fatstock
THE COUNCIL OFTHE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard totheTreaty establishing theEuropean Economic Community ,
Having regard toCouncil Regulation (EEC )No805/68,of27June 1968 ,
onthe common organization ofthe market inbeef and veal ,aslast
amended byBegulation (EEC )No /7^»and inparticular Article 17
thereof ,
Having regard totheproposal from theCommission ,
Whereas the state oftheCommunity beef and veal market inrecent months ,
inwhich prices have been abnormally low ,below theintervention price
level ,has caused special measures tobeadopted ,inparticular with
respect toimports ,exports and intervention ;
Whereas these measures donotappear adequate toputmatters torights in
thenear future ,inasmuch as,inparticular ,thetime when theanimals are
brought infrom pasture isthe time when market prices are thelowest inthe
year ,byreason inter alia ofthe increase inthe supply ?
Whereas this being soitisclearly necessary totake preventive measures
calculated tohelp stabilize themarket ,andwhereas producers should
thus begiven anincentive tokeep their young slaughter cattle alive in
thecoming months foranadditional stock farming period ;

Whereas apremium largely covering the expense involved inmaintaining
theanimals islikely toencourage producers toaccept theobligation to
keep them alive pending asteadying ofprices ,andwhereas itisadvisable
toprovide for the fixing ofdifferentiated amounts ofpremium inorder
toallow for thehigher costs borne inthe winter months ;
Whereas itisnecessary nevertheless toensure that the intended measure
does not cause slaughter tobedeferred for toolarge anumber ofanimals ,
such ascould unbalance the supply position inthe first half of1975 *
