Moreover, it has been noted that the import prices provided by the Member States under this Regulation do not represent any additional added value, while they require a considerable effort and cost for the different administrations involved in the data collection and reporting. Therefore, the obligation for Member States to notify these prices should be abolished.\n(3)\nFor reasons of clarity and legal certainty it is therefore necessary to repeal the abovementioned Regulations.\n(4)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal and the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
