COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2877/2000

of 28 December 2000

amending Regulation (EEC) No 1481/86 on the determination of prices of fresh or chilled lamb
carcases on representative Community markets and the survey of prices of certain other qualities
of sheep carcases in the Community

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 of 3
November 1998 on the common organisation of the market in
sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No
1669/2000 (2), and in particular Article 4(5) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1481/86 (3), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 2733/1999 (4),
lays
down the rules for the determination of prices of fresh
or chilled lamb carcases on representative Community
markets and the survey of prices of cerain other qualities
of sheep carcases in the Community.

In Annex I to this Regulation, the coefficients used for
calculating the EU's average price of sheep carcases is
based on the weighting average of national average
prices on the representative markets of the Community
and should be adjusted in the light of the figures avail-
able with regard to sheep production. This is so because
Member States do change in many cases their share on
EU total production from year to year.

In Annex II to this Regulation, the weighting coefficients
used for the determination of prices recorded on the
representative markets in the Member States should be
adjusted in order to reflect the relative importance of the
regional markets and product categories in the calcula-
tion of the national average representative price. The

reason for that modification is that the importance of
regional markets and product categories
individual
within a Member State may change from year to year.

(4)

(5)

In Annex III to this Regulation, the names and defini-
tions of product categories should be updated in line
with the changing trends on the regional markets.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Sheep and Goats,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
