COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 3537/89
of 27 November 1989
on the marketing stage to which the average price for pig carcases refers
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1249/89 (2), and in particular Article 4 (6) thereof,
Whereas the representative markets comprise, for each country, all the markets listed in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2123/89 (3);
Whereas, pursuant to Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75, the weighted average price for pig carcases on the representative markets of the Community must be determined in order to assess whether the market situation warrants intervention measures;
Whereas, in order to determine such an average price for pig carcases, comparable Community prices must be available; whereas, to that end, a single quality of pig carcases corresponding to the standard quality referred to in Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 and a clearly defined marketing stage should be used; whereas, since pig carcases are generally marketed at the slaughterhouse stage, that stage should be the one adopted;
Whereas quotations for pig carcases are to be determined henceforth throughout the Community using the Community scale for grading pig carcases as laid down by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3530/86 (5), and the detailed rules for application as laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2967/85 (6); whereas the definition of the standard quality in accordance with Article 2 (2) and (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3220/84 was simplified by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1250/89 of 3 May 1989 fixing the basic price and the standard quality for slaughtered pigs for the period 1 July 1989 to 30 June 1990 (7); whereas, in addition, the list of representative markets for pigmeat in the Community, as laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 43/81 (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3553/88 (9), was replaced by that in Regulation (EEC) No 2123/89; whereas, for those reasons, the rules on the marketing stage to which the average price for pig carcases refers should be amended;
Whereas for the sake of clarity a new regulation combining all the rules on the marketing stage to which the average price for pig carcases refers should be adopted; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2342/86 (10), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2847/87 (11), should accordingly be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
