COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1751/96 of 9 September 1996 amending Regulation (EC) No 1318/96 derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 2456/93 as regards public intervention
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
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 (EC) No 1588/96 (2), and in particular Article 6 (7) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1318/96 of 8 July 1996 derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 2456/93 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 as regards public intervention (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1743/96 (4), fixes, on a degressive basis, the maximum weight of carcases which may be bought in under invitations to tender opened in July, August and September 1996; whereas, in order to cushion the impact of that measure for operators, the Regulation also authorizes intervention buying of heavier carcases during July and August, by way of derogation, while limiting the buying-in price to the maximum authorized weight; whereas bullocks reach their slaughter weight more slowly and therefore later in the year than uncastrated animals; whereas, in order to avoid giving unequal treatment to these two categories of animal, the derogation from the buying-in price should be extended for bullocks to invitations to tender opened in September;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
