No C 62/74 Official Journal of the European Communities 5. 3. 84 
Proposal for a Council Regulation fixing for the 1984 and 1985 marketing years the 
basic and intervention prices for sheepmeat 
(84/C 62/46) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the Euro­
pean Economic Community, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 
1837/80 of 27 June 1980 on the common organ­
ization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat ('), 
as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No ..., 
and in particular Articles 3(1) and 7 (6) thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commis­
sion, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par­
liament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee, 
Whereas the change in the start of the marketing 
year, in accordance with Article 1 (2) of Regulation 
(EEC) No..., makes it advisable to fix prices 
simultaneously for the two marketing years begin­
ning on 2 April 1984 and 7 January 1985; 
Whereas, when the basic price for sheep carcases is 
fixed, account should be taken both of the objec­
tives of the common agricultural policy and of the 
contribution the Community wishes to make to the 
harmonious development of world trade; whereas 
the main objectives of the common agricultural 
policy are to ensure a fair standard of living for the 
agricultural community, to assure the availability of 
supplies and to ensure that supplies reach 
consumers at reasonable prices; 
Whereas the basic price must be fixed in accordance 
with the criteria laid down in Article 3 (2) of Regula­
tion (EEC) No 1837/80; whereas it should be fixed 
for each of the marketing years concerned at a level 
exceeding that fixed for the preceding year; whereas 
the intervention prices correspond to a percentage 
of the basic price; 
Whereas the marketing year beginning in 1984 runs 
for only 40 weeks because of the change referred to 
above; whereas, to ensure that the seasonal adjust­
ments to the basic price always reflect the usual sea-
(') OJ No L 183, 16. 7. 1980, p. 1. sonal changes in the Community market, the basic 
price fixed for the marketing year in question should 
be multiplied by a correcting factor in calculating 
any income losses to sheepmeat producers; 
Whereas, in accordance with the second subpara­
graph of Article 9 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 
1837/80, it is necessary to fix that percentage of the 
guide level, itself corresponding to 85 % of the basic 
price as referred to in Article 3 (1) of the said Regu­
lation, which is not to be exceeded at any time by 
the variable slaughter premium; whereas this ceiling 
should be fixed at a high enough level to ensure that 
it will only apply in practice during the relatively 
short part of the marketing year in which market 
prices attain a very low level, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
For the 1984 marketing year in the sheepmeat sec­
tor: 
1. The basic price is hereby fixed at 438,85 ECU 
per 100 kilograms carcase weight. 
2. The intervention price is hereby fixed at 373,02 
ECU per 100 kilograms carcase weight.

region 3 is hereby fixed at 352,92 ECU per 100 
kilograms carcase weight.

ECU per 100 kilograms carcase weight.

producers. 
Article 4

tage referred to in the second subparagraph of

The prices referred to in Articles 1 and 2 shall be 
seasonally adjusted in accordance with the tables set 
out in Annexes I and II.
