COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1065/98 of 26 May 1998 repealing certain regulations concerning beef

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 (EEC) No 2634/97 (2), and in particular Articles 6(7), 7(3) and 13(12) thereof,

Whereas a good many legislative instruments in the beef sector have become devoid of purpose as a result mainly of amendments to the basic legislation, the performance of the regulated acts for which the instruments were introduced, the adoption of new international agreements between the Community and its trading partners, and major changes which have taken place on the market; whereas, for reasons of clarity and legal certainty and for the sake of simplification, the legislative instruments in question should be formally repealed;

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

The regulations set out in the Annex hereto are repealed.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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, 26 May 1998.
