Consolidated text:
Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3149/92 of 29 October
1992 laying down detailed rules for the supply of food
from intervention stocks for the benefit of the most
deprived persons in the Community
Basic act:
Consolidated text:
Each year before the 30 September the Commission adopts an annual
plan for the distribution of products available in intervention stocks
between the Member States that want to participate in the programme. The
allocation is carried out in different steps, through an iterative
process.
When all the money has been allocated, each Member State has received a specific ceiling which must not be exceeded in their national implementation. These specific ceilings are approved in the annual plan Regulations.
Each Member State organises the implementation of the programme on its own territory. The implementation may involve one or several charitable organisations. The Member State shares the available products between the organisations in the way it thinks appropriate to meet the needs of the final beneficiaries – the most deprived members of society.
