COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2518/97 of 16 December 1997 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1913/92 laying down detailed rules for implementing the specific arrangements for supplying the Azores and Madeira with beef and veal sector products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Azores and Madeira relating to certain agricultural products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2348/96 (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 provides for the establishment for the beef and veal sector of the quantities of the specific supply balances for the Azores and Madeira regarding beef and veal and pure-bred breeding animals;
Whereas the quantities in the forecast supply balance for those products are fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1913/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1265/97 (4);
Whereas, pending a communication from the competent authorities updating the requirements of Madeira, and so as not to interrupt application of the specific supply arrangements, the balance was drawn up for the period 1 July to 31 December 1997 by Regulation (EC) No 1265/97; whereas as a result of the presentation by the Portuguese authorities of information on the needs of Madeira, it was possible to establish the balance for the entire 1997/98 marketing year; whereas the Annexes to Regulation (EEC) No 1913/92 should thus be replaced by the Annexes to this Regulation;
Whereas the supply arrangements are laid down for the period 1 July to 30 June; whereas the definitive supply balance for the 1997/98 marketing year should therefore apply from the start of that year, i.e. 1 July 1997;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
