COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2900/92  of 5 October 1992  laying down detailed implementing rules for the specific measures for supplying the Canary Islands with breeding rabbits
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Canary Islands with regard to certain agricultural products (1), and in particular Article 4 (4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 of 11 June 1985 on the value of the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2205/90 (3),  and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas in application of Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 it is necessary to determine, for the 1992/93 marketing year, the quantities of breeding rabbits originating in the Community which may receive aid with a view to developing the  production potential of the Canary Islands;
Whereas the amount of the aid referred to above for the supply to the Canaries of breeding rabbits originating in the rest of the Community must also be fixed; whereas this aid must reflect, in particular, the costs of supply from the world market,  conditions due to the geographical situation of the Canaries and current prices for exports of the animals concerned to non-member countries;
Whereas the common detailed rules for implementation of the specific arrangements for the supply of certain agricultural products to the Canary Islands were laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 1695/92 (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2132/92 (5);  whereas complementary implementing rules should be laid down, reflecting current commercial practices in the rabbit sector, in particular regarding the duration of the validity of aid certificates and the amount of the securities ensuring compliance  with their obligations by operators;
Whereas Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1695/92 stipulates that the amount of the aid is that in force on the day the application for the aid certificate is lodged; whereas, therefore, provision should be made for the conversion rate to be used for  payment of the aid and for the lodging of a security for the certificate, to be the agricultural conversion rate in force on the day on which the application for a certificate is lodged;
Whereas with a view to efficiently managing the supply arrangements, it is necessary to provide for a time limit for applications for certificates and a period for their issue;
Whereas in application of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92, the supply arrangements are applicable from 1 July 1992; whereas it is necessary to provide for early application of the detailed implementing rules;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in conformity with the opinion of the Management Committee for Eggs and Poultrymeat,
