(Only the Spanish text is authentic)

(90/19/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), and in particular Article 4 (4) thereof,

Whereas Article 4 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 provides for the introduction of a mechanism for differentiating between producers of heavy lambs and producers of light lambs; whereas the introduction of such a mechanism is a prerequisite for the application during the 1990 marketing year of the arrangements provided for in Article 22 (8) of that Regulation;

Whereas on 28 November 1989 Spain forwarded to the Commission a draft mechanism for differentiating between producers of heavy lambs and producers of light lambs; whereas the components of the mechanism provided for by Spain are likely to ensure suitable application of the provisions laid down in Articles 4 (3) and 5 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 pending the application of the Community measures to be adopted on the subject,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The mechanism for differentiating between producers of heavy lambs and producers of light lambs forwarded by Spain on 28 November 1989 is hereby approved.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to Spain.

Done at Brussels, 20 December 1989.
