Beef and veal: common organisation of the markets COM (amend. regul. 805/68/EEC)

OBJECTIVE: the object of the proposal for a Council Regulation is to control or restore balance on the market for beef and veal in the wake in particular of the BSE crisis, which has brought about a sharp fall in consumption, a fall in prices paid to producers, and very substantial buying-in. COMMUNITY MEASURE: Council Regulation (EC) No 1997/96 amending Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal. SUBSTANCE: the Regulation only deals with those elements of the Commission proposal which require an urgent decision, including an increase in the maximum quantity for intervention buying-in needed until mid-November 1996. The Council will decide in due course on the other elements of the proposal, including other increases in the maximum quantity. DATE OF ENTRY INTO FORCE: 14 October 1996. �
