    Council Regulation (EC) No 1669/2000

    of 17 July 2000

    amending Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 on the common organisation of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat

    THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

    Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,

    Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(1),

    Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament(2),

    Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(3),

    Whereas:

    (1) Article 3(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2467/98(4) provides that the basic price for sheepmeat carcases should be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 3(2). It also provides that the basic price should be seasonally adjusted to take account of the normal seasonal variations on the Community market in sheepmeat. The applicable parameters result in the prices being fixed at the level laid down in this Regulation.

    (2) In accordance with the approach followed in the reform of common market organisations within the framework of Agenda 2000 and in order to enable producers to organise their production over several years, it is appropriate to fix the basic price without a time limit. However this shall not prejudge any revisions which may be justified in the future.

    (3) The measures necessary for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission(5),
