of 18 May 1982

on the grant of a premium for the birth of calves in Greece, Ireland, Italy and Northern Ireland

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2),

Whereas the intervention price applicable in the beef and veal sector for the 1982/83 marketing year was fixed at a level below that resulting from the implementation of Article 6 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (3), as last amended by the 1979 Act of Accession; whereas Italy, which, during the seven preceding marketing years, has applied the system of a premium for the birth of calves referred to in Regulation (EEC) No 1120/81 (4) should therefore continue to grant this premium; whereas this system should be extended to Greece, Ireland and to Northern Ireland;

Whereas this premium constitutes intervention on the internal market within the meaning of Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policy (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3509/80 (6),
