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 Article 47(8) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 562/2000(2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 590/2001(3), lays down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 as regards the buying-in of beef. In particular, Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 562/2000 stipulates certain conditions on the takeover and preliminary inspections.
(2) By derogating from Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 562/2000, Article 1(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 590/2001, as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 826/2001(4), provides for the buying-in of five-rib forequarters. In order to clarify the situation with regard to preliminary inspections in case of the takeover of quarters, the rules have to be amended.
(3) Article 1(2)(b) of the English version of Regulation (EC) No 590/2001 contains an error. Moreover, the word "Article" in the last subparagraph of Article 1(7) of Regulation (EC) No 590/2001 should be replaced by the word "paragraph".
(4) Regulation (EC) No 562/2000 and Regulation (EC) No 590/2001 should therefore be amended and corrected respectively.
(5) In view of the development of events this Regulation must enter into force immediately.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
