of 27 October 2000
providing for the grant of private storage aid fixed in advance for carcases and half-carcases of lamb in Finland
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 of 3 November 1998 on the common organisation of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat(1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1669/2000(2), and in particular Article 12(1) and (4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3446/90 of 27 November 1990 laying down detailed rules for granting private storage aid for sheepmeat and goatmeat(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3533/93(4), lays down in particular detailed rules where the amount of aid is fixed at a flat rate in advance.
(2) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3447/90 of 28 November 1990 on special conditions for the granting of private storage aid for sheepmeat and goatmeat(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 40/96(6), lays down in particular the minimum quantities per contract.
(3) The application of Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 may result in a decision to grant private storage aid. That Article provides for the application of these measures on the basis of the situation of each quotation zone. Article 12(2) provides for aid to be granted in the framework of an advance fixing procedure where urgent recourse to private storage proves necessary. In view of the particularly difficult market situation in Finland, the conditions laid down in that Article have been met. As a consequence, it has been judged opportune to initiate such a procedure.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
