Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 (1), of 15 June 1992, introducing specific measures for the Canary Islands concerning certain agricultural products, and in particular Articles 20 (3) and 21 thereof,
Whereas in application of Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 it is necessary to determine for seed potatoes quantities of the forecast supply balance which benefit from an exemption of the levy on direct imports from third countries or from  aid for deliveries originating from the rest of the Community;
Whereas this aid must be fixed taking into account the costs of supply from the world market, and the conditions due to the geographical situation of the Canary Islands;
Whereas Article 20 of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 provides that aid per hectare is granted for the production of ware potatoes up to a ceiling of an area of 12 000 hectares per year, planted and harvested;
Whereas Article 21 of Regulation 1601/92 provides for a restriction on deliveries of ware potatoes to the Canary Islands from third countries, or from the rest of the Community, in order to avoid disturbance of the market during the periods which are  crucial for the marketing of the Canary Islands' production; whereas it is appropriate to fix the sensitive period as well as the maximum quantities of potatoes to be delivered to the Canary Islands during the second semester of 1992;
Whereas the provisions provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 are applicable as from 1 July 1992; it is appropriate to apply the terms of this Regulation as from the same date;
Whereas the measures provided for in the present regulation are in conformity with the opinion of the Management Committee for seeds,
