COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1065/86

of 11 April 1986

determining the mountain areas in which the premium for goatmeat producers is granted

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 of 27 June 1980 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 882/86 (2), and in particular Article 5 (1) thereof,

Whereas the second indent of the first subparagraph of Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 provides for the granting of a premium in order to offset, to the extent necessary, income loss by goatmeat producers in mountain areas within the meaning of Article 3 (3) of Directive 75/268/EEC, other than the areas specified in Annex III to Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80, provided that it is established that the production of those areas meets the two criteria set out in the second indent of the first subparagraph of Article 5 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80; whereas the mountain areas in question should therefore be determined;

Whereas in the case of the Member States of the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985 all of France's and Italy's mountain areas within the meaning of the Directive are deemed to meet those criteria; whereas, given that mountain areas within the meaning of Article 3 (3) of the Directive have not yet been laid down in the case of Portugal and Spain, determination of the areas in those two Member States in which goatmeat producers will be eligible for the premium should be deferred;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
