COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 797/88

of 25 March 1988

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2226/78 as regards products from animals treated with substances having a hormonal action

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 3905/87 (2), and in particular Article 6 (5) thereof,

Whereas Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2226/78 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3988/87 (4), lists the requirements that must be met by products bought in by intervention agencies;

Whereas under Council Directive 88/146/EEC of 7 March 1988 prohibiting the use in livestock farming of certain substances having a hormonal action (5), and in particular Article 2 thereof, the administration of certain substances having a hormonal action to farm animals for purposes other than those specified in Article 4 of Council Directive 81/602/EEC of 31 July 1981 concerning the prohibition of certain substances having a hormonal action and of any substances having a thyrostatic action (6) is, from 1 January 1988, prohibited throughout the Community;

Whereas, therefore, provision should be made for meat from animals treated with the substances prohibited by the abovementioned Directive to be excluded from intervention from a date permitting the disposal of such meat within the time limits laid down for the placing on the market of all meat from animals treated with those substances; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2226/78 should therefore be amended to incorporate the new requirements for products bought in by intervention agencies;

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

The following point is added to Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2226/78:

'(e) they come from animals to which substances prohibited by Article 2 of Council Directive 88/146/EEC (*) have not been administered.
