COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1231/93 of 19 May 1993 on the sale by the procedure laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2539/84 of bone-in beef held by certain intervention agencies and intended for export, repealing Regulation (EEC) No 3782/92

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 Regulation (EEC) No 125/93 (2), and in particular Article 7 (3) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2539/84 of 5 September 1984 laying down detailed rules for certain sales of frozen beef held by the intervention agencies (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1809/87 (4), has provided for the possibility of applying a two-stage procedure when selling beef from intervention stocks;

Whereas certain intervention agencies hold stocks of bone-in intervention meat; whereas an extension of the period of storage for the meat bought in should be avoided on account of the ensuing high costs; whereas outlets exist in certain third countries for the products in question; whereas it is appropriate therefore to offer this meat for sale in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2539/84;

Whereas quarters from intervention stocks may in certain cases have been handled a number of times; whereas, in order to help with the presentation and marketing of such meat, its repackaging should be authorized, subject to the observance of precise conditions;

Whereas it is necessary to lay down a time limit for export of the said meat; whereas this time limit should be fixed by taking into account Article 5 (b) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 of 4 September 1980 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences in the beef and veal sector (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3662/92 (6);

Whereas in order to ensure that beef sold is exported, the lodging of security, as specified at (a) of Article 5 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2539/84, should be required;

Whereas products held by intervention agencies and intended for export are subject to the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92 of 16 October 1992 laying down common detailed rules for verifying the use and/or destination of products from intervention (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 642/93 (8);

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3782/92 (9) 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,
