amending Regulation (EEC) No 563/82 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 as regards the recording of market prices of adult bovine animals on the basis of the Community scale for the classification of carcases
THETHE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic 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 the Act of Accession of Greece,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 of 28 April 1981 establishing the Community scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine animals (2), and in particular the last subparagraph of Article 2 (2), Article 3 (1) and the second subparagraph of Article 4 (3) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 563/82 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1935/83 (4), laid down detailed rules as regard the recording of the market prices of adult bovine animals on the basis of the Community scale for the classification of carcases; whereas, in order to ensure the availability of comparable prices in the Community, the said Regulation introduced a number of corrective factors needed to adjust the presentations used in some Member States to the Community reference presentation;
Whereas experience has shown that, in order to ensure greater comparability of prices, it is enough to deduct the value tax from the price paid to the supplier for the animal on delivery to the slaughterhouse; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 563/82 should therefore be amended accordingly;
Whereas, for the same reasons, the list of corrective factors provided for in the third subparagraph of Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 should be adapted;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
