THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 468/87 of 10 February 1987 laying down general rules applying to the special premium for beef producers (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 572/89 (2), and in particular Article 3 (2) thereof,

Whereas Commission Decision 87/544/EEC (3), as amended by Decision 89/38/EEC (4), authorized Belgium to stipulate that applications for the special premium lodged between 6 April 1987 and 5 March 1989 were to cover not less than a certain number of animals;

Whereas, pending the new premium arrangements for the beef and veal sector, the Council has extended the period of availability of the special premium to 2 April 1989; whereas Decision 87/544/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

In Article 1 of Decision 87/544/EEC, '5 March 1989' is hereby replaced by '2 April 1989'.
