COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3792/90 of 21 December 1990 on special conditions for the granting of private storage aid for pigmeat
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3906/87 (2), and in particular Articles 4 (6), 5 (4), 7 (2) and the second subparagraph of Article 22 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90 of 4 December 1990, on the transitional measures and adjustments required in the agricultural sector as a result of German unification (3) and in particular Article 3,
Whereas intervention measures may be taken in respect of pigmeat if, on the representative markets of the Community, the average price for pig carcases is less than 103 % of the basic price and is likely to remain below that level;
Whereas the market situation has been characterized by a marked fall in prices below the level mentioned ; whereas, in view of seasonal and cyclical trends, this situation could persist;
Whereas intervention measures must be taken ; whereas these can be limited to the granting of private storage aid;
Whereas Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2763/75 (4) provides that the period of storage can be curtailed or extended if the market situation so requires ; whereas Article 9 (4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3444/90 (5), provides for early withdrawal from store for export ; whereas the period of storage may also be curtailed in case of force majeure as referred to in Article 10 of the said Regulation ; whereas, therefore, provision should be made to fix not only the amounts of aid for a specific period of storage but also the amounts to be added or deducted if this period is curtailed or extended;
Whereas, in order to facilitate administrative and control work resulting from the conclusion of contracts, minimum quantities should be fixed;
Whereas the security should be fixed at a level such as will oblige the storter to fulfil the obligations undertaken by him;
Whereas there is reason to exclude certain products destined for export from the benefits of this Regulation because the Commission has authorized the payment of a supplementary export refund from national funds for these products;
Whereas the Management Committee for Pigmeat has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by the Chairman,
