193The applicants consider that in the present case the Commission ought to have tried to reconcile the various objectives (Case 5/73 Balkan-Import-Export [1973] ECR 1091, paragraph 24, and Joined Cases 197/80 to 200/80, 243/80, 245/80 and 247/80 Ludwigshafener Walzmühle and Others v Council and Commission [1981] ECR 3211, paragraph 41). Especially because of the exceptional crisis in the beef sector, the Commission ought to have given priority to the objectives of stabilising markets and ensuring a fair standard of living for the agricultural community. Therefore the Commission ought to have found that, to bring all the objectives listed by Article 33(1) EC into balance, it was justified to apply the derogation provided for by Regulation No 26.
