Beef and veal trade associations and consumer organisations are hereby informed that the Commission has
published a Regulation providing for special communication measures in the beef and veal sector in
OJ L 182 of 5.7.2001.

Under that Regulation, communication programmes covering a series of information measures concerning
beef and veal can be submitted to the competent bodies in the Member States by trade associations, in
conjunction, where appropriate, with consumer organisations. Such communication programmes are
intended to provide information on key aspects of Community and national provisions, in particular on
food safety. The deadline for submitting programmes is 15 August 2001.

Priority will be given to programmes covering more than one stage of production, including consumption.
