the normal basis, for the 1986, 1987 and 1988 budget years; whereas the budget year includes, for this type of expenditure, expenditure on material operations from 1 December of the previous year to 30 November;
Whereas, in these circumstances, the interest rate currently fixed at 8 % should be reduced to 7 %;
Whereas, following the reduction in value of certain agricultural products in public storage fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1624/86 (3) it will be necessary to modify the method for calculating the financial costs of intervention indicated in Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 467/77 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3617/85 (5);
Whereas Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 provides that material operations resulting from storage of products in intervention are financed by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section, by uniform standard amounts agreed for the Community as a whole; whereas, these standard amounts are normally aligned on the average level of costs in the Member States; whereas, under the present circumstances, the standard amounts should be reduced to a level corresponding to three-quarters of their present level;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Fund Committee,
