THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17

and veal (1), and in particular Article 17(8) thereof,

Commission Regulation (EC) No 562/2000 of 15 March
2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of
Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 as regards the
buying-in of beef (2), as amended by Regulation (EC) No
2734/2000 (3), lays down buying standards. Pursuant to
the above Regulation, an invitation to tender was
opened under Article 1(1) of Commission Regulation
(EEC) No 1627/89 of 9 June 1989 on the buying-in of
beef by invitation to tender (4), as last amended by Regu-
lation (EC) No 376/2001 (5), and Article 1 of Commis-
sion Regulation (EC) No 284/2001 of 9 February 2001
opening intervention in accordance with Article 47(5) of
Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 (6).

Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 562/2000 lays
down that a maximum buying-in price is to be fixed for
quality R3, where appropriate, under each partial invita-
tion to tender in the light of tenders received. In accord-
ance with Article 36 of that Regulation, only tenders
quoting prices not exceeding the maximum buying-in
price and not exceeding the average national or regional
market price, plus the amount referred to in Article 6(2)
of Regulation (EC) No 2734/2000 are to be accepted.

Once tenders submitted in respect of the 262nd partial
invitation to tender have been considered pursuant to
Article 47(8) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999, and
reasonable
taking account of
support of the market and the seasonal trend in slaugh-
terings and prices, the maximum buying-in price and the
quantities which may be bought in should be fixed.

As the quantities offered at present exceed the quantities
which may be bought in, a reducing coefficient should
therefore be applied in accordance with Article 13(3) of
Regulation (EC) No 562/2000.

Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 2734/2000 also opens
buying-in of carcases and half-carcases of store cattle
and lays down special rules in addition to those laid
down for the buying-in of other products. The differ-
ences in prices found within this framework make it
necessary to set different maximum buying-in prices in
Spain and in the other Member States.

In the light of developments, this Regulation should
enter into force immediately.
