COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1400/87

of 21 May 1987

amending Regulation (EEC) No 828/87 specifying products in the beef and veal sector which are eligible for buying in

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 467/87 (2), and in particular Article 6a (6) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 828/87 (3) provided for the buying-in of hindquarters of certain categories, qualities and presentations specified on the basis of the Community scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine animals established under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 (4); whereas, in view of seasonal market trends, it is more appropriate to buy in forequarters; whereas the Annex to the said Regulation should therefore be replaced;

Whereas the joint presentation of the forequarter and hindquarter from the same half-carcase serves to facilitate controls carried out by the intervention agency as regards compliance with the rules governing quality and the classification of the meats presented; whereas, accordingly, provisions should be introduced enabling the intervention agencies to require that the two quarters be presented jointly;

Whereas, in order to prevent whole carcases from being offered to intervention in two stages once the buying-in of hindquarters has been replaced by the buying-in of forequarters, joint presentation of the said quarters during the first week of buying in of forequarters should be made compulsory;

Whereas the Management Committee for Beef and Veal has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EEC) No 828/87 is hereby amended as follows:

1. Article 1 (6) is replaced by the following:

'6. At the request of the intervention agency concerned, the operator shall, together with the forequarter offered for intervention, present to the intervention agency the hindquarter which belongs to the half-carcase in question. However, during the week from 25 to 31 May 1987, the operator must present the two quarters jointly.'

2. The Annex is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 25 May 1987.

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

Done at Brussels, 21 May 1987.
