making an initial allocation to France of part of the resources to be charged to the 1990 budget year for the supply of food from intervention stocks to designated organizations for distribution to the most deprived persons in the Community
(89/562/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3730/87 of 10 December 1987 laying down the general rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks to the most deprived persons in the Community (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3744/87 of 14 December 1987 laying down the detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks to the most deprived persons in the Community (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2736/89 (3), and in particular Article 2 (3) 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 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1636/87 (5), and in particular Article 2 (4) thereof,
Whereas on 6 October 1989, France requested Commission authorization to initiate in 1989 the action on its territory to be financed by resources chargeable to the 1990 budget and indicated the quantities of produce that it wished to distribute; whereas it is desirable to initiate the scheme now in France by making an allocation to that country; whereas this allocation shall not exceed 50 % of the resources allocated by Commission Decision to France in respect of the plan for 1989;
Whereas in order to facilitate the implementation of this scheme it is necessary to specify the rate of exchange to be employed in converting the ecu into the national currency and to do so at a rate which reflects economic reality;
Whereas in accordance with the provisions of Article 1 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3744/87 the Commission has sought the advice of major organizations familiar with the problems of the most deprived persons in the Community when drawing up this Decision,
