THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Azores and Madeira relating to certain agricultural products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2348/96 (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 provides for the establishment for the beef and veal sector of the quantities of the specific supply balances for the Azores and Madeira regarding beef and veal and pure-bred breeding animals;

Whereas the quantities in the forecast supply balance for those products are fixed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1913/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1329/96 (4);

Whereas, pending a communication from the competent authorities updating the needs of the regions in question and so as not to interrupt the application of the specific supply arrangements, the balance for the period 1 July to 31 December 1997 should be adopted;

Whereas the level of the aid for the products included in the forecast supply balance and coming from the Community market is fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 1913/92;

Whereas application of the criteria for fixing the amount of Community aid to the current market situation in the sector in question and, in particular, to the exchange rates and prices for those products in the European part of the Community and on the world market, gives rise to aid for the supply of the Azores and Madeira with beef and veal sector products at the levels fixed in the Annex hereto;

Whereas, pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92, the supply arrangements are applicable from 1 July; whereas the provisions of this Regulation should therefore apply immediately;

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