Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1357/80 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1417/81 (4), provides for the granting of a premium for maintaining suckler cows; whereas it is necessary to fix the amount of that premium for the 1982/83 marketing year at a level permitting producers in quality beef to be able to maintain their incomes at a satisfactory level;
