COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1266/95 of 29  May 1995 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3901/89 defining lambs fattened as heavy carcases
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3013/89 of 25 September 1989 on the common  organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat  (1), and in particular Article 4 (2)  thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3901/89  (2) establishes the definition of lambs fattened as heavy  carcases which are produced by ewes producing milk; whereas that Regulation, which lays down the  conditions under which the said definition applies, also lays down limited derogations with regard  to weaning for lambs belonging to a limited number of meat breeds and raised in geographically  well-defined areas; whereas experience obtained has shown that the fact that those lambs are  subject to the other conditions laid down in that Regulation has resulted in the introduction of a  control procedure out of proportion to the objective, that is to guarantee that the lambs achieve a  sufficiently high weight at slaughter; whereas, therefore, provision should be made for the  derogations, currently restricted to the weaning of the lambs, to be extended to other conditions  to be determined,
