COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1891/87 of 2 July 1987 fixing the guide price and the intervention price for adult bovine animals for the 1987/88 marketing year
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 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 (EEC) No 467/87 (2), and in particular Article 3 (3) thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3), Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4), Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5), Whereas, when the guide price for adult bovine animals is fixed, account should be taken both of the objectives of the common agricultural policy and of the contribution which the Community wishes to make to the harmonious development of world trade; whereas the common agricultural policy aims inter alia at ensuring a fair standard of living for the agricultural community, at guaranteeing the availability of supplies and at ensuring that supplies reach consumers at reasonable prices; Whereas the guide price must be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 653/87 (6) provides for the application of the common prices in Spain at the beginning of the 1987/88 marketing year; Whereas, by Regulation (EEC) No 869/84 (7), a decision was taken to implement the intervention measures on the basis of the Community scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine animals, established under Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 (8), for an experimental period of three years' duration; whereas, in light of the experience gained during this period and of the advantages associated with the use of the said scales it should continue to be applied to the intervention measures; Whereas it is therefore appropriate to fix henceforth the intervention price per 100 kilograms carcase weight for the categories of animal eligible for intervention by referring to a reference quality defined in accordance with the said scale; whereas, in addition, since these are increasingly comparable in terms of their trade value, a single intervention price should be fixed for the said categories of animal, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
