COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 563/82
of 10 March 1982
laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC)
No 1208/81 establishing the market prices of adult bovine animalson the basis of the Community scale for the classification of
carcases
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European EconomicCommunity,
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 carcasesof adult bovine animals (
2), and in particular the last subparagraph of
Article 2 (2), Article 3 (1) and the second subparagraph of Article 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 adultbovine animals, to a well-defined marketing stage and to determine thecorrective 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 certainrules for applying the classification system, in particular a criterion fordifferentiating 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 Community
scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine animals, referredto in the third and fourth subparagraphs of Article 6 of Regulation(EEC) No 1208/81, shall be the price delivered to the slaughterhouse,net of all taxes, paid to the supplier for the animal. This price shall beexpressed per 100 kg of carcase presented according to the referencepresentation provided for in Article 2 (2) of the 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, theweight of the carcase shall be adjusted by application of the correctivefactors specified in the Annex. In this case the price for each 100 kg ofcarcase shall be adjusted accordingly.
