(84/375/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 of 28 April 1981 determining the Community scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine animals (1), and in particular the fourth paragraph of Article 5 thereof,

Whereas Commission Decision 83/471/EEC (2) laid down detailed rules for the conduct of on-the-spot inspections by the Community Inspection Committee referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81;

Whereas, by Regulation (EEC) No 869/84 (3), the Council decided to apply, for a three-year experimental period, intervention measures on the basis of the Community classification scale established under Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81; whereas the scope of the inspections carried out by the Inspection Committee should be extended so as also to cover the classification, identification and marking of products which are the subject of intervention measures; whereas, in consequence, Decision 83/471/EEC should therefore be amended,
