COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 279/94 of 8 February 1994 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2700/93 on detailed rules for the application of the premium in favour of sheepmeat and goatmeat producers
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 233/94 (2), and in particular Article 5 (9) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3493/90 of 27 November 1990 laying down general rules for the granting of premiums to sheepmeat and goatmeat producers (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 233/94, and in particular the second paragraph of Article 1 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2700/93 (4), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 80/94 (5), pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92 (6), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 165/94 (7), and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3887/92 (8) regarding the integrated administration and control system for certain Community aid schemes, provides for the obligation whereby, as from the 1994 marketing year, producers must keep the number of ewes and/or goats in respect of which the premium is applied for on his holding during the retention period; whereas the application of this rule in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector would lead to the discontinuation of a traditional practice in some Member States; whereas, therefore, provision should be made to allow those practices to be continued under certain conditions and, in that connection, to derogate from the definition of a holding as used in the context of the integrated administration and control system; whereas, in the case of animals placed in agistment, it is necessary to ensure that animals moved are identified in order to make possible their effective control and to notify in advance the periods and places where the movement is to be carried out;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
