THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1892/87 of 2 July 1987 on the recording of market prices in the beef and veal sector (1), and in particular Article 2 thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3310/86 of 30 October 1986 on the Community recording of market prices on the basis of the scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine animals (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2368/91 (3), lays down the criteria and procedure for recording market prices in the beef and veal sector;

Whereas, in order that the recording of market prices should reflect accurately all transactions, transactions relating to animals raised and slaughtered by slaughterhouses for their own account should be included; whereas, to that end, the rules for recording such prices should be laid down;

Whereas it is necessary to provide the Commission annually with information indicating the list of slaughterhouses and other establishments participating in the price recording so that it can satisfy itself that the prices are in fact representative of the production in each Member State;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
