Whereas Article 6a of Commission Regulation (EC) No 3567/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 122/97 (4), lays down certain rules with respect to the temporary leasing of premium rights and, in particular, the obligation that a producer, over a period of five years from the first leasing, must recover all his rights for himself, for at least two consecutive years; whereas, for the sake of clarity, that provision should be amended to provide that, for each leasing period, it may not extend beyond three consecutive marketing years; whereas, to that end, that amendment should not permit a leasing period extending beyond three consecutive years during the change over from the old to the new rules, while guaranteeing that the rights acquired previously by producers are maintained;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheepmeat and Goatmeat,
