THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2019/93 of 19 July 1993 introducing specific measures for the smaller Aegean islands concerning certain agricultural products(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 442/2002(2), and in particular Article 6(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EEC) No 2019/93, which lays down in particular specific measures in favour of livestock farming in the beef and veal sector in the smaller Aegean Islands, was substantially amended by Regulation (EC) No 442/2002. Following this amendment, for the purpose of legal clarity, new provisions should be adopted to implement that Regulation as regards the supplementary aid for beef and veal producers and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2889/93 of 21 October 1993 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 2019/93 as regards the supplements to the special premium for producers of beef and veal and to the premium for maintaining suckler cows(3) should be repealed.
(2) Under Article 6(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2019/93, fattening aid for male bovine animals is granted to beef and veal producers on top of the special premium provided for in Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal(4), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2345/2001(5). Under the second subparagraph of Article 6(2) thereof, this supplement is to be granted up to a limit of 12000 male bovines per year within the regional ceiling set in Article 4(1) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999.
(3) To avoid complicating the administrative management, provision should be made for a single application to be submitted for the supplementary aid under Regulation (EEC) No 2019/93 and the premiums under Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
