COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2668/80 of 17 October 1980 laying down detailed rules for applying the levies on sheepmeat and goatmeat
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 of 27 June 1980 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), and in particular Articles 12 (5), 13 (5) and 24 thereof,
Whereas under Articles 12 and 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 levies are to be determined for imports of sheepmeat and goatmeat products ; whereas those levies are calculated on the basis of the free-at-Community-frontier offer price established by reference to the most representative purchasing possibilities as regards quality and quantity ; whereas this price determines the amount of the levy ; whereas the method of calculating it should therefore be determined;
Whereas, when the free-at-Community-frontier offer price is calculated, in principle all free-at-Community- frontier offers from non-member countries are taken into consideration ; whereas, where it appears from information available to the Commission that certain offers do not correspond to actual purchasing possibilities or that they are not representative of the actual trend of prices or that they do not relate to representative quantities, such offers should be disregarded;
Whereas the levies should be fixed for each week in order to take account of the seasonal fluctuation of the basic price;
Whereas provision must be made for the regular communication by Member States of the data relating to the implementation of this Regulation;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
