COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3295/89

of 31 October 1989

fixing the additional levy and the reimbursement in the cereals sector for the 1989/90 marketing year

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2860/89 (2), and in particular Articles 4 (5) and 4b (5) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/89 of 20 March 1989 laying down general rules for the special arrangements applicable to small producers as part of the co-responsibility arrangements in the cereals sector (3), and in particular Article 2 (4) thereof,

Whereas the Commission has ascertained that cereal production in 1989/90 exceeds the maximum guaranteed quantity by 500 000 tonnes; whereas, as a result of this finding, the additional co-responsibility levy should be fixed at 0,31 % of the intervention price applicable for common wheat;

Whereas, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1432/88 of 26 May 1988 laying down detailed rules for applying the co-responsibility levy in the cereals sector (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2712/89 (5), the difference between the provisional additional co-responsibility levy and the definitive additional co-responsibility levy is to be reimbursed to the producers;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1487/89 of 30 May 1989 fixing the additional co-responsibility levy on cereals for the 1989/90 marketing year (6) fixes the additional co-responsibility levy provisionally; whereas that Regulation should be repealed;

Whereas, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 729/89, the overall aid for small producers is to be reduced by the amount of the co-responsibility levy reimbursed; whereas that result may be attained by applying a coefficient to the amounts allocated to the Member States by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 743/89 of 21 March 1989 laying down detailed rules for the application of a direct aid scheme for small producers of cereals (7);

Whereas, in the interest of the producers and taking the administrative requirements into account, the definitive additional co-responsibility levy should be applied from 1 November 1989;

Whereas the Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
