COMMISSION DECISION of 28 March 1996 amending Decision 95/424/EC adopting the plan allocating to the Member States resources to be charged to the 1996 budget year for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Community (96/263/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3730/87 of 10 December 1987 laying down the general rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks to designated organizations for distribution to the most deprived persons in the Community (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2535/95 (2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 267/96 (4), sets detailed rules for the supply of food from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most deprived persons in the Community; whereas it also contains provisions on mobilization on the Community market should intervention stocks of certain products not be available at the time;

Whereas the Commission by Decision 95/424/EC (5) adopted the plan allocating 1996 budget resources to the Member States; whereas this plan determines the amounts available to execute the 1996 plan in each Member State and sets the quantities of each product to be withdrawn from intervention stocks; whereas when it was adopted availability in intervention storage of certain products was lower than the requirements expressed by Member States; whereas the product quantities to be withdrawn form intervention should be adjusted to take account of present availability and allocations made for mobilization on the market of products not available in intervention storage; whereas unused resources notified to the Commission should be reassigned pursuant to Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of all the relevant management committees,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
