COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2466/82

of 10 September 1982

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2042/75 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1451/82 (2), and in particular Articles 12 (2) and 16 (6) thereof,

Whereas Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2042/75 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2223/81 (4), lays down rules for the issue of export licences in connection with public auctions organized by the intervention agencies under Articles 5 and 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 376/70;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82 of 7 July 1982 laying down the fixing procedure and conditions for the disposal of cereals held by intervention agencies (5), which repeals Regulation (EEC) No 376/70, does not provide for the sale by public auction of cereals held in intervention which are to be exported; whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2042/75 should therefore be amended;

Whereas the amendment to the said Article 3 must also take into account certain provisions in connection with export licences contained in Regulation (EEC) No 1836/82;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
