COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1512/96 of 29 July 1996 amending Regulation (EC) No 716/96 adopting exceptional support measures for the beef market in the United Kingdom
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1357/96 (2), and in particular Article 23 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 716/96 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 835/96 (4), provided exceptional support measures for the beef market in the United Kingdom; in particular by enabling producers to be paid ECU 1 per kilogram liveweight for animals slaughtered under the scheme set out in the Regulation provided also for the possibility of paying deadweight; whereas experience has shown that the coefficient of 2 by which the deadweight is to be multiplied leads to distortion between the payments made in respect of cows and those in respect of other animals eligible under the scheme; whereas different coefficients should therefore be used;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
