Whereas Article 1 (4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 467/77 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 400/85 (4), states that where payment for a product bought in by an intervention agency is effected after a certain period, the quantities to be used for the calculation of interest charges are to be reduced;

The following subparagraph is hereby added to Article 1 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 467/77:
'Where the calculation of average stock at the end of the year gives a negative result once the reduction referred to in the first subparagraph has been effected, that amount shall be deducted from the average stock calculated for the following financial year.'

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1273/88 of 29 April 1988 laying down criteria for delimiting the regions or areas which may be exempted from the schemes for the set-aside of arable land, extensification and conversion of production (3),
Whereas Italy has submitted an application to be exempted from the scheme for the set-aside of arable land in respect of the autonomus province of Trento; whereas this area accounts for 0,05 % of the arable land in Italy;
Whereas in view of the high risk of depopulation the area in question meets the criteria laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1273/88;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development,

Whereas, in the case of beef and veal, that limit of ECU 5 corresponds to one head of livestock or 200 kilograms of meat; whereas that limit has proved much too low, in particular for certain traditional transborder trade flows; whereas a derogation from Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 should accordingly be provided for to increase that amount to ECU 60;

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
