COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2247/2004
of 27 December 2004
repealing certain Regulations in the beef and veal sector and Regulation (EEC) No 3882/90 in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular Articles 28(2), 29(2), 33(12) and 41 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) 2529/2001 of 19 December 2001 on the common organisation of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (2), and in particular Articles 15 and 24 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulations (EEC) No 2182/77 (3), (EEC) No 2173/79 (4), (EEC) No 2326/79 (5), (EEC) No 2539/84 (6), (EEC) No 2824/85 (7), (EC) No 2271/95 (8), (EC) No 773/96 (9), (EC) No 793/97 (10), (EC) No 1495/97 (11), (EC) No 23/2001 (12), (EC) No 252/2002 (13) and (EC) No 496/2003 (14) are not relevant anymore for the proper functioning of the common organisation of the market for beef and veal.
(2) Regulation (EEC) No 3882/90 (15) concerning the monitoring of import lamb prices is obsolete because the Commission no longer fixes levies on the import of live sheep and fresh, chilled or frozen sheepmeat. Moreover, it has been noted that the import prices provided by the Member States under this Regulation do not represent any additional added value, while they require a considerable effort and cost for the different administrations involved in the data collection and reporting. Therefore, the obligation for Member States to notify these prices should be abolished.
(3) For reasons of clarity and legal certainty it is therefore necessary to repeal the abovementioned Regulations.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal and the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
