COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1749/2006

of 27 November 2006

amending Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), and in particular Article 33(12) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (2) sets out the conditions for the operation of the system of import and export licences in the beef and veal sector. |

(1)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (2) sets out the conditions for the operation of the system of import and export licences in the beef and veal sector.

| (2) | Since the start of 2005, the level of export refunds in the beef and veal sector has been reduced several times. The level of the security for export licences with advance fixing of the refund has not, however, been adapted to this new situation. The levels of that security should be adapted to take account of these reductions, maintaining a ratio between the level of the security and the level of the refund similar to that which applied prior to the reduction of the refunds. |

The level of the security for export licences with advance fixing of the refund has not, however, been adapted to this new situation. The levels of that security should be adapted to take account of these reductions, maintaining a ratio between the level of the security and the level of the refund similar to that which applied prior to the reduction of the refunds.

| (3) | Exports in the beef and veal sector have been declining steadily since 2000. In the interests of simplification and efficient management, in the current context it would also appear appropriate to review the rules for issuing those export licences which do not have to be issued immediately. In this context, the communication by the Member States to the Commission of applications for export licences should be limited to one notification per week. Similarly, the quantities for which export licences may, at the request of the operator, be issued immediately should be increased from 22 to 25 tonnes. |

| (4) | Commission Regulation (EC) No 1741/2006 (3) lays down the conditions for granting the special export refund on boned meat of adult male bovine animals placed under the customs warehousing procedure prior to export. To allow the smooth operation of that system, it should be laid down that licences which are to be issued immediately, with a validity restricted to five working days, do not allow access to the customs warehousing procedure prior to export provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1741/2006. |

| (5) | For the same reasons, it should also be laid down that the reduction of the refund provided for in Article 18(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products (4) where the destination of the beef and veal has changed from that initially indicated on the export certificate does not apply to the beef and veal placed under that system. |
