COUNCIL REGULATION  (EEC) N° 1186/90
of 7 May 1990
extending the scope of the Community scale for the classification of  carcases of adult bovine animals
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article  43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 (4) determines a Community scale for the classification of  carcases of adult bovine animals; whereas Article 6 of that Regulation limits the application of  the scale to the establishment of market prices and the application of intervention measures;
Whereas progress made in the application of the scale and experience gained enable its extension to  all carcases placed on the market to be contemplated; whereas, to that end, provision should be  made for those products to be classified by approved slaughterhouses, which alone may market the  latter throughout the Community in accordance with Council Directive 64/433/EEC of 26 June 1964 on  health problems affecting intra-community trade in fresh meat (5), as last amended by Directive  88/657/EEC (6);
Whereas the natural or legal person who has the slaughtering carried out should be informed of the  result of the classification of the animals delivered for slaughter; whereas such a classification  on the one hand permits the price to
be justified and, on the other hand, is likely to lead to
an  improvement in quality and better upgrading of production,
