COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1742/91 of 13 June 1991 fixing the basic price, the guide level and the seasonal adjustments to the basic price and the guide level for sheepmeat for the 1992 marketing year

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1741/91 (2), and in particular Article 3 (1) and (2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4),

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5),

Whereas the basic price must be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89;

Whereas, when the basic price for sheep carcases is fixed, account should be taken of the objectives of the common agricultural policy; whereas the main objectives of the common agricultural policy are, in particular, to guarantee a fair standard of living for the farming community and to ensure that supplies are available and that they reach consumers at reasonable prices; whereas these factors result in the price for the 1992 marketing year being fixed at the level laid down in this Regulation;

Whereas the weekly seasonally adjusted amounts applicable to the basic price should be fixed in the light of experience gained during the 1990 marketing year;

Whereas Article 24 of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 states that the United Kingdom may grant in Great Britain a premium for the slaughter of sheep provided that prices recorded on the representative markets of that region are below a 'guide level' corresponding to 85 % of the basic price; whereas the guide level is seasonally adjusted in the same way as the basic price; whereas the seasonal adjustments to the guide level should also be fixed for the 1992 marketing year,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

For the 1992 marketing year, the basic price for sheepmeat is hereby fixed at ECU 422,95 per 100 kilograms carcase weight.

Article 2

The basic price referred to in Article 1 and the guide level referred to in Article 24 of Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 are hereby seasonally adjusted in accordance with the table set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 3

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

It shall apply from the beginning of the 1992 marketing year.

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

Done at Luxembourg, 13 June 1991.
