COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2769/90
of 27 September 1990
on interim measures applicable in the beef and veal sector after the unification of Germany
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2684/90 of 17 September 1990 on interim measures applicable after the unification of Germany in anticipation of the adoption of transitional measures by the Council either in cooperation with, or after consultation of, the European Parliament (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas as far as management of the Community market in beef and veal is concerned it will, owing to the lack of an adequate adjustment period and of any established practice, be impossible to take into consideration on a provisional basis from the date of German unification prices of adult bovine animals determined on representative markets in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic or prices recorded in that territory on the basis of the scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine animals; whereas for the same reasons recorded prices and animal production statistics for that territory cannot be taken into consideration for activation of intervention purchasing under Article 6 (5) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 (2);
Whereas to ensure that the Community market remains stable the implementation of agreements concluded with third countries by the former German Democratic Republic before unification should be secured; whereas to that end Germany should be authorized to make up from national funds the balance of the export refunds concerned;
Whereas it is necessary to prohibit producers from receiving the special premium for beef producers or the premium for the maintenance of suckler herds twice; i. e. both under national legislation introduced before 3 October 1990 in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic and under Community rules applicable from that date;
Whereas provision should be made that the premium for the maintenance of suckler herds is not to be granted on cows kept on holdings in the territory of the former German Democratic Republic that do not belong to meat breeds;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are to apply subject to any changes, resulting from the decisions taken by the Council on the proposals submitted to it by the Commission on 21 August 1990;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
