COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 852/2006

of 9 June 2006

amending Regulation (EC) No 793/2006 laying down certain detailed rules for applying Council Regulation (EC) No 247/2006 laying down specific measures for agriculture in the outermost regions of the Union

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 247/2006 of 30 January 2006 laying down specific measures for agriculture in the outermost regions of the Union (1), and in particular Article 30 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 247/2006 replaces the existing arrangements in the outermost regions, which are laid down by Council Regulations (EC) No 1452/2001 (2), (EC) No 1453/2001 (3) and (EC) No 1454/2001 (4), and repeals those Regulations. Under Article 33 thereof, it is to apply for each Member State concerned as from the date on which the Commission notifies its approval of the overall programme referred to in Article 24(1).

(2)

Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 247/2006 provides that Regulations (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001 and (EC) No 1454/2001 are to apply until the date on which the Commission notifies the Member State concerned of its approval of the overall programme referred to in Article 24(1) of Regulation (EC) No 247/2006. It should be specified, therefore, that the measures adopted to implement Regulations (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001 and (EC) No 1454/2001 are to apply only until that date.

(3)

In this connection, provision should be made for applications lodged under the measures adopted to implement Regulations (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001 and (EC) No 1454/2001 and pending on the date of notification of the overall programme referred to in Article 24(1) of Regulation (EC) No 247/2006 to be dealt with under the arrangements introduced by that Regulation and, in particular, in the context of the overall programme referred to in Article 24(1) thereof.

(4)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 793/2006 (5) should therefore be amended in order to introduce the transitional measures required to ensure a smooth transition from the arrangements in force for 2005 to the measures introduced by Regulation (EC) No 247/2006.

(5)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Direct Payments,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
