Whereas, in application of Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 it is necessary to determine for the eggs and poultrymeat sectors and for the 1992/93 marketing year the quantities of breeding material originating in the Community which benefit from  an aid with a view to developing the potential for production in the Azores and Madeira;
Whereas it is appropriate to fix the amount of the aids referred to above for the supply to the Azores and Madeira of breeding material 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 the Azores and Madeira and the basis of the current prices on export to third countries for the animals or products concerned;
Whereas the common detailed implementing rules for the supply regime for the Azores and Madeira for certain agricultural products were laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1696/92 (2); whereas it is appropriate to lay down complementary  implementing rules adjusted in the light of current commercial practices in the eggs and poultrymeat sectors in particular regarding the duration of the validity of aid certificates and the amount of the securities ensuring compliance with their  obligations by operators;
