of 15 May 1987

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Whereas the abovementioned Article 6a (2) lays down the conditions under which buying-in must be decided on; whereas the eligible products were determined by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 828/87 (3) and the detailed rules for intervention were laid down in Article 3 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2226/78 of 25 September 1978 laying down detailed rules for the application of intervention measures in the beef and veal sector (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 827/87 (5); whereas the abovementioned provisions make it possible to introduce intervention measures for the Member States or regions of certain Member States and in respect of certain qualities;

Whereas, however, the list of products in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 828/87 is likely to be amended in this period of the year.

Whereas the buying-in prices for the eligible qualities should also be fixed, pursuant to Article 6a (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 and to Regulation (EEC) No 827/87; whereas, moreover, the maximum and minimum limits within which the Member States may vary the buying-in prices should be laid down in respect of each of those qualities so as to take account of the class subdivisions adopted pursuant to Article 3 (3) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 of 28 April 1981 determining the Community scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine animals (6),
