COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 148/91 of 22 January 1991 on the sale by the procedure laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2539/84 of boneless beef held by certain intervention agencies and intended for export, amending Regulation (EEC) No 569/88 and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 3711/90

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 3577/90 (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 Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2824/85 of 9 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the sale of frozen boned beef from intervention stocks for export, either in the same state or after cutting and/or repacking (5) has provided for repackaging under certain conditions;

Whereas certain intervention agencies hold large stocks of boneless 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 as there are outlets in certain third countries for the products concerned, part of that meat should be put up for sale in accordance with Regulations (EEC) No 2539/84 and (EEC) No 2824/85;

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 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2996/90 (7);

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

Whereas it is appropriate to specify that, in view of the prices which have been fixed in the context of this sale in order to permit the disposal of certain cuts, exports of such cuts should not be eligible for the refunds periodically fixed in the beef and veal sector;

Whereas products held by intervention agencies and intended for export are subject to the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 569/88 (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3712/90 (9); whereas the Annex to the said Regulation should be modified;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3711/90 (10) 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,
