EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.In "thecourse of "theapplication oftherules adopted "bytheCouncil on
permanent intervention onthemarket inbeef andveal ,certain technical
difficulties have been noted ,inparticualr inGermany ,Denmark andIreland ,
duetothefact that thefreezing andstorage capacity oftheintervention
centres isinsufficient todeal with theamounts ofmeat offered forinter­
vention .
2.Itwasthus necessary toamend Commission Regulation (EEC)No1896/73to
authorize intervention agencies inMember States tolimit buying –into
quantities they canfreeze andBtore ,while ensuring that equality ofaccess
tointervention onthepart ofsellers isaffected aslittle aspossible by
suchlimitations ^.
3.Inaddition ,provision should bemade forthetaking over bytheEAGGP of
theadditional expenditure incurred intransporting products offered for
intervention tointervention centres more distant than those chosen bythe
seller ordesignated bytheintervention agency asbeing oneofthenearest
centres .
Similar provisions arealready inforce forother agricultural markets ,for
example milk andmilk products .
Financial effects ofthe proposed measures
These canbeestimated atabout 500000units ofaccount perannum .
Itshould bestressed that tomake this expenditure eligible under the
Guarantee Section oftheEAGGP ,aprovision will have tobeadded to
Article 3(l)ofCouncil Regulation (EEC)No2305/70of10November 1970
onthefinancing ofintervention expenses ontheinternal market inbeef
andveal (OJNoL249 »17November 1970 »P*l)*
