No aid shall be granted for the supply of products which have already benefited from the specific supply arrangements in another outermost region.

In particular they shall fix the conditions for the application of the aid arrangements referred to in paragraph 1, the conditions for proper maintenance of olive groves and the control provisions.

Processing undertakings should be approved by the competent agency of the Member State concerned and have an accounting system adapted to the requirements of the aid arrangements;

Under Article 11a of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, Member States shall take specific and appropriate measures to apply sanctions in the event of any breaches of the consumption aid arrangements, particularly where it is noted that:

Such studies are especially useful to assist the clinician in establishing dosage regimens (route and site of administration, dose, dosing interval, number of administrations, etc.) and to adopt dosage regimens according to certain population variables (e.g. age, disease).

whereas in view of the abovementioned changes to be made in the aid arrangements the detailed rules of application should be regrouped in a new Regulation and Regulation (EEC) No 756/70 repealed;

The competent authorities shall carry out the necessary checks to ensure the accuracy of the attestations referred to in the first subparagraph and shall recover, where appropriate, the aid granted under the specific supply arrangements.

For the purposes of applying Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1452/2001, Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1453/2001 and Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1454/2001, supply balances must be drawn up for the products covered by specific supply arrangements and the quantities of products covered by the specific supply arrangements must be laid down, together with the aid for supplies from the Community.

Under Article 11a of Regulation No 136/66/EEC, producer Member States shall take specific and appropriate measures in order to penalize any breaches of the production-aid arrangements, particularly where it has been noted that:

For products covered by the specific supply arrangements, import licences, exemption certificates and aid certificates must be presented to the customs authorities with a view to completing the customs formalities within no more than 15 working days from the date of unloading of the goods.

In order to be eligible for one of the Community schemes or arrangements referred to in Article 1 (1) (b), each farmer shall submit one or more 'animal' aid applications, at the latest by the dates set by the schemes concerned.

The quantities of products eligible for the specific supply arrangements are determined by means of periodic forecast balances which may be revised according to the essential requirements of the market taking into account local production and traditional trade flows.

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1624/76 of 2 July 1976 concerning special arrangements for the payment of aid for skimmed-milk powder denatured or processed into compound feedingstuffs in the territory of another Member State (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 100/85 (8),

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2958/93(2) laid down common detailed rules for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2019/93 as regards the specific arrangements for the supply of certain agricultural products to the smaller Aegean islands and, pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2019/93, the amount of aid for this supply.

this aim can be achieved on the one hand by continuing aid to develop cow's milk production within the limits of local consumption requirements as periodically evaluated under a supply balance, and on the other hand by ceasing to apply the arrangements for an additional levy on cow's milk producers laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92(4);

Under the arrangements referred to in this Title, aids shall be granted for the supply to the smaller islands of the products listed in the Annex hereto, taking particular account of the specific needs of those islands and, where the products are food, the precise quality requirements and quantitative needs.

Article 2 Eligibility rules Within the limits of the annual Community financial assistance granted to the laboratories, the eligibility rules set out in Annex II shall apply to expenditure linked to staff, capital equipment, consumables, shipment of samples for the comparative tests, missions and overheads.

In the light of the higher amount of aid under the new regime and of the greater transparency resulting from a fixed flat-rate premium provision should be made in order to protect the interests of producers for applications already made under the previous regime to be considered as applications under the new.

Point 3 of Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1433/2003 of 11 August 2003 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards operational programmes, operational funds and Community financial assistance(8) determines the maximum amount of overheads eligible for inclusion in an operational programme.

the arrangements laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1105/68 of 27 July 1968 on detailed rules for granting aid for skimmed milk for use as feed(15), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1802/95, have proved difficult to implement and checks on beneficiaries are problematic.

Article 63 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1623/2000 of 25 July 2000 laying down detailed rules for implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine with regard to market mechanisms(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1660/2001(4), provide for the introduction of an aid scheme for the distillation of potable alcohol from wine.

whereas the same applies to butter sold under the arrangements laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 of 16 February 1988 on the sale of butter at reduced prices and the granting of aid for cream, butter an concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other food stuffs (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1813/93 (8);

Whereas the new common detailed rules for implementation of the specific arrangements for the supply of certain agriculture products to the Canary Islands established by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2790/94 (5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2883/94 (6), which enter into force on 1 December 1994, no longer lay down that a security must be lodged before an aid certificate is issued and define a new operative event for the rate to be used for converting supply aid into Spanish pesetas;

whereas the same procedure is followed for the sale of butter under the arrangements laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2571/97 of 15 December 1997 on the sale of butter at reduced prices and the granting of aid for cream, butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, icecream and other foodstuffs (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1982/98 (6);

whereas the said arrangements should be altered and, on the one hand, the amount of aid and the intervention buying-in price should be reduced within certain limits if the estimated quantities exceed the maximum quantities laid down for the current marketing year and, on the other hand, the maximum quantities of the following marketing year should be adjusted if the quantities actually produced turn out to be different from the estimated quantities,

To take account of the new arrangements and of past experience, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1725/79 of 26 July 1979 on the rules for granting aid to skimmed milk processed into compound feedingstuffs and skimmed-milk powder intended for feed for calves(6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 83/96(7), should be amended and, where necessary, simplified.

If the state of execution of a forecast supply balance indicates a significant increase in applications for import licences, exemption certificates or aid certificates for a given product which might jeopardise achievement of one or more of the objectives of the specific supply arrangements, the competent authorities shall immediately inform the Commission thereof, providing all relevant information on the supply needs of the outermost region concerned.

Whereas point 2 of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No 411/97 of 3 March 1997 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards operational programmes, operational funds and Community financial assistance (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1647/98 (5), determines the maximum amount of the overheads eligible for inclusion in an operational programme, whereas that amount is an annual sum;

Council Regulations (EEC) No 2644/80 of 14 October 1980 laying down general rules for intervention with regard to the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector(4), (EEC) No 3901/89 of 12 December 1989 defining lambs fattened as heavy carcasses(5), (EEC) No 1323/90 of 14 May 1990 instituting specific aid for sheep and goat farming in certain less-favoured areas of the Community(6), (EEC) No 3493/90 of 27 November 1990 laying down general rules for the granting of premiums to sheepmeat and goatmeat producers(7), (EEC) No 338/91 of 5 February 1991 determining the Community standard quality of fresh or chilled sheep carcasses(8) and Council Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 of 3 November 1998 on the common organisation of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat(9) are replaced by new arrangements in this Regulation and should therefore be repealed.
