Whereas:
(1) The areas eligible for the premium for goatmeat producers are listed in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2550/2001 of 21 December 2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2529/2001 on the common organisation of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat as regards premium schemes and amending Regulation (EC) No 2419/2001(2), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 623/2002(3).
