Whereas:

(2) As soon as the presence of avian influenza was officially confirmed the Italian authorities reported that they had taken appropriate measures, including the measures listed in Article 3(2) of Decision 90/424/EEC.
(3) Pending completion of checks by the Commission that, on the one hand, Community veterinary rules have been observed and, on the other, that the conditions for a Community financial contribution are met, a first advance should be paid immediately.
(4) Further tranches may be granted at a later stage once the Commission has verified the information provided by Italy, subject to appropriations being available.
(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,
Italy may obtain financial assistance from the Community for eligible expenditure incurred under eradication measures relating to outbreaks of avian influenza which occurred from December 1999 to April 2000.
1. The Community financial contribution shall be paid to Italy in tranches, on the basis of the information sent by Italy and the results of the Commission checks referred to in Article 4.
2. However, Italy may obtain, on request, an advance of EUR 10 million as soon as this Decision has been adopted.
1. Without prejudice to Article 2, the Community financial contribution shall be paid on the basis of the supporting documents submitted by Italy.
2. The documents referred to in paragraph 1 shall include: an epidemiological report covering each holding on which poultry have been slaughtered and a financial report. These reports shall be provided in computerised form in accordance with the model and format requested by the Commission.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1118/89 of 27 April 1989 fixing the guide price and the intervention price for adult bovine animals for the 1989/90 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 Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of the Council of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 571/89 (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, in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, the Community scale for the classification of carcases of
adult bovine animals, established under Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 (6), is applicable for buying in; whereas it is therefore appropriate to fix 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 and it should be maintained at the level laid down for the previous marketing year,
For the 1989/90 marketing year, the guide price for adult bovine animals shall be ECU 205,02 per 100 kilograms liveweight.
For the 1989/90 marketing year, the intervention price shall be ECU 344 per 100 kilograms carcase weight for the carcases of male animals of Class R 3 of the Community scale for the classification of adult bovine animals laid down by  Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the beginning of the 1989/90 marketing year.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
