Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 as regards the
buying-in of beef (2), as amended by Regulation (EC) No
590/2001 (3), lays down buying standards. Pursuant to
the above Regulation, an invitation to tender was

lation (EC) No 840/2001 (5).

Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 562/2000 lays

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 590/2001 are to be accepted.

Once tenders submitted in respect of the 267th partial
invitation to tender have been considered pursuant to
Article 47(8) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999, and
taking account of
reasonable
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 for
category A and no award made for category C.
