On 28 December 1972 , the Council adopted Regulation (EEC) No 2822/72
amending Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 as regards intervention measures
on the market in beef and veal .
The aim of this proposal is to lay down general    rules for intervention
on the market in beef and veal , bearing in mind the distinction that seaa H£vo
has to be drawn between the standing intervention system , applicable whenever
certain questions obtain , and the optional intervention system .
Adoption of these general rules should enable the Commission to fix the
buying>-in prices for interventions tinder the standing system from the
beginning of the 1973/74 market irg year – that is to say from 30 April 1973 .

     laying down general rules for intervention on the market in
                   "beef and veal
 THE COUNCIL OF THE European communities
 Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community]
 Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) WO 805/68^ of 27 June 1968
 on the common organization of the maricet in "beef and veal , as last
amended "by Retaliation (EEC) No 187/73^» and in particular Article 6^
 thereof ;
 Having re gard to the proposal from the Commission ;
Whereas the system of interventions on the market in "beef and veal was amended
"by Council Regulation (EEC) NO 2822/72^ of 28 December 1972 ? whereas it is
therefore necessary to modify the general rules for intervention on that
market laid down "by Council Regulation (EEC) NO 972/68^ of 15 July 1968 ;
Whereas general criteria should be defined "by taking into account , on the
one hand , the purposes of the intervention system , and , on the other , the
Community 's financial responsibilities in this matter ;
Whereas the intervention system enables intervention measures to be localised^
 since the conditions of prioe formation in the Community vary between and
 even within Member States ; whereas , therefore , regions should be determined
for a Member State where intervention measures are taken having regard in
                                      i
particular to natural conditions of price formation ;

 Whereas , as regards the products referred to in Article 6(l ) of Regulation
 (EEO ) No 805/68 , there should be provision to ensure .that the same coefficients
 apply whether iwfumia Oiun is made under paragraph 1 /or under paragraph 2 of
 that Article : Whereas these ooeffioients should express the foreseeable rat^.o ,
■gnder normal conditions of production, "between the price of the quality in
 question and the price of the adult bovine animals ;
Whereas , as regards other products , the coefficients provided for in Article
 6(2 ) (b ) of Regulation (EEC ) No 805/68 should express the normal ratio
between the price of the quality in question and the price of adult bovine
animals , as recorded on representative Community markets , in accordance with
Article 10 of that Regulation ;      whereas the prices of the products in question
 should therefore be recorded by reference to the periods        most representative
pgji'ioda of     normal market conditions ;
Whereas such adjustments should be made to the coefficients in the light
of experience as will promote the harmonization of buying^-in prices in the
Community ;
