THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007(1), and in particular points (a), (b), (c) and (o) of Article 20 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EU) No 1272/2009(2) laid down detailed rules to implement the mechanism of public intervention in respect of certain agricultural products as provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007(3). Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 has been repealed and replaced by Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 as from 1 January 2014.
(2) Chapter I of Title I of Part II of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 introduces a number of changes to the system of public intervention applicable from 1 January 2014.
(3) In the cereals and rice sectors, the concept of intervention centres has been abolished and sorghum is deleted from the list of products eligible for public intervention.
(4) In the milk and milk products sector, the buying-in of butter and skimmed milk powder will take place by means of a tendering system that is opened by the Commission once the fixed price quantities are reached.
(5) In the beef sector, the determination of the maximum buying-in price will be based on the average market price in a Member State or region of a Member State. In addition, the former category A of male carcasses has been split into new category A and new category Z for carcasses of bovine animals and introduced in the classification set out in Annex IV to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013; male animals in this category Z will be eligible for public intervention.
(6) It is therefore appropriate to implement those changes by amending Commission Regulation (EU) No 1272/2009 accordingly.
(7) Since the concept of intervention centres is abolished, Commission Regulations (EU) No 1125/2010(4) and (EU) No 162/2011(5) have become obsolete. For the sake of legal certainty, those Regulations should be repealed.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets,
