Whereas it is appropriate to fix the amount of the aids referred to above for the supply to these Islands, on the one hand, of meat and, on the other hand, of breeding animals originating in the rest of the Community; whereas these aids must be fixed  taking into account in particular the costs of supply from the world market, conditions due to the geographical situation of these Islands and the basis of the current prices on export to third countries for the animals or products concerned;
