Whereas, by Regulation (EEC) No 869/84 (3), the Council decided, by way of an experiment, to implement for a period of three years the Community scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine animals established under Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 (4) in connection with intervention measures; whereas the categories and qualities of products which may be bought in by the intervention agencies must therefore be defined on the basis of the said scale;
Whereas, in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 1302/73 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 427/77 (6), the qualities and cuts of the products to be bought in by the intervention agencies must be determined taking into account, on the one hand, the need to give effective support to the market and to maintain the balance between the market concerned and that in competing animal products and, on the other hand, the financial burden on the Community; whereas application of these criteria in the present situation on the beef market at the start of the period for the marketing of grass feed cattle indicates that category C should be included temporarily in the list of products which may be taken into intervention in the Federal Republic of Germany in order to cope with the substantial seasonal supplies of this category of animal;
