(83/552/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2681/74 of 21 October 1974 on Community financing of expenditure incurred in respect of the supply of agricultural products as food aid (1),

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1052/73 of 17 April 1973 on the supply of sugar to UNRWA as food aid pursuant to the Agreement with that agency dated 18 December 1972 (2), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

Having consulted the EAGGF Committee,

Whereas the Kingdom of Denmark has supplied to the Commission the supporting statements required for the clearance of the accounts pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1052/73;

Whereas, under Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1052/73, only the value of the goods and the appropriate forwarding and distribution costs may be financed according to the relevant rules; whereas the inspections carried out show that part of the expenditure declared, totalling Dkr 3 024, does not satisfy this requirement and must therefore be disallowed; whereas the Member State has been fully informed of this deduction and has had an opportunity to state its views thereon,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

The accounts of the departments and agencies empowered by the Kingdom of Denmark to pay expenditure incurred in the 1975 financial year, on sugar supplied as food aid, shall be cleared as indicated in the Annex hereto.
