COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1765/83

of 29 June 1983

fixing the buying-in prices for forequarters of beef applicable from 4 July 1983

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 6 (5) (c) thereof,

Whereas, in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 1302/73 (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 427/77 (3), the qualities and cuts of products to be bought in by intervention agencies must be determined with a view, on the one hand, to the need to give effective support to the market and to ensure the necessary balance between the market in question and that in other livestock production and, on the other hand, to the Community's financial responsibilities in the matter; whereas it is therefore desirable to limit buying in to certain cuts of meat;

Whereas the upper and lower limits for buying-in prices must be fixed in such a way as to allow intervention agencies to take account of the differences of value in meat arising out of the age, weight, conformation and finish of the animals concerned;

Whereas it is desirable to fix the upper limits for buying-in prices at a level corresponding to the intervention price fixed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1213/83 (4), for the 1983/84 marketing year by applying the coefficients fixed in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2226/78 (5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1258/83 (6);

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1259/83 (7) should be repealed;

Whereas the Management Committee for Beef and Veal has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

With effect from 4 July 1983 intervention agencies shall buy in forequarters of beef offered to them in accordance with the conditions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2226/78 at prices determined within the limits laid down for each product in the Annex to this Regulation having regard to the age, weight, conformation and finish of the animals from which the said products are obtained.

Only meat from male animals may be bought in for intervention storage in accordance with the provisions specified above.

Article 2

Regulation (EEC) No 1259/83 is hereby repealed.
