The plan should lay down in particular, for each of the Member States applying the measure, the maximum financial resources available to carry out its part of the plan, and the quantity of each type of product to be withdrawn from the stocks held by the intervention agencies. (2) The Member States involved in the plan for the 2008 budget year have supplied the information required in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92. (3) For the purposes of resource allocation, account must be taken of experience and of the degree to which the Member States used the resources allocated to them in previous years. (4) Article 2(3)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 provides for the allocation of resources for the purchase on the market of products temporarily unavailable in intervention stocks. Given that the stocks of cereals, skimmed-milk powder and rice currently held by the intervention agencies are very low and that measures have already been taken, regarding both their sale on the market and their distribution under Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92, and given the fact that no sale of these foods is planned for 2007, these resource allocations should be fixed to enable the purchase on the market of cereals, skimmed-milk powder and rice as required to implement the plan for the 2008 budget year. (5) Article 7(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 provides for the transfer between Member States of products unavailable in the intervention stocks of the Member State in which such products are required to implement the annual plan. Accordingly the intra-Community transfers necessary to implement the plan for 2008 should be authorised, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92. (6) To implement the plan, the operative event within the meaning of Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 should be the date on which the financial year for administration of stocks in public storage starts. (7) In accordance with Article 2(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92, the Commission has consulted the major organisations familiar with the problems of the most deprived persons in the Community when drawing up the plan. (8) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: ## 1 In 2008, the distribution of food to the most deprived persons in the Community under Regulation (EEC) No 3730/87 shall be implemented in accordance with the annual distribution plan set out in Annex I to this Regulation. ## 2 Allocations to Member States for the purchase of cereals, skimmed-milk powder and rice on the market, as required under the plan referred to in Article 1, shall be as set out in Annex II. ## 3 The intra-Community transfer of the products listed in Annex III to this Regulation shall be authorised, subject to the conditions laid down in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92. ## 4 For the purpose of implementing the annual plan referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation, the date of the operative event within the meaning of Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 2799/98 shall be 1 October 2007. ## 5 This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. ## Signature This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. ## Annex I: ANNUAL DISTRIBUTION PLAN FOR 2008 ## (a) Financial resources made available to implement the plan in each Member State: (in EUR) Member State Distribution Belgique/België 8 461 691 България 7 007 310 Česká republika 155 443 Eesti 192 388 Éire/Ireland 155 965 Elláda 13 228 830 España 50 419 083 France 50 982 533 Italia 69 614 288 Latvija 153 910 Lietuva 4 456 991 Luxembourg 81 091 Magyarország 8 169 224 Malta 378 242 Polska 49 971 042 Portugal 13 182 946 România 24 258 046 Slovenija 1 499 216 Suomi/Finland 2 741 323 Total 305 109 562 ## (b) Quantity of each type of product to be withdrawn from Community intervention stocks for distribution in each Member State subject to the maximum amounts laid down in (a): tonnes Member State Sugar Belgique/België 4 154 България 6 385 Česká republika 67 España 6 500 France 3 718 Italia 7 000 Lietuva 2 889 Magyarország 1 620 Malta 397 Polska 15 552 Portugal 1 707 România 15 898 Slovenija 806 Total 66 693 ## Annex II Allocations to Member States for purchase on the Community market, subject to the maximum amounts laid down in Annex I(a): (in EUR) Member State Cereals Rice Skimmed milk powder Belgique/België 2 120 960 800 000 3 300 000 България 2 086 200 1 789 818 Česká republika 36 472 81 843 Eesti 182 358 Éire/Ireland 147 834 Elláda 4 535 189 8 003 986 España 11 144 100 1 800 000 32 030 700 France 8 718 857 5 225 181 32 770 000 Italia 13 514 624 3 000 000 46 438 083 Latvija 145 886 Lietuva 1 633 305 734 782 706 455 Luxembourg 76 864 Magyarország 5 713 309 1 328 373 Malta 62 275 25 078 99 189 Polska 16 569 956 24 058 983 Portugal 1 267 856 1 493 221 8 995 335 România 16 106 356 Slovenija 181 553 107 523 782 637 Suomi/Finland 1 724 960 873 450 Total 85 744 216 14 975 604 159 693 732 ## Annex III Intra-Community transfers authorised under the plan for the 2008 budget Quantity (tonnes) Holder Recipient 1. 3 718 BIRB, Belgique ONIGC, France 2. 2 889 BIRB, Belgique The Lithuanian Agricultural and Food Products Market Regulation Agency, Lietuva 3. 6 385 MVH, Magyarország ДФЗ, България 4. 15 552 MVH, Magyarország ARR, Polska 5. 15 898 MVH, Magyarország APIA, România 6. 806 MVH, Magyarország AAMRD, Slovenija 7. 397 AGEA, Italia National Research and Development Centre, Malta 8. 1 707 FEGA, España INGA, Portugal --- Source: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eur/2007/1146 (the official version) Page: https://openlegislation.uk/eu-regulation-2007-1146 Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
