Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91 of 16 December 1991 introducing specific measures in respect of certain agricultural products for the benefit of the French overseas departments (1), and in particular Article 4 (5) and 9 thereof,
Whereas, for the purposes of Articles 4 and 7 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91, the number of pure-bred breeding animals originating in the Community eligible for aid with a view to developing the potential for production in the French overseas  departments (FOD) and the number of male animals eligible for exemption from duties on direct imports from third countries or for aid for deliveries originating in the rest of the Community for the beef-veal sector and for the 1992/93 marketing year  should be determined;
Whereas the amount of the aid referred to above for the supply to the FOD of male animals and of breeding animals originating in the rest of the Community should be laid down; whereas, in the case of male animals, this aid should be fixed so that the  conditions of supply for deliveries within the Community may be equivalent to those for deliveries from the world market; whereas, in the case of pure-bred breeding animals, this aid is to be laid down with regard to the criteria in Article 4 (3) of  Regulation (EEC) No 3763/91;
Whereas the common detailed rules for implementation of the specific measures for the supply of certain agricultural products to the FOD were laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 131/92 (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2132/92 (3); whereas  supplementary implementing rules geared to current commercial practices in the beef and veal sector, in particular regarding the perid of validity of import licences and aid certificates and the amount of the securities to ensure that operators comply  with their obligations, should be laid down;
Whereas eligibility for the specific measures for supply for fattening in the FOD assumes the that the animals in question are fattened and consumed on the spot; whereas appropriate securities and checks should be instituted to ensure compliance with  these conditions;
Whereas, for the purposes of the sound administrative management of the supply arrangements, a time limit for submitting applications for licences and certificates and a perid of reflection before they are issued should be laid down;
Whereas Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 131/92 provides for transitional supply arrangements to apply until 30 June 1992; whereas this Regulation should apply from 1 July 1992;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
