Whereas outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease have been declared in certain areas of Denmark; whereas, consequently, certain traditional markets have been closed for veterinary reasons for meat from animals originating in such areas; whereas, such circumstances could lead to a situation of heavy over-supply and depressed prices in the areas concerned;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
