1.From 1 July 2002, the granting of aids for private storage may be decided, when the average Community market price recorded, on the basis of the Community scale for the classification of carcases of adult bovine animals provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 (called hereinafter ‘Community scale’), is, and is likely to remain, at less than 103 % of the basic price.

3.Private storage aid may be granted for fresh or chilled meat of adult bovine animals presented in the form of carcases, half-carcases, compensated quarters, forequarters or hindquarters, classified in accordance with the Community scale.
4.The Council, acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 37(2) of the Treaty, may:
change the basic price taking account, in particular, of the need to fix this price at a level which contributes towards stabilising market prices without, however, leading to the formation of structural surpluses in the Community,
amend the list of products in paragraph 3 which may be the subject of private storage aid.
5.Detailed rules for the application of this Article shall be adopted and the granting of aids for private storage shall be decided by the Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 43.
1.From 1 July 2002, public intervention shall be opened if, for a period of two consecutive weeks, the average market price in a Member State or in a region of a Member State recorded on the basis of the Community scale provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 1208/81 falls short of EUR 1 560/t; in this case, one or more categories, qualities or quality groups, to be determined, of fresh or chilled meat falling within CN codes 0201 10 00 and 0201 20 20 to 0201 20 50 originating in the Community may be bought in by intervention agencies.
2.For buying-in under paragraph 1, only eligible offers equal to or less than the average market price recorded in a Member State or a region of a Member State and increased by an amount to be determined on the basis of objective criteria may be accepted.
3.The buying-in prices and the quantities accepted for intervention shall be determined under tender procedures and may, in special circumstances, be fixed per Member State or per region of a Member State on the basis of recorded average market prices. The tender procedures shall ensure equality of access of all persons concerned. They shall be opened on the basis of specifications to be determined taking commercial structures into account, where necessary.
4.Under the procedure provided for in Article 43:
the products, categories, qualities or quality groups of products eligible for intervention shall be determined,
the buying-in prices and the quantities accepted for intervention shall be fixed,
the amount of the increase referred to in paragraph 2 shall be determined,
the detailed rules for the application of this Article shall be adopted,
any transitional provisions necessary for the implementation of these arrangements shall be adopted.
The Commission shall decide on:
opening buying-in when during two consecutive weeks the condition referred to in paragraph 1 is met,
closing buying-in when during at least one week the condition as referred to in paragraph 1 is no longer met.
1.Disposal of the products bought in by the intervention agencies in accordance with the provisions of Articles 27 and 47 of this Regulation and of Articles 5 and 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 shall take place in such a way as to avoid any disturbance of the market and to ensure equal access to goods and equal treatment of purchasers.
2.Detailed rules for the application of this Article, in particular as regards selling prices, conditions for release from storage and, where appropriate, the processing of products bought-in by the intervention agencies, shall be adopted by the Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 43.
