COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1082/2001

of 1 June 2001

amending Regulation (EC) No 562/2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council
Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 as regards the buying-in of beef and correcting Regulation (EC) No
590/2001 derogating from and amending Regulation (EC) No 562/2000

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(6)

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

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17
May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef
and veal (1), and in particular Article 47(8) thereof,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 562/2000 (2), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 590/2001 (3),
lays
down detailed rules for the application of Council Regu-
lation (EC) No 1254/1999 as regards the buying-in of
beef.
In particular, Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No
562/2000 stipulates certain conditions on the takeover
and preliminary inspections.

By derogating from Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No
562/2000, Article 1(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 590/
2001, as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 826/
2001 (4), provides for the buying-in of five-rib forequar-
ters.
In order to clarify the situation with regard to
preliminary inspections in case of the takeover of quar-
ters, the rules have to be amended.

Article 1(2)(b) of the English version of Regulation (EC)
No 590/2001 contains an error. Moreover, the word
‘Article’ in the last subparagraph of Article 1(7) of Regu-
lation (EC) No 590/2001 should be replaced by the
word ‘paragraph’.

Regulation (EC) No 562/2000 and Regulation (EC) No
590/2001 should therefore be amended and corrected
respectively.

The second subparagraph of Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC)
No 562/2000 is replaced by the following text:

‘Such inspections shall cover consignments of up to 20
tonnes of half carcasses as laid down by the intervention
agency. However, where the offer involves quarters, the
intervention agency may allow a consignment of more than
20 tonnes of half carcasses. Where more than 20 % of the
total number of half carcasses
in any consignment
the whole consignment shall be
inspected is rejected,
rejected in accordance with paragraph 6.’

Article 2

Regulation (EC) No 590/2001 is corrected as follows:

1. (Concerns only the English version).

Article 1(2)(b) shall read as follows:

‘(b) The following may be bought into intervention: five-rib
forequarters obtained using a straight cut
from the
carcasses or half carcasses referred to in Article 4(2) of
Regulation (EC) No 562/2000; the price of forequarters
shall be calculated by applying the coefficient 0,80 to
the carcass price.’

2. The first phrase of the last subparagraph of Article 1(7) shall

read as follows:

‘Moreover, with respect to products purchased under this
paragraph:’

(5)

In view of the development of events this Regulation
must enter into force immediately.

Article 3

(1) OJ L 160, 26.6.1999, p. 21.
(2) OJ L 68, 16.3.2000, p. 22.
(3) OJ L 86, 27.3.2001, p. 30.
(4) OJ L 120, 28.4.2001, p. 7.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publica-
tion in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
