COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1379/80 of 5 June 1980 fixing the buying-in prices for beef applicable from 2 June 1980 and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 1352/79

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 Regulation (EEC) No 2916/79 (2), and in particular Article 6 (5) (c) thereof,

Whereas, in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 1302/73 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 427/77 (4), the qualities and cuts of products to be bought in by intervention agencies must be determined with a view, on the one hand, to the need to give effective support to the market and to ensure the necessary balance between the market in question and that in other livestock production and, on the other hand, to the Community's financial responsibilities in the matter ; whereas it is therefore desirable to limit buying-in to certain cuts of meat;

Whereas the upper and lower limits for buying-in prices must be fixed in such a way as to allow intervention agencies to take account of the differences of value in meat arising out of the age, weight, conformation and finish of the animals concerned;

Whereas it is desirable to fix the upper limits for buying-in prices at a level corresponding to the intervention price fixed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1358/80 (5) for the 1980/81 marketing year by applying the coefficients fixed in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2226/78 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2650/79 (7) ; whereas the new guide price enters into force on 2 June 1980 and this entails an alteration of the buying-in prices, thus making it necessary to replace Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1352/79 (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2650/79;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

With effect from 2 June 1980, intervention agencies shall buy in beef offered to them in accordance with the conditions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2226/78 at prices determined within the limits laid down for each product in the Annex to this Regulation having regard to the age, weight, conformation and finish of the animals from which the said products are obtained.

Article 2

Regulation (EEC) No 1352/79 is hereby repealed.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall apply as from 2 June 1980.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 5 June 1980.
