COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 424/95 of 20 February 1995 amending Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal as regards the deseasonalization premium
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 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),
Whereas Article 4c of Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (3), provides for the granting of a deseasonalization premium to encourage the putting up for slaughter of castrated male  bovine animals outside the annual 'off-grass' period;
Whereas the sudden cessation of payment of that premium at the end of April can cause serious disturbances on the markets of the Member States concerned; whereas payment of the premium should consequently be staggered to avoid the said adverse effects;  whereas, therefore, the period of application should be extended and the level of the premium reduced step by step,
