COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 642/92 of 13 March 1992 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2814/90 laying down detailed rules for the definition of lambs fattened as heavy carcases

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3901/89 of 12 December 1989 defining lambs as heavy carcases (1), and in particular Article 1 (2) thereof,

Whereas detailed rules for the definition of lambs fattened as heavy carcases were adopted by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2814/90 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3561/91 (3);

Whereas Greece has decided to apply the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3901/89 with effect from the 1992 marketing year; whereas, however, certain administrative difficulties have delayed the implementation of national implementing provisions; whereas, therefore, by way of derogation for the 1992 marketing year in Greece, provision should be made for a longer period for the submission of premium applications and a shorter period for the submission of specific declarations;

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:
