COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 983/81 of 8 April 1981 on the sale at prices fixed at a standard rate in advance of certain frozen beef from intervention stocks for processing in the Community and amending Regulation (EEC) No 2182/77  THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 7 (3) thereof,  Whereas the application of intervention measures in respect of beef has created large stocks in certain Member States;  Whereas, in the present market situation, there are outlets for such meat for processing in the Community;  Whereas such sales should be made subject to the rules laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79 (2), should also be governed by the rules laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 227/81 (4), and by those laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2182/77 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1026/78 (6), subject to certain special exceptions on account of the particular use to which the products in question are to be put;  Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2182/77 requires, in Article 4 (1), purchasers to provide, before conclusion of the contract of sale, a security to guarantee that the products will be processed ; whereas experience has shown the need to lay down a time limit for provision of that security to prevent operators delaying the conclusion of contracts of sale;  Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1055/77 (7) provides that, in the case of products stored by an intervention agency outside the territory of the Member State within whose jurisdiction it falls, a different selling price from that for products stored on that territory may be fixed ; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1805/77 (8) fixed the method for calculating the selling prices for such products ; whereas, to avoid all confusion, it should be expressly stated that the prices fixed by this Regulation are subject to adjustment in the case of those products;  Whereas it seems appropriate to waive the second subparagraph of Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79 taking into account the administrative difficulties which the application of this rule raises in certain Member States;  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 1. During the period 13 April to 15 May 1981 the following approximate quantities of beef products shall be put up for sale for processing within the Community:    - 3 700 tonnes of bone-in beef held by the German intervention agency and bought in before 1 November 1980,       - 5 400 tonnes of bone-in beef held by the Italian intervention agency and bought in before 1 October 1980,       - 3 000 tonnes of boned beef held by the Irish intervention agency and bought in before 1 October 1980,       - 2 000 tonnes of boned beef held by the United Kingdom intervention agency and bought in before 1 October 1980.    2. The intervention agencies referred to in paragraph 1 shall sell first the meat which has been stored the longest.  3. The prices, quality and quantities of this meat are set out in Annex I hereto.
