of 27 January 2006
amending Regulation (EC) No 1819/2005 adopting a plan allocating resources to the Member States to be charged against 2006 budget year for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Community
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3730/87 of 10 December 1987 laying down the general rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks to designated organisations for distribution to the most deprived persons in the Community (1), and in particular Article 6 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 of 15 December 1998 establishing agrimonetary arrangements for the euro (2), and in particular Article 3(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In accordance with Article 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 of 29 October 1992 laying down detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Community (3), Commission Regulation (EC) No 1819/2005 (4) adopted the distribution plan to be financed from resources available in the 2006 budget year. The plan lays down in particular, for each of the Member States applying the measure, the maximum financial resources available to carry out its part of the plan, the quantity of each type of product to be withdrawn from the stocks held by the intervention agencies, and the grants for purchase of certain products on the market.
(2) To take into account the specific necessities of Greece, the annual plan 2006 should be amended to authorise the withdrawal of rice in payment for cereals and cereal based products, in accordance with the fourth subparagraph of Article 4(1)(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92. Therefore the quantity of rice initially allocated to Greece, as set in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1819/2005, should be adapted accordingly.
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1819/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinions of all the relevant management committees,
