THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1357/80 of 5 June 1980 introducing a system of premiums for maintaining suckler cows (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1187/90 (2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,

Whereas Article 3 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1244/82 laying down detailed rules implementing the system of premiums for maintaining suckler cows (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2079/90 (4), provides, in the version which applies to applications submitted in respect of the 1989/90 marketing year, for a time limit of 15 months for payment of the premium to producers;

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