COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 788/89
of 20 March 1989
amending Regulation (EEC) No 3247/81 on the financing by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section, of certain intervention measures, particularly those involving the buying-in, storage and sale of agricultural products by intervention agencies
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 of 2 August 1978 laying down general rules for the financing of interventions by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 787/89 (2), and in particular Article 4 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, as a result of the amendment, made by Regulation (EEC) No 2050/80 (3), of Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78, which provides for depreciation of the purchase value of products bought into public intervention, the carry-over prices specified in Article 4 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3247/81 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2632/85 (5), no longer correspond to the prices to be repaid to the EAGGF Guarantee Section should the product taken into storage have deteriorated or been destroyed; whereas a new price reference applicable in such cases must be determined;
Whereas the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3247/81 should also be adapted to take account of the financing, according to the system of standard amounts, of special measures to guarantee the utilization and/or destination of products held by intervention agencies for given purposes, pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78,
