COUNCIL REGULATION  (EEC) No 1347/86 of 6 May 1986 on the granting of a premium for the slaughter of certain adult  bovine animals in the United Kingdom
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 the proposal from the Commission, Having regard to the opinion of the  European Parliament (1), Whereas the United Kingdom applied the slaughtering premium system in  respect of certain adult bovine animals until 27 April 1986; Whereas the Commission forwarded to  the Council proposals aimed at reorganizing the common organization of the markets in beef and  veal; whereas the Council has agreed to reach a decision on these proposals by 31 December 1986;  whereas, therefore, the present system of premiums should be extended until the said date; Whereas,  in order to prevent the variable slaughter premium granted in the United Kingdom alone from having  the effect of an export subsidy and disturbing the markets and the conditions of competition in the  other Member States, provision must be made for the levying of an amount equal to that premium when  animals or meat or meat preparations from such animals on which it has been given are consigned to  other Member States or to non-member countries; Whereas such a premium constitutes intervention on  the internal market within the meaning of Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21  April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (2), as last amended by Regulation  (EEC) No 3509/80 (3); whereas, however, participation by the European Agricultural Guidance and  Guarantee Fund in the financing of this premium should be limited,
1.    The United Kingdom is authorized to grant, until 31  December 1986, a premium to producers for the slaughter of certain adult bovine animals, other than  cows, of Community origin. 2.    The amount of the premium, which may be seasonally varied, may not  exceed 65 ECU per adult bovine animal of an average weight to be determined. It shall be calculated  in such a way that, when a premium is granted, the sum of the market price recorded in the United  Kingdom for all adult bovine animals, other than cows, and the amount of the premium actually  granted does not exceed, on average and for the duration of application of this Regulation, 85  %  of the guide price. It may not at any point exceed 88  % of that price.
The intervention  purchase price for meat obtained from animals for which a premium has been granted shall be reduced  by the amount of the premium actually granted.
Where the premium referred to in Article  1 has been paid, an amount equivalent to the amount of that premium shall be levied on live animals  or on meat and meat preparations from such animals on which it has been paid, when they are  consigned to other Member States or to non-member countries.
By way of derogation from  Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 financing by the EAGGF Guarantee Section shall be  limited to 40  % of the premium amounts actually granted.
1.    Detailed rules for the  application of this Regulation shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in  Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3768/85 (5).  2.    The detailed rules referred to in paragraph 1 may include inter alia:(a)  a definition of the  categories and qualities of animals for which a premium may be granted;       (b)the conditions  under which premiums may be granted when adult bovine animals, other than cows, for slaughter are  first put on the market;(c)measures necessary to prevent, for live animals and meat and meat  preparations, disturbance of trade resulting from the application of this premium  arrangement;(d)rules on the calculation and the conditions for levying the amount referred to in  Article 3.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the  Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall apply from 28 April 1986.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
