COUNCIL REGULATION  (EEC) No 1345/86 of 6 May 1986 fixing the guide price and the intervention price for adult bovine  animals for the 1986/87 marketing year
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article  43 thereof, Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article  89 (1) thereof, 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 Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85  (2), and in particular Articles 3 (3) and 6 (4) thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the  Commission (3), Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4), Having regard to the  opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5), Whereas, when the guide price for adult bovine  animals is fixed, account should be taken both of the objectives of the common agricultural policy  and of the contribution which the Community wishes to make to the harmonious development of world  trade; whereas the common agricultural policy aims inter alia to ensure a fair standard of living  for the agricultural community, to guarantee the availability of supplies and to ensure that  supplies reach consumers at reasonable prices; Whereas the guide price must be fixed in accordance  with the criteria laid down in Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68; Whereas, in view of the  current economic situation on the beef and veal market, the intervention price for adult bovine  animals for the 1986/87 marketing year should be fixed at the same level in relation to the guide  price as that adopted for the preceding marketing year; Whereas under Article 68 of the Act of  Accession a price level differing from that of the common prices has been applied in Spain;  whereas, pursuant to Article 70 (1) of  the Act of Accession, Spanish prices are to be aligned with  common prices in stages occurring each year at the beginning of the marketing year; Whereas  Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 (6) laid down a Community scale for the classification of carcases of  adult bovine animals for recording market prices and applying intervention measures; whereas, by  Regulation (EEC) No 869/84 (7), a decision was taken to apply the said Community scale to the  intervention measures for a three-year period, on an experimental basis, whereas the gradual  application of the scale leads to the fixing of a single price for each quality or group of  qualities of meat, eligible for intervention, at the beginning of the 1986/87 marketing year;  whereas henceforth the existence of single prices will permit activation and suspension of  buying-in of meat of the qualities eligible for intervention on the basis of prices recorded on the  Community market for these qualities using the Community classification scale,
