   Re:
   Reference for a preliminary ruling — College van Beroep voor het bedrijfsleven — Interpretation of Article 3(f) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (OJ L 1999 L 160, p. 21) — Compatibility of national legislation which makes the award of a suckler-cow premium subject to conditions corresponding to a usual animal husbandry practice
   Operative part of the judgment
   Article 3(f) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal, as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1512/2001 of 23 July 2001, does not preclude national rules which make the right to a suckler cow premium subject to conditions consistent with usual animal husbandry practice that require, first, a certain frequency of calving and secondly, that the calf should have been suckled by its mother for a period of four months after its birth.
