COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 568/76  of 15 March 1976  amending Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal
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 proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1855/74 (3), lays down intervention arrangements including the compulsory buying-in of beef and veal meeting certain quality requirements ; whereas, in the light of recent experience, it seems appropriate to provide for the possibility of suspending the intervention measures in regions where prices are relatively high, in order to avoid production for intervention purposes;
Whereas Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 provides for the possibility of granting of an export refund ; whereas experience has shown that the measures taken do not always give the trade the certainty as regards amounts and periods of validity of the refunds that it requires ; whereas provision should therefore be made to allow refunds to be fixed in advance,
