COMMISSION  REGULATION ( EEC ) No 3447/90
of 28 November 1990
on special conditions for the granting of private storage aid for sheepmeat and goatmeat
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat ( 1 ), and in particular Article 7 ( 5 ) thereof,
Whereas the provisions of Commission Regulation ( EEC ) No 3446/90 of 27 November 1990 laying down detailed rules for granting private storage aid for sheepmeat and goatmeat ( 2 ), should be followed in respect of the grant of private storage aid for sheepmeat; whereas it is appropriate to complete or to adapt these provisions;
Whereas Article 3 of Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 2644/80 ( 3 ) provides that, if the market situation so requires, the period of storage may be curtailed or extended; whereas it is therefore appropriate that, in addition to the amounts of aid granted for a specific storage period, amounts to be added or reduced in the event of that period being extended or curtailed should also be fixed;
Whereas foreseeable market conditions make it necessary to provide for flexible storage periods of between three and seven months;
Whereas it is appropriate in order to ensure genuine tenders, to determine the minimum quantity which may be stored;
Whereas, a security of ECU 120 per tonne seems appropriate to guarantee compliance with the obligations linked to private storage;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
