Whereas the evolution of combined transport shows that for the Community as a whole the starting-up phase of this technique is not yet over and whereas the aid system consequently has to be maintained for another period which should be sufficiently long to enable the Member States with a less-developed infrastructure for combined transport to catch up with the more advanced regions;
Whereas, in order to facilitate intra-Community transit traffic through the territory of third countries, these aids should be extended to the operating costs of such traffic;
Whereas the present aid arrangements should be maintained until 31 December 1992 and the Council should decide, under the conditions laid down in the Treaty, on the arrangements to be applied subsequently or, if necessary, on the conditions for terminating such aid,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Subparagraph (e) of Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1107/70 is hereby replaced by the following:
'(e) until 31 December 1992, where the aid are granted as a temporary measure and designed to facilitate the development of combined transport, such aids have to relate to:
- investment in infrastructure or the fixed and moveable facilities necessary for trans-shipment, or
- the operating costs of combined transport in so far as intra-Community transit traffic through the territory of third countries is involved. The Commission shall submit a report to the Council as soon as possible on the conditions under which aid for operating costs is implemented.
Before 1 July 1991 the Commission shall make a progress report to the Countil on the application of this provision. In the light of that report, and in view of the temporary nature of the system provided for in this Regulation, the Council shall decide, under the conditions laid down in the Treaty, on the arrangements to be applied subsequently or, if necessary, on the conditions for terminating such aid.'

(3) Equal and continuous access to the quota should be offered to all operators concerned in the Community and appropriate monitoring of the quota should be ensured. To this end, the utilisation of the quota should be based on the presentation of a certificate of authenticity guaranteeing the type and origin of the products.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 26/2001
of 5 January 2001
laying down certain measures derogating from Regulation (EC) No 2561/2000 on private storage aid in the beef 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 48(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 2561/2000 of 21 November 2000 laying down special provisions for the granting of private storage aid for cows(2) provides for contract applications to be introduced from 27 November 2000. These applications must be accompanied by a security referred to in Article 7(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 907/2000(3). Article 7(2) of the same Regulation defines the primary requirements for the said security. In accordance herewith, an operator cannot withdraw a contract application and must place and keep in storage at least 90 % of the contractual quantity.
(2) Article 2(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2777/2000 of 18 December 2000 adopting exceptional support measures for the beef market(4) provides that meat from animals aged more than 30 months and slaughtered in the Community after 1 January 2001 can only be released for human consumption if tested negatively for BSE. These tests can only be carried out at the time of slaughter. The Council had on 4 December 2000 announced the intentions of the Commission to adopt the abovementioned measure and the information was subsequently widely spread. Operators who had applied for private storage contracts before that date could not know that the market conditions for release of beef for human consumption would change fundamentally before they were allowed to take the products out of private storage. Consequently, it is appropriate to provide that contracts applied for before 5 December 2000 may be cancelled without loss of the security and at the same time to release any stored quantities under the contracts.
(3) Operators should be allowed to make use of this Regulation as quickly as possible.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Contracts concluded under Regulation (EC) No 2561/2000 on the basis of applications lodged before 5 December 2000 may be cancelled at the request of the contracting party.
By way of derogation from Article 7(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 907/2000, the securities and stored quantities related to the cancelled contracts shall be released immediately.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall be applicable from 5 December 2000.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
