(27 June 2001)

Subject: Premiums for beef and veal (Greece)

As part of its revision of the common organisation of the market in beef and veal, the Commission has
decided to apply the limit value of 90 ABU per holding and age category more stringently when allocating
the special premium, partly in order to reduce the production incentive and to stabilise the beef and veal
market. The number of animals eligible for payment of the premium is determined on the basis of the
stocking density of adult bovine units per hectare.

Can the Commission indicate:

(cid:129) whether, in future, it intends to introduce the limit value of 90 ABU for all direct payment schemes;

(cid:129) how many holdings in Greece currently exceed that limit;

(cid:129) how many holdings in Greece are currently below that limit;

(cid:129) what the implications (additional expenditure or savings) of this measure would be (cid:129) in absolute

figures and/or as a percentage (cid:129) for the total budget for the beef and veal sector;

(cid:129) whether it is considering the introduction of a ceiling of this nature for the payment of premiums in

the sheepmeat sector and in other comparable sectors?
