COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 828/87

of 23 March 1987

specifying products in the beef and veal sector which are eligible for buying in

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 1987 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 467/87 (2), and in particular Article 6a (4) thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to the provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1302/73 of 15 May 1973 laying down general rules for intervention on the market in beef and veal (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 427/77 (4), the qualities and presentations of products bought in must be determined while taking account, on the one hand, of the need to ensure effective support for the market and balance between the market in question and that of rival animal products and, on the other hand, of the Community's financial responsibilities in this field; whereas buying-in operations should therefore be restricted to certain categories, qualities and presentations specified on the basis of the Community scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine animals established under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 (5) and Member States should be allowed to restrict buying in to certain quality subclasses where the classification subdivisions concerned are applied pursuant to Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81;

Whereas it may be necessary to prolong the 1986/87 marketing year; whereas, in that case, for the categories of eligible carcases, the intervention price fixed, on the basis of the live weight, by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1345/86 of 6 May 1986 fixing the guide price and the intervention price for adult bovine animals for the 1986/87 marketing year (6), should be converted into carcase weight in relation to a reference quality; whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 653/87 (7) provides for application of the common prices in Spain from 6 April 1987; whereas the same price level should be specified for the categories of carcase eligible, since they have become increasingly comparable in terms of commercial value; whereas the price differentials between the reference quality and the other qualities should be specified;

Whereas the joint presentation of the forequarter and hindquarter from the same half-carcases serves to facilitate controls carried out by the intervention agency as regards compliance with the rules governing quality and the classification of the meats presented; whereas, accordingly, provisions should be introduced enabling the intervention agencies to require that the two quarters be presented jointly;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2650/86 (8) 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

1. With effect from 6 April 1987, the products listed in the Annex shall, subject to the conditions laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2226/78 (9), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 827/87 (10) be eligible for intervention in the Member States which meet the conditions specified in Article 6a (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68.

However, the intervention agencies may accept, in addition to the presentations laid down for the Member State concerned, one of the presentations specified in the Annex on condition that it is boned within the limits authorized by Article 10 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2226/78.

2. The following shall be eligible for buying in in accordance with Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81: meat of carcases of uncastrated young male animals of less than two years of age in the case of category A and meat of carcases of castrated male animals in the case of category C.

3. For the purposes of Article 6a of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 the 1986/87 intervention price shall, for the categories of quality R3 which are specified in paragraph 2, be 344 ECU per 100 kg carcase weight.

4. The intervention prices for the other qualities shall be obtained by applying the following differentials expressed in ECU per 100 kg, to the R3 intervention prices:

1.2.3 // // Category A // Category C // U2 // + 20 // + 20 // U3 // + 15 // + 15 // U4 // - // + 5 // R2 // + 5 // - // R4 // - // - 10 // O2 // - 15 // - // O3 // - 20 // - 20

5. Member States which subdivide the classes set out in Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 are hereby authorized to restrict buying-in to some of those sub-classes.

6. At the request of the intervention agency concerned, the operator shall, together with the hindquarter offered for intervention, present to the intervention agency the forequarter which belongs to the half-carcase in question.

Article 2

Regulation (EEC) No 2650/86 is hereby repealed.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on 6 April 1987.

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