COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1084/94 of 10 May 1994 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences in the beef and veal sector and repealing Regulation (EC) No 854/94
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3611/93 (2), and in particular Articles 15 (2) and 25 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2867/93 (4), lays down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences in the beef and veal sector;
Whereas recent trends on the market for beef and veal indicate that the Commission needs to be better informed of the quantities and the destinations of live bovine animals other than pure-bred breeding animals for which export licences have been applied for; whereas, moreover, it is necessary to provide for the issue of export licences with advance fixing of refunds after a period of five working days, in order to enable the Commission to assess the market situation and, if necessary, to take appropriate measures with regard to the applications concerned, including the possible rejection of such applications; whereas the above measures cannot be effective unless the Commission is informed quickly of the quantities and destinations of those animals; whereas, therefore, Articles 8a and 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 should be amended;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 854/94 (5) extending the suspension of the advance fixing of export refunds in the beef and veal sector should be repealed;
Whereas 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:
