COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2172/2003

of 12 December 2003

amending and correcting Regulation (EC) No 2273/2002 laying down detailed rules for the applica-
tion of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 as regards the survey of prices of certain bovine
animals on representative Community markets

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

2.

in Annex I, part H, point 2 is replaced by the following:

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 41 thereof,

Whereas:

(5)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2273/2002 (2)
lays
down provisions on the recording of prices on the repre-
sentative markets of the Member States for various cate-
gories of bovine animals. Detailed rules on the informa-
tion to be provided for the price survey for each of these
categories are provided in the Annexes to that Regu-
lation.

On the request of
the Member States concerned,
Annexes I, II and III to Regulation (EC) No 2273/2002
should be partly revised in the light of how marketing
and the size of the cattle population in the Member
States develop.

In the light of experience, it would moreover appear that
Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 2273/2002 contains an
error.

Regulation (EC) No 2273/2002 should therefore be
amended and corrected accordingly.

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
