THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 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 Regulation (EC) No 1997/96 (2), and in particular Articles 6b and 25 thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 1997/96 introduces special arrangements covering certain fresh and chilled meat of lean male bovine animals originating in the Community in accordance with the system of invitations to tender provided for in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2456/93 of 1 September 1993 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1931/96 (4); whereas those arrangements are to apply from the second invitation to tender in October to the last invitation to tender in December 1996; whereas, in view of the situation on the market, those special arrangements should be initiated and the requisite detailed rules of application should be adopted;
Whereas the special arrangements should not cover animals belonging to exclusively dairy breeds, the slaughter of which would be premature and would therefore not contribute to reducing production; whereas, in addition, in order to prevent the buying-in of animals almost ready for market, a limit should be placed, under these arrangements, on the weight of eligible carcases;
Whereas, in order to ensure that the special arrangements achieve their objectives, they should cover animals, at least 10 months old on the basis of the special characteristics of male bovine animals depending on whether they have been castrated or not; whereas, however, a corrective mechanism should be introduced to rule out the buying-in of carcases and half-carcases of animals covered by special premium applications, for otherwise this would be tantamount to granting support twice over; whereas, in this respect, provision should be made for the burden of proof of non-payment of that amount to fall on the successful tenderers;
Whereas the other detailed rules for the application of those special arrangements should be based on those of the special arrangements previously applicable to the buying-in of light carcases in accordance with former Article 6a of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68;
Whereas the Management Committee for Beef and Veal has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
