Whereas for the purpose of purchase and control procedures, it is appropriate to apply certain provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79 of 4 October 1979 on detailed rules of application for the disposal of beef bought in by intervention agencies and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 216/69 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1759/93 (8), and 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 (9), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1938/93 (10);

Whereas it is necessary to provide for the lodging of a security to guarantee that the beef arrives at the intended destination;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 3082/94 (11) should be repealed;
