COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1163/85

of 3 May 1985

extending for the fourth time the 1984/85 marketing year for the sheepmeat and goatmeat sectors

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 of 27 June 1980 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 871/84 (2), and in particular Article 3 (3) and (4) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1069/85 (3) extended the 1984/85 marketing year for the sheepmeat and goatmeat sectors until 5 May 1985;

Whereas it has become necessary to reconsider all the matters bearing on the fixing of prices for the coming year, which will involve delay in the fixing of these prices; whereas it is accordingly necessary to extend the 1984/85 marketing year for sheepmeat and goatmeat until 12 May 1985 and to fix seasonally adjusted basic prices, intervention prices and derived intervention prices in respect of the corresponding period; whereas the said prices should be fixed at a level which is designed to avoid too large a gap when the changeover to the new marketing year occurs,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The 1984/85 marketing year for sheepmeat and goatmeat shall end on 12 May 1985 and the 1985/86 marketing year shall commence on 13 May 1985.

Article 2

The seasonally adjusted basic prices, intervention prices and derived intervention prices for the period from 6 to 12 May 1985 shall be those laid down in the Annex hereto.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on 6 May 1985.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Luxembourg, 3 May 1985.
