COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1634/98

of 20 July 1998

fixing the basic price, and the seasonal adjustments to the basic price, for sheep-
meat for the 1999 marketing year

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89
of 25 September 1989 on the common organisation of the
market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), and in particular
Article 3(1) and (2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (2),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parlia-
ment (3),

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social
Committee (4),

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 1999 marketing year being fixed
at the level laid down in this Regulation;

Whereas the weekly seasonally adjusted amounts applic-
able to the basic price should be fixed in the light of
experience gained during the 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994,
1995, 1996 and 1997 marketing years concerning private
storage,

meat is hereby fixed at ECU 504,07 for 100 kg carcase

sonally adjusted in accordance with the table set out in
