COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)No 1186/90
of 7 May 1990
extending the scope of the Community scale for the classification of
carcases of adult bovine animals
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Havingreg ard to the Treaty establishingthe European EconomicCommunity, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Havingreg ard to the proposal from the Commission(
1),
Havingreg ard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
Havingreg ard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(3),
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 (4) determines a Community
scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine animals; whereasArticle 6 of that Regulation limits the application of the scale to theestablishment of market prices and the application of intervention meas-ures;
Whereas progress made in the application of the scale and experience
gained enable its extension to all carcases placed on the market to becontemplated; whereas, to that end, provision should be made for thoseproducts to be classified by approved slaughterhouses, which alone maymarket the latter throughout the Community in accordance with CouncilDirective 64/433/EEC of 26 June 1964 on health problems affectingintra-community trade in fresh meat(
5), as last amended by Directive
88/657/EEC (6);
Whereas the natural or legal person who has the slaughtering carried out
should be informed of the result of the classification of the animalsdelivered for slaughter; whereas such a classification on the one handpermits the price to be justified and, on the other hand, is likely to leadto an improvement in quality and better upgrading of production,
