COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2296/98 of 23 October 1998 amending Regulation (EC) No 28/97 and assessing requirements for the supply of certain vegetable oils (other than olive oil) for the processing industry in the French overseas departments
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91 of 16 December 1991 introducing specific measures in respect of certain agricultural products for the benefit of the French overseas departments (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2598/95 (2), and in particular Article 2(6) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 28/97 of 9 January 1997 laying down detailed rules for implementation of the specific measures for the supply of certain vegetable oils for the processing industry in the French overseas departments and assessing supply requirements (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 96/98 (4), establishes the supply requirements for those products for 1998;
Whereas for 1998 the supply requirements of the department of RĂŠunion are assessed at 8 000 tonnes in the case of vegetable oils (other than olive oil); whereas the information supplied by the French authorities indicates that this quantity will be insufficient to cover the requirements of RĂŠunion's processing industry; whereas it should therefore be increased to 9 200 tonnes; whereas the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 28/97 should therefore be amended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,
