THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 192(2) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | The provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2273/2002 (2) do not reflect anymore the current situation of the price recording on the Union markets concerned. It is necessary to bring the rules on price recording in line with the needs of the beef sector. Regulation (EC) No 2273/2002 should therefore be repealed and replaced. |

(1)

The provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2273/2002 (2) do not reflect anymore the current situation of the price recording on the Union markets concerned. It is necessary to bring the rules on price recording in line with the needs of the beef sector. Regulation (EC) No 2273/2002 should therefore be repealed and replaced.

| (2) | In order to have a complete picture of the market situation at all times, it is necessary to know the prices of certain categories of bovine animals other than those covered by price reporting under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008 (3). |
| --- | --- |

(2)

In order to have a complete picture of the market situation at all times, it is necessary to know the prices of certain categories of bovine animals other than those covered by price reporting under Commission Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008 (3).

| (3) | In order to improve data accuracy, provision should be made for a survey of prices for male calves aged between eight days and four weeks, for store cattle aged more than six months and less than two years and calves slaughtered at the age of less than eight months. Therefore, detailed rules on the information to be provided for the price survey for each of those bovine animal categories should be established. |

(4)

The Member States with an important share in the production and trade of those different categories of bovine animals and the information to be provided by them for the price survey for each of those categories should be established.

| (5) | The price recorded on the representative Union markets should be taken as the average of the prices of the bovine animals in question on the representative market or markets of each Member State. That average should be weighted in accordance with coefficients expressing the relative size of the relevant cattle population of each Member State for each category marketed in a reference period. |

(6)

In order to obtain comparable prices of the categories of bovine animals concerned in the Union, it is necessary to provide that the price recording should refer to a well-defined marketing stage based on the quotations excluding value added tax.
