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 the meat should be put up for sale in accordance with Regulations (EEC) No 2539/84 and (EEC) No 2824/85;

Whereas with a view to securing a regular and uniform tendering procedure, measures should be taken in addition to those laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1759/93;

Whereas, it is appropriate to provide for the products to leave the Community within five months following the date of conclusion of the sale contract;

Whereas, as specified in Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 2539/84, lodging of securities 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 3002/92 (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1938/93 (9);

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 2439/94 (10) should be repealed;
