THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1601/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Canary Islands with regard to certain agricultural products (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 93/97 (2), and in particular Article 3 (4) and Article 7 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 82/97 (4), and in particular Article 236 (1) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 2790/94 (5) lays down common detailed rules for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 in particular as regards the specific supply measures;
Whereas, by Regulation (EC) No 2348/96 (6), the Council temporarily extended until 30 June 1997 the specific measures for supplying the Canary Islands with bovine animals for fattening and for consumption locally and certain processed beef and pigmeat products, which had been suspended since 1 July 1996; whereas, following that decision, the supply balances were established and the aid fixed for the products concerned for the first half of 1997 by Commission Regulations (EC) No 75/97 (7) and (EC) No 93/97;
Whereas, as a precaution pending a decision by the Council and in order to ensure that operators who have failed to show some discipline as regards passing prices on to the end-user do not enjoy unwarranted profits, payment of the aid on products coming from the rest of the Community or, as the case may be, reimbursement of customs duties should be made subject, for the second half of 1996, to production of proof of compliance with Regulations (EEC) No 1601/92 and (EC) No 2790/94;
Whereas the aid for supplies from the rest of the Community should be fixed by applying the criteria laid down in Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 and on the basis of the corresponding data for the second half of 1996;
Whereas it should be stipulated that applications for reimbursement of customs duties must be made in accordance with the relevant provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code (8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 12/97 (9);
Whereas, for the sake of sound financial management, provision should be made for aid payments and customs duty reimbursements to relate to the maximum quantity of products covered by administrative documents issued by the Spanish authorities under precautionary management measures covering the arrangements for the period in question;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinions of the Management Committees concerned,
