COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 489/94 of 4 March 1994 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92 concerning the detailed rules for the application of the premium schemes provided for in the beef and veal sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3611/93 (2), and in particular Article 4d (8) and Article 4e (5) thereof,
Whereas, under Article 34 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 29/94 (4) transfers of rights to the suckler-cow premium and temporary leasing of such rights will, as from 1994, be effective only after  they have been notified to the competent authorities not less than two months before the first day of the period laid down for the submission of applications; whereas, on account of administrative difficulties arising from implementation of the rules on  management of the individual ceilings, certain Member States have been unable to comply with that provision; whereas, in order not to penalize the producers concerned, it is accordingly, necessary to authorize the Member States, for the 1994 calendar  year, to set a shorter period;
Whereas in 1993 similar administrative difficulties led to substantial delays in the setting of such individual ceilings; whereas, consequently, certain producers were not able to make transfers of rights or temporary leases within the time limit  specified; whereas the Member States should therefore be authorized, subject to certain conditions, to set for 1993 a second period for notification by the producers concerned of such transfers or temporary leasing of rights; whereas similar  difficulties can be expected in 1994; whereas this second time limit should therefore be allowed for 1994 as well;
Whereas Article 38 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92 provides that any applications submitted in respect of 1993 for a number of animals in excess of the individual ceiling fixed by the authorities of the Member State are to be reduced to the number  corresponding to the said ceiling; whereas, given the administrative problems in certain Member States entailing delays in the allocation of individual ceilings, this provision should be made to apply also for the years subsequent to 1993;
Whereas Article 58 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3886/92 provides for a temporary derogation in certain circumstances from the definition of suckler cow for producers who received the premium for 1990 and 1991; whereas 1991 was the first year of  application of the suckler cow premium to producers in the Azores; whereas, consequently, by virtue of the particular situation of the Azores, certain Azorean producers did not apply for the premium, or were excluded from the premium arrangements, or  had the premium amounts they had applied for reduced; whereas the 1990 deadline should therefore be replaced by 1992; whereas since the abovementioned derogation concerns applications already submitted for 1993 it should be made to apply from 1 January  1993;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
