COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3250/81

of 12 November 1981

fixing the buying-in prices for hindquarters of beef applicable from 16 November 1981 and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 980/81

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 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 6 (5) (c) thereof,

Whereas, in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 1302/73 (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 427/77 (3), the qualities and cuts of products to be bought in by intervention agencies must be determined with a view, on the one hand, to the need to give effective support to the market and to ensure the necessary balance between the market in question and that in other livestock production and, on the other hand, to the Community's financial reponsibilities in the matter; whereas it is desirable to limit buying-in to hindquarters, in view of the present market situation;

Whereas it is therefore necessary to repeal Commission Regulation (EEC) No 980/81 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2591/81 (5), and to fix buying-in prices for hindquarters only;

Whereas the upper and lower limits for buying-in prices must be fixed in such a way as to allow intervention agencies to take account of the differences of value in meat arising out of the age, weight, conformation and finish of the animals concerned;

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:

Article1¶

1. With effect from 16 November 1981, intervention agencies shall buy in hindquarters offered to them in accordance with the conditions laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2226/78 at prices determined within the limits laid down for each product in the Annex to this Regulation having regard to the age, weight, conformation and finish of the animals from which the said products are obtained.

Article2¶

Carcases, half-carcases and compensated quarters bought before 16 November 1981 may be taken over by the intervention agencies up to 21 November 1981.

Article3¶

Regulation (EEC) No 980/81 is hereby repealed.

Article4¶

This Regulation shall enter into force on 16 November 1981.

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

Done at Brussels, 12 November 1981.
