Council Regulation (EC) No 2028/2002
of 11 November 2002
amending Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 establishing an additional levy in the milk and milk products sector
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Whereas:
(1) In order to permit the maintenance of traditional dairy farming in Madeira, Council Regulation (EC) No 1453/2001 of 28 June 2001 introducing specific measures for certain agricultural products for the Azores and Madeira(3) stipulates that Council Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92(4) is not, within the limit of local production, to apply to Madeira.
(2) Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 sets the reference quantities applicable in each Member State. The exemption must not affect application of the levy arrangements in Portugal. The reference quantity for Portugal should therefore be reduced by an amount equal to that of the quantities available to producers in Madeira that were used in determining it. The Annex to the Regulation should be amended accordingly, with effect from 1 April 2001,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 shall be replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply as from 1 April 2001.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 11 November 2002.
