COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1964/82
of 20 July 1982
laying down the conditions for granting special export refunds on
certain cuts of boned meat of bovine animals
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
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 the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Articles 18
(6) and 25 thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 885/68 (2), as last amended by
Regulation (EEC) No 427/77 (3), laid down general rules for granting
export refunds and criteria for fixing the amount thereof;
Whereas, on account of the market situation, the economic situation in
the beef and veal sector and the scope for selling certain products of the
sector, the conditions governing the payment of special export refunds on
these products should be determined; whereas, in particular, conditions
should be laid down for certain cuts of meat produced by boning
hindquarters of male cattle;
Whereas, in order to ensure that these objectives are complied with, a
special supervisory procedure should be introduced; whereas the origin
of the product may be authenticated by the production of a certificate on
the model of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 32/82 of 7
January 1982 laying down the conditions for granting special export
refunds for beef and veal (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No
752/82 (5);
Whereas it should be specified that the grant of the special refund shall
be conditional on all the cut meat produced by boning the hindquarters
placed under supervision being exported, apart from certain by-products
which can be sold in the Community;
Whereas, as far as time limits and proof of export are concerned,
reference should be made to the provisions of Commission Regulation
(EEC) No 2730/79 of 29 November 1979 laying down common detailed
rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural
products (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 202/82 (7);
Whereas, for the smooth operation of the arrangements instituted by this
Regulation, operators should be able, if they wish, to make use of the
provisions of Article 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 of 4
March 1980 on the advance payment of export refunds in respect of
agricultural products (8),
Whereas application of the arrangements on victualling warehouses set
out in Article 26 of Regulation (EEC) No 2730/79 is incompatible with
the purpose of this Regulation; whereas there is no need therefore to
make any provision for applying the arrangements indicated in the said
Article 26 to the products in question;
Whereas, in view of the special nature of this refund, no substitution
should be permitted and means of identification of the products in
question should be provided for;!B

Whereas the method by which the Member States notify the Commission
of the quantities of products on which special export refunds have been
granted should be laid down;
Whereas the Management Committee for Beef and Veal has not
delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
