COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2659/82

of 4 October 1982

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2192/82 laying down detailed rules for the application of the special measures for peas and field beans

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1431/82 of 18 May 1982 laying down special measures for peas and field beans (1), and in particular Article 3 (7) thereof,

Whereas, under Article 29 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2192/82 (2), aid is not paid for peas and field beans containing more than 5 % of skins or skinned seeds, whether or not broken;

Whereas experience has shown that that figure of 5 % is too low and does not meet actual requirements; whereas, accordingly, it should be raised retroactively to 10 %, with the possibility of granting the aid at a reduced rate in respect of seeds, whether or not broken, which exceed that figure;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Dried Fodder,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Article 29 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2192/82 is hereby replaced by the following:

'1. Aid shall be granted only for peas and field beans which are of sound, genuine and merchantable quality.

The aid shall be paid in respect of the checked weight of the product as adjusted by the method laid down in the Annex.

However, for products used in the feeding of animals, containing more than 10 % of skins or skinned seeds, whether or not broken, aid shall be paid in respect of the weight as calculated in accordance with the method specified in the Annex, less the percentage in excess of 10 %.'

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall apply with effect from 1 August 1982.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 4 October 1982.
