COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1062/93 of 30 April 1993 on the transport and sale of fodder grain held by the Spanish intervention agency for disposal to stockfarmers established in certain regions of Spain
THE COMMISSION 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 1738/92 (2), and in particular Article 7 (5) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3492/90 of 27 November 1990 laying down the factors to be taken into consideration in the annual accounts for the financing of intervention measures in the form of public storage by the European Agricultural  Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section (3), and in particular Article 1 thereof,
Whereas Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1581/86 of 23 May 1986 laying down general rules for intervention on the market in cereals (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2203/90 (5), provides that cereals held by the intervention agency  are to be disposed of by invitation to tender;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 966/93 (7), lays down the procedure and the conditions for the disposal of cereals held by intervention agencies;
Whereas, as a result of the persisting drought, certain regions of Spain are suffering from a severe shortage of fodder and fodder grain; whereas this situation is a threat to stockfarmers, who, being unable to obtain fodder at a reasonable price, may  be forced to sell their livestock prematurely; whereas appropriate action should be taken in order to avoid such negative consequences;
Whereas Spain has large intervention stocks, part of which are stored in regions other than those affected; whereas Spain has notified the reasons necessitating the transport to the affected regions of quantities of fodder grain taken over by this  intervention agency; whereas these reasons justify the approval of such transport at the lowest cost;
Whereas stockfarming has been particularly affected by the drought; whereas the use of the cereals should therefore be limited to drought-stricken stockfarmers established in those regions; whereas all necessary measures must be taken by the Member  State to monitor such use;
Whereas a security must be put up to gaurantee the performance of the operation;
Whereas the provision of fodder grain is insufficient to resolve the existing difficulties facing stockfarmers; whereas, in view of the special circumstances, deferred payment for cereals purchased should be permitted;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
