ADDITION , THE 11TH RECITAL IN THE PREAMBLE TO THE REGULATION REFERS TO THE FACT THAT THE EFFECT OF THE AMENDMENTS TO THE REGULATIONS ON BEEF AND VEAL IS TO AMEND THE DESCRIPTIONS OF CERTAIN GOODS .
16 IN THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES , THE ABSENCE OF A SPECIFIC STATEMENT OF THE REASONS FOR THE INCLUSION OF MEAT OF BOVINE ANIMALS OF NON-DOMESTIC SPECIES IN THE COMMON ORGANIZATION OF THE MARKET DOES NOT MAKE THE REGULATION INVALID FOR INFRINGEMENT OF ARTICLE 190 OF THE TREATY .
17 THE ANSWER TO THE SECOND QUESTION SHOULD THEREFORE BE THAT CONSIDERATION OF THE QUESTION HAS DISCLOSED NO FACTOR OF SUCH A KIND AS TO AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF REGULATION NO 425/77 .
