COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1729/92 of 30 June 1992 laying down detailed implementing rules for the specific measures for supplying the Canary Islands with products from the eggs and poultrymeat sectors

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 (1) of 15 June 1992, introducing specific measures for the Canary Islands concerning certain agricultural products; and in particular Article 3 (4) and 4 (4) thereof,

Whereas in application of Articles 2, 3 and 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92 (2), it is necessary to determine for the eggs and poultrymeat sectors and for the 1992/93 marketing year, on the one hand, the quantities of meat and eggs of the forecast supply balance which benefit from an exemption for the levy on direct imports from third countries or from an aid for deliveries originating from the rest of the Community, and on the other hand, the quantities of breeding material originating in the Community which benefit from an aid with a view to developing the potential for production in the archipelago of the Canaries;

Whereas it is appropriate to fix the amount of the aids referred to above for the supply to the archipelago, on the one hand, in meat and eggs, and on the other hand, of breeding material originating in the rest of the Community; whereas these aids must be fixed taking into account in particular the costs of supply from the world market, conditions due to the geographical situation of the archipelago and the basis of the current prices on export to third countries for the animals or products concerned;

Whereas the common detailed implementing rules for the supply regime for the Canary Islands for certain agricultural products were laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1695/92; whereas it is appropriate to lay down complementary implementing rules adjusted in the light of current commercial practices in the eggs and poultrymeat sectors in particular regarding the duration of the validity of exemption and aid certificates and the amount of the securities ensuring compliance with their obligations by operators;

Whereas with a view to efficiently managing the supply regime, it is necessary to provide for a time limit for the making of requests for certificates and a waiting period for the delivery of the latter;

Whereas, in application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1601/92, the supply regime is applicable from 1 July 1992; whereas it is necessary to provide for application of the detailed implementing rules from the same date;

Whereas the measures provided for in the present regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Eggs and Poultrymeat,
