Whereas in order to implement the scheme for the supply of such food to the most deprived section of the population, to be financed from resources available in the 1989 budget year, the Commission must adopt a plan; whereas this plan should indicate in particular the quantity of products by type that may be withdrawn from intervention stock for distribution in each Member State and the financial resources made available to implement the plan in each Member State; whereas this plan should also indicate the level of appropriations to be reserved to cover costs of intra-Community transport of intervention products as referred to in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3744/87;
