COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1361/2004

of 28 July 2004

amending Regulation (EC) No 1518/2003 laying down detailed rules for implementing the system of export licences in the pigmeat sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat (1), and in particular Articles 8(2) and 13(12) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | The economic conditions on the pigmeat export markets vary widely and, therefore, require further distinctions to be drawn in the conditions in which export refunds for products in this sector are granted. In order to attain more effectively the objectives of adjustment of the method for the allocation of the quantities which may be exported with a refund and efficient use of the resources available, as referred to in Article 13(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75, it would be advisable to extend the circumstances, provided for in Article 3(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/2003 (2), in which the Commission may take steps to restrict the issue of export licences or the lodging of applications for such licences during the reflection period for which provision is made following the lodging of applications. It would also be advisable to provide for these measures to be taken by destination. |
