COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 601/94 of 17 March 1994 for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 165/94 as regards to laying down detailed rules co-financing by the Community of remote sensing checks on agricultural areas
THE  COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 165/94 of 24 January 1994 concerning the co-financing by the Community of remote sensing checks and amending Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92 establishing an integrated administration and control system for certain  Community aid schemes (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof,
Whereas the rational organization of remote sensing checks requires that decisions be taken in good time on participation in the Community programme, the selection of control areas, the specifications to be followed by those providing services and the  terms of the contracts to be concluded with them; whereas the Commission must be allowed the opportunity to give its opinion before a final decision is taken;
Whereas, as soon as a programme is accepted, an advance based on the total expenditure may be paid; whereas a maximum advance of 75 % of the total forecast expenditure appears reasonable; whereas provision should be made for the recovery of unused  advances and unproven expenditure;
Whereas, given that a reallocation of unused appropriations is provided for, such reallocation should be effected as quickly as possible on the basis of a forecast, to enable the recipient Member States to revise their programmes accordingly; whereas  provision may be made for a second reallocation on final closure of the accounts;
Whereas arrangements must be laid down for the reimbursement of expenditure or the supply of satellite pictures free of charge according to whether the Member State has purchased the pictures itself or requested them from the Commission;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the EAGGF Committee,
