COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2019/84

of 13 July 1984

amending Regulations (EEC) No 610/77 and (EEC) No 1557/82 as regards the determination of market prices in the beef and veal sector

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 markets in beef and veal (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular, Article 12 (7) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1202/82 of 18 May 1982 on the implementation of the Community scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine animals for recording market prices in the beef and veal sector (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 869/84 (3), and in particular Article 2 thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 610/77 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1777/84 (5), laid down detailed rules for determining the prices of adult bovine animals on representative Community markets on the basis of the prices for adult bovine animals recorded on the representative market or markets of each Member State; whereas, moreover, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1557/82 (6) laid down detailed rules for the Community recording of market prices on the basis of the Community scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine animals;

Whereas, under the terms of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1063/84 (7), the United Kingdom is authorized to grant, for the 1984/85 marketing year, producer premiums for the slaughter of certain adult bovine animals; whereas, in view of the fact that the actual payment of the premium may take place either at the slaughterhouse or when the animals in question are first placed on the market with a view to slaughter and in view of the relatively high level of such premiums conditioned by the market situation, a correction of the prices recorded in the United Kingdom as provided for in Regulations (EEC) No 610/77 and (EEC) No 1557/82 is needed in order to take account of the effect of the payment of the premium; whereas the aim of this correction is, on the one hand, to safeguard the possibility of comparing the prices recorded on the United Kingdom market with those recorded in the other Member States and, on the other hand, to ensure the satisfactory operation throughout the entire Community market of the system for activating and suspending intervention buying;

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 paragraph 4 is hereby added to Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 610/77:

The following point (d) is hereby added to Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1557/82:

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on 23 July 1984.

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

Done at Brussels, 13 July 1984.
