Whereas the first subparagraph of Article 6(1 ) of
Commission Regulation (EEC) No 21 63/74 (4) of 14
August 1974 laying down detailed rules for the appli­                 1 . The text of the second subparagraph of Article
cation of the system of premiums for the orderly                     6(1 ) of Regulation (EEC) No 2163/74 is replaced by
marketing of certain adult bovine animals for                        the following :
slaughter provides that beef and veal from slaughtered
animals may be bought in by intervention agencies                          'Such proof shall be established :
only if proof is furnished that such meat comes from                       (a) either by the marking at the time of slaughter
an animal in respect of which no premium has been                               of meat from animals in respect of which a
granted and that such proof must be established by                              premium has been granted , or
the placing of a mark on meat from animals in
respect of which a premium has been granted ;                              (b) by production of a certificate declaring that the
                                                                                meat comes from animals in respect of which
                                                                                no premium has been granted .'
Whereas the implementation of such a marking
system has caused some financial and technical diffi­                2 . The following paragraph is added to Article 6 of
culties in certain Member States ; whereas it is there­
                                                                     Regulation (EEC) No 2163/74 :
fore necessary to introduce an alternative system
whereby the proof required under the first subpara­                         '3.     Beef and veal from animals slaughtered in a

Whereas such a system cannot ensure that meat from                          in by intervention agencies in other Member

other Member States ; whereas it is therefore necessary

cies of meat from animals slaughtered in Member
