of 11 March 1986
laying down performance monitoring methods and methods for assessing cattle's genetic value for pure bred breeding animals of the bovine species
(86/130/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 77/504/EEC of 25 July 1977 on pure bred breeding animals of the bovine species (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular the first indent of Article 6 (1) thereof,
Whereas under the first indent of Article 6 (1) of Directive 77/504/EEC it is for the Commission to determine, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 8 of the abovementioned Directive, the performance monitoring methods and methods for assessing cattle's genetic value;
Whereas the methods for performance monitoring and assessing cattle's genetic value already being applied in the Member States are broadly similar;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to align the modalities of these methods more closely so that the results are comparable;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Zootechnics,
