COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 738/98

of 1 April 1998

derogating temporarily from Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2634/97 (2), and in particular Articles 9 and 13 thereof,

Whereas Article 10(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June 1995 on rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 260/98 (4), provides that export licences are to be issued on the fifth working day following that on which the application is lodged, provided that no specific action has been taken by the Commission in the meantime;

Whereas, in view of the public holidays in 1998 and the fact that the Official Journal is not published regularly on those days, the period for reflection of five days is too short to ensure sound management of the market and it should be extended temporarily to seven days;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Notwithstanding Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1445/95, licences for applications lodged from:

— 6 to 8 April 1998,

— 27 to 29 April 1998,

— 18 to 20 May 1998,

— 21 to 30 December 1998,

shall be issued on the seventh working day following that on which the application is lodged, provided no specific action as indicated in Article 10(2) of that Regulation is taken by the Commission in the meantime.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Brussels, 1 April 1998. For the Commission Franz FISCHLER Member of the Commission

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2182/98 of 9 October 1998 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1848/93 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92 on certificates of specific character for agricultural products and foodstuffs

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92 of 14 July 1992 on certificates of specific character for agricultural products and foodstuffs (1), and in particular Article 20 thereof,

Whereas Article 4(2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1848/93 of 9 July 1993 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92 on certificates of specific character for agricultural products and foodstuffs (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2515/94 (3), allows for action to be taken to inform the public of the meaning of the 'traditional speciality guaranteed` indication and the logo in the Community languages; whereas the action taken, notably a Community campaign directed at producers, distributors and consumers, has been demonstrably useful and effective;

Whereas given the useful positive impact of the action taken to make Regulation (EEC) No 2082/92 and the logo and indication it provides for known, a four-year extension to the time limit set in Regulation (EEC) No 2037/93 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1726/98 (5), should be made so that it can be continued and its impact increased;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Certificates of Specific Character,

Article 1

Article 4(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1848/93 is amended as follows:

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The following sentence shall be added to the first subparagraph of Article 4(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2392/86:
