Beef and veal: common organisation of the markets COM, premium for early marketing and calf processing (amending regul. 805/68/EEC). 2nd report

OBJECTIVE: to amend Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal. SUBSTANCE: the proposed amendment is intended to enable the Commission to continue the differentiation according to weight of the early marketing premium for calves, if necessary. The proposal is accompanied by a second report from the Commission to the Council on the application of the early marketing and calf processing premium schemes in the beef sector. This second report aims in particular to answer the question whether the two calf premium schemes provided for by Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, i.e. the early marketing premium and the processing premium, have achieved satisfactory results and to indicate appropriate adjustments to the present arrangements. The report is based on information available at the end of July 1997. �
