COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2705/98

of 14 December 1998

on the determination of prices of adult bovine animals on representative
Community markets and the survey of prices of certain other cattle in the
Community

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of
27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market
in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC)
No 1633/98 (2), and in particular Article 25 thereof,

Whereas, to help in determining the movement of prices
on the market, the price on the representative markets of
the Community must be derived from the prices recorded
on the representative market or markets of each Member
State for the various categories of bovine animals, taking
into account the relative quantity of each of these cat-
egories and the relative size of the cattle population of
each Member State;

Whereas the price recorded on the representative markets
of the Community may be taken as the average of the
prices of the bovine animals in question on the represent-
ative market or markets of each Member State; whereas
this average should be weighted in accordance with the
coefficients expressing the relative size of the cattle popu-
lation of each Member State for each category marketed
in a reference period;

Whereas the representative market or markets for each
Member State should be selected on the basis of experi-
ence in recent years; whereas, moreover, where there is
more than one representative market in a Member State
the arithmetic average of the quotations recorded on these
markets should be taken; whereas, in view of the experi-
ence gained, the markets of Luxembourg, Austria, Sweden
and Finland should be excluded from the determination
of prices in the Community because of the low represen-
tativity of the prices for live bovine animals in those
Member States;

Whereas the price recorded on the market is based on the
quotations, excluding tax,
in
certain Member States, the quotations are based on the
quotations for meat; whereas a coefficient must therefore
be fixed to convert these quotations;

for live cattle; whereas,

Whereas, when the prices are recorded on the represent-
ative markets of the United Kingdom, allowance must be
made for the relative importance of cattle farming as
between Great Britain and Northern Ireland; whereas, to
this end,
the average price of adult bovine animals
recorded on the markets of Great Britain and the average
price of adult bovine animals recorded on the markets of
Northern Ireland should be corrected by a coefficient
reflecting the scale of production in these two regions of
the United Kingdom;

Whereas to have a complete picture of the market situ-
ation at all times, it is necessary to know the prices of
certain categories of cattle with a live weight of 300
kilograms or less;

Whereas Member States may, because of veterinary or
health protection regulations, find it necessary to take
measures which affect quotations; whereas,
in such
circumstances, it is not always suitable when recording
market prices to take into account quotations which do
not reflect
the market; whereas,
trend of
consequently, certain criteria
should be laid down
allowing the Commission to take account of that situ-
ation;

the normal

Whereas, to monitor better the Community market for
categories of bovine animals other than adult bovines,
provision should be made for a survey of prices for these
categories; whereas for the Member States representative
of these different types of bovine animals, Annexes III to
V detailing the information to be provided for the price
survey for each of these bovine animal categories should
be established;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 610/77 of 18
March 1977 on the determination of prices of adult
bovine animals on representative Community markets
and the survey of prices of certain other cattle in the
Community (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
3270/94 (4), should be repealed;

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 3

Article 1

1.
The price of adult bovine animals on the represent-
ative Community markets shall be the average of the
prices of adult bovine animals, weighted by the coeffi-
cients laid down in Annex I, recorded on the represent-
ative wholesale market or markets of each producer
Member State.

2.
The list of representative markets for bovine animals
by Member State is laid down in Annexes II to V to this
Regulation, based on the categories of bovine animals
mentioned in these Annexes.

3. Member States shall inform the Commission of the
representative markets for each category of bovine animal.
This information may be revised in the light of how the
marketing of bovine animals develops in each Member
State.

The weighting coefficients referred to in paragraph 1 may
be revised if changes are noted in the size of the cattle
population in each Member State relative to cattle
numbers in the Community.

1. Member States shall
inform the Commission not
later than midday (Brussels time) on Thursday each week
the quotations for the categories of adult bovine
of
animals recorded on their representative markets.

2. Where information is not available, the quotations
recorded on the representative Community markets shall
be determined with particular reference to the latest
quotations known.

Article 4

Where one or more Member States take measures for
veterinary or health protection reasons which affect the
recorded on their
in quotations
normal movement
markets,
the Commission may authorise the Member
State:

— either to disregard the quotations recorded on the

market or markets in question,

— or to use the last quotations recorded on the market or
markets in question before those measures were put
into effect.

Article 2

Article 5

The price of adult bovine animals on the represent-
1.
ative market or markets of each Member State shall be the
average, weighted by coefficients reflecting the relative
size of each category and quality, of the prices recorded
for the categories and qualities of adult bovine animals
and the meat thereof during a seven-day period preceding
the day of notification in that Member State at the same
wholesale stage.

In Member

States with several

the quotations recorded on each of

2.
representative
markets, the price of each category shall be the arithmetic
average of
these
markets. Where markets are held more than once during
the seven-day period referred to in paragraph 1, the price
of each category shall be the arithmetic average of the
quotations recorded each market day on the same market.
If,
in the course of any given week, the price is not
recorded on a particular market for a particular category,
the market price for that category in the Member State
shall be the arithmetical average of the other markets.

3.
In the United Kingdom, the weighted average price
of bovine animals on the representative markets of Great
Britain and of Northern Ireland shall be corrected by the
respective special coefficients fixed in Section K(3) of
Annex II.

4. Where quotations are not based on ‘live weight
excluding tax' prices, the quotations for the different cat-
egories and qualities shall be corrected by the live weight
conversion coefficients laid down in Sections D, E, F, I
and J of Annex II.

1.
The average Community price, per head, of male
calves between eight days and three weeks old shall be the
average of the prices of the bovine animals referred to
above, weighted by the coefficients laid down in Annex
III A, recorded on the main markets of the Member States
representative of this type of production.

2.
The prices of the bovine animals referred to in para-
graph 1 recorded on the representative market or markets
of each Member State concerned shall be the average,
weighted by coefficients reflecting the relative proportion
of each breed or quality, of the prices recorded exclusive
of VAT for these animals during a seven-day period in
that Member State at the same wholesale stage.

3. Annex III lays down:

(a)

the weighting coefficients referred to in paragraph 1
and used to calculate the average Community price of
the bovine animals referred to in that paragraph; these
coefficients are established using the number of dairy
cows recorded in the Community;

(b) the breeds and qualities of the animals;

(c) the weighting coefficients referred to in paragraph 2.

The Member States concerned shall

4.
inform the
Commission not later than midday on Thursday each
week of the quotations for the bovine animals referred to
in paragraph 1 recorded on their representative markets
during the seven-day period preceding the day on which
the information is given.
