Article 116Slaughter premium
1.A farmer keeping bovine animals on his holding may qualify, on application, for a slaughter premium. It shall be granted on the slaughter of eligible animals or their export to a third country and within national ceilings to be determined.
The following shall be eligible for the slaughter premium:
(a)bulls, steers, cows and heifers from the age of eight months;
(b)calves of more than one and less than eight months old and of a carcass weight up to 185 kg.
The animals listed in points (a) and (b) of the second subparagraph shall be eligible for the slaughter premium provided they have been held by the farmer for a period to be determined.
2.The amount of the premium shall be set at:
(a)EUR 80 per eligible animal as specified in paragraph 1(a);
(b)EUR 50 per eligible animal as specified in paragraph 1(b).
3.The national ceilings referred to in paragraph 1 shall be established per Member State and separately for both groups of animals as specified in (a) and (b) of that paragraph. Each ceiling shall be equal to the number of animals in each of these two groups which, in 1995, were slaughtered in the Member State concerned. The number of animals exported to third countries, according to Eurostat data or any other published official statistical information for that year accepted by the Commission, shall be added to each ceiling.
For the new Member States, the following national ceilings shall apply:
| Bulls, steers, cows and heifers | Calves more than 1 and less than 8 months old and of a carcass weight up to 185 kg | |
