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 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 in view of the supply needs in the Soviet Union part of that meat should be put up for sale in accordance with Regulations (EEC) No 2539/84 and (EEC) No 2824/85 in order to be imported into that country;

Whereas, in view of the urgency and the specific nature of the operation and of the need for controls, special detailed rules must be laid down in particular as regards the minimum quantity which may be purchased;

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 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 815/91 (7);

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

Whereas products held by intervention agencies and intended for export are subject to the provision of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 569/88 (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2654/91 (9); whereas the Annex to the said Regulation setting out the entries to be made should be expanded;
