COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 1310/88
of 11 May 1988
on the application of the guarantee limitation arrangements for sheepmeat and goatmeat
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
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 Council Regulation (EEC) No 1115/88 (2), and in particular Article 9a (5) thereof,
Whereas Article 9a of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 introduces arrangements for the limitation of the guarantee applicable separately in the regions where the variable premium system is applied on the one hand and in the other regions on the other hand; whereas the functioning of these arrangements should be stipulated;
Whereas Article 9a of the abovementioned Regulation provides that the reduction in the guarantee is to depend on the number of ewes compared with a maximum guaranteed level; whereas the number of ewes should be determined in particular using the data obtained under Council Directive 82/177/EEC (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (4), concerning statistical surveys on sheep and goat numbers;
Whereas for the 1988 marketing year the estimated overrun of the ewe flock on the maximum guaranteed level leads to the fixing of a reduction coefficient; whereas, however, provision should be made for suitable measures to ensure that the ewe premium paid as a single premium once only after the end of the marketing year should be determined on the basis of the average pro rata temporis of the basic price applicable before the entry into force of the guarantee limitation arrangements and the basic price reduced by the application of the coefficient after the entry into force of those arrangements;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
