COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2383/97 of 28 November 1997 amending Regulation (EC) No 1273/97 establishing a forecast balance for the supply to the Azores and Madeira of cereal products covered by the specific measures provided for in Articles 2 to 10 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Azores and Madeira, with regard to certain agricultural products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2348/96 (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas the quantities of products eligible for the specific supply arrangements are determined by means of periodic forecast balances which may be revised according to the essential requirements of the market taking into account local production and traditional trade flows;
Whereas, pending a communication from the competent authorities updating the requirements of Azores and Madeira, and so as not to interrupt application of the specific supply arrangements, the balance was drawn up for the period 1 July to 31 December 1997 by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1273/97 (3); whereas as a result of the presentation by the Portuguese authorities of information on the needs of the Azores and Madeira, it was possible to establish the balance for the entire 1997/98 marketing year; whereas the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1273/97 should thus be replaced by the Annex to this Regulation;
Whereas the supply arrangements are laid down for the period 1 July to 30 June; whereas the definitive supply balance for the 1997/98 marketing year should therefore apply from the start of that year, i.e. 1 July 1997;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
