The price of adult bovine animals on the representative Community markets referred to in Article 12 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 shall be the average of the prices of adult bovine animals, weighted by the coefficients laid down in Annex I, recorded on the representative market or markets of each Member State. 1. The price of adult bovine animals on the representative market or markets of each Member State shall be the average, weighted by coefficients reflecting the relative magnitude of each category and quality, of the prices recorded for the categories and qualities of adult bovine animals and the meat thereof during a seven-day period in that Member State at the same wholesale stage.2. Until 31 December 1977 the price of adult bovine animals recorded pursuant to paragraph 1 on the market or markets of Ireland and the United Kingdom shall be increased by the compensatory amount referred to in Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 430/77.3. There are laid down in Annex II:    (a) the representative markets of each Member State;(b) the categories and qualities of adult bovine animals and of the meat thereof;(c) the weighting coefficients referred to in paragraph 1. 1. In Member States with several representative markets, the price of each category and quality shall be arithmetical average of the quotations recorded on each of these markets. Where markets are held more than once during the seven-day period referred to in Article 2 (1), the price of each category and quality shall be the arithmetical average of the quotations recorded during each market.2. In Italy, the price of each category and quality shall be the average, weighted by the special coefficients laid down in Section F (1) of Annex II, of the price recorded in the surplus and deficit production zones. The price recorded in the surplus production zone shall be the arithmetical average of the quotations recorded on each of the markets within that zone.3. In the United Kingdom, the weighted average price of adult bovine animals on the representative markets of Great Britain and of Northern Ireland shall be corrected by the respective special coefficient fixed in Section I (3) of Annex II. Where quotations are not based on 'live weight excluding tax' prices, the quotations for the different categories and qualities shall be corrected by the live  (1)OJ No L 36, 8.2.1973, p. 13. (2)OJ No L 153, 12.6.1976, p. 29.weight conversion coefficients laid down in Section D 2, F 2, G 2, H 2 and I 2 b) of Annex II and in the case of Italy shall be first increased or reduced by the corrective amounts laid down in Section F 3 thereof. 1. Member States shall inform the Commission not later than Thursday each week of the quotations for adult bovine animals recorded on their representative markets during the seven-day period preceding the day on which the information is given.2. Where information is not available, the quotations recorded on representative Community markets shall be determined with particular reference to the latest quotations known. Where one or more Member States take measures for veterinary or health protection reasons which affect the normal trend of quotations recorded on their markets, the Commission may:    - either disregard the quotations recorded on the market or markets in question;- or use the last quotations recorded on the market or markets in question before those measures were put into effect.Where such a situation continues for two consecutive weeks, a decision shall be taken on whether the criteria stated above should be amended or set aside. For such time as the price of adult bovine animals recorded on the representative Community markets, calculated in accordance with the foregoing Articles, differs by less than 0 720 unit of account per 100 kilograms live weight from the price previously used to calculate the levy, this latter price shall be maintained. 1. The prices for the cattle referred to in Annex III with a live weight of 300 kilograms or less recorded on the representative market or markets of each Member State shall be the average, weighted by coefficients reflecting the relative magnitude of each quality, of prices recorded for the qualities of the said cattle and the meat thereof during a seven-day period in that Member State at the same wholesale stage.2. There are laid down in Annex III:    (a) the representative markets of each Member State;(b) the categories and qualities of such cattle and of the meat thereof;(c) the weighting coefficients referred to in paragraph 1.3. Member States shall inform the Commission not later than Thursday each week of the quotations for the cattle referred to in paragraph 1 recorded on their representative markets during the seven-day period preceding the day on which the information is given.For Belgium, however, the period referred to in the preceding subparagraph shall include the day on which the information is given. Belgium shall inform the Commission on Thursday of the quotations recorded on its representative market held on that day. Regulation (EEC) No 320/73 is hereby repealed with effect from 31 March 1977. 0This Regulation shall enter into force the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.It shall apply for the first time for the calculation of the levies applicable with effect from 1 April 1977.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
