laying downdetailed rules for the application ofRegulation (EEC)
No 1208/81 establishing the market prices of adult bovine animalson the basis of the Community scale for the classification of car-
cases
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June
1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal(1),
as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 of 28 April
1981 determining the Community scale for the classification of car-
cases of adult bovine animals(2), and in particular the last subpara-
graph of Article 2 (2), Article 3 (1) and the second subparagraph ofArticle 4 (3) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 provides for the gradual intro-
duction in the Community of a quotation system for carcases with aview to establishing the market prices for beef;
Whereas in order to obtain comparable prices in the Community it is
appropriate to refer, for recording market prices for carcases of adult
bovine animals, to a well-defined marketing stage and to determinethe corrective factors needed to adjust the presentations used in certainMember States to the Community reference presentation;
Whereas, in order to ensure uniform classification of the carcases of
adult bovine animals in the Community, it is necessary to define cer-tain rules for applying the classification system, in particular a criter-
ion for differentiating between categories of uncastrated male animals;
Whereas the Management Committee for Beef and Veal has not deliv-
ered an opinion within the period set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. The market price to be established on the basis of the Commu-
nity scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine animals,referred to in the third and fourth subparagraphs of Article 6 of Regu-
lation (EEC) No 1208/81 shall be the price paid to the supplier for
the animal upon delivery to the slaughterhouse, net of value-addedtax. The said price shall be expressed per 100 kg of carcase presentedaccording to the reference presentation provided for in Article 2 (2) ofthe same Regulation, weighed and classified on the hook at the
slaughterhouse.
2. The weight to be taken into account shall be:
— the weight of the carcase after chilling, or
— the hot weight of the carcase taken as soon as possible after
slaughter, less 2 %.
3. In the case where the presentation of the carcase, after weighing
and classifying on the hook, differs from the reference presentation,
the weight of the carcase shall be adjusted by application of the cor-
rective factors specified in the Annex. In this case the price for each100 kg of carcase shall be adjusted accordingly.

dorsal vertebrae must not show more than initial signs of ossification
in carcases of uncastrated young male animals of less than two years,and the cartilaginous extremities of the spinous processus of the fifthto the ninth dorsal vertebrae must not show substantial ossification.
