THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),

Whereas Article 24 of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 (2) laid down transitional provisions for 1990, 1991 and 1992 on condition that the United Kingdom applied the variable slaughter premium, in order to achieve gradually a single premium scheme not later than 1993; whereas the United Kingdom decided to abolish the said premium from the beginning of the 1992 marketing year; whereas, however, in view of the monetary upheavals which have had considerable effects on the Community market in sheepmeat in 1992, particularly in Ireland and Northern Ireland, the transitional provisions should be extended until the end of the 1992 marketing year for that area;
