Agricultural prices 1998/1999: beef and veal, common organisation of the market COM (amend. Regul. 805/68/EEC)

In adopting the report by Mr Edouard des PLACES (I-EDN, F) the European Parliament tabled only a few amendments to the Commission's proposals for the prices of agricultural products (1998-1999). The European Parliament called for an adjustment coefficient in order to compensate for the possible disappearance of the green rate on 1 January 1999 for the Member States participating in the single currency. Concerning beef and veal it calls for the maximum number of male bovine animals eligible for the special premium to be maintained in Spain and Portugal, while the Commission proposes an increase. It also calls for the exemptions for the new German Länder concerning special premiums for male bovine animals to be maintained.�
