COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 759/98

of 3 April 1998

amending 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 7 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),
last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 260/98 (4), provides that
export licences must be issued for all products exported
from 2 January 1998;

as

Whereas Article 5(1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No
3719/88 of 16 November 1988 laying down common
detailed rules for the application of the system of import
and export licences and advance fixing certificates for
agricultural products (5), as last amended by Regulation
(EC) No 1404/97 (6), provides that no export licence is
required for products where no refund is applied for and
in quantities such that the security for any licence would
have been ECU 5 or less;

Whereas, in the case of beef and veal, that limit of ECU 5
corresponds to one head of livestock or 200 kilograms of
meat; whereas that limit has proved much too low, in
particular for certain traditional transborder trade flows;

whereas a derogation from Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88
to increase that
should accordingly be provided for
amount to ECU 60;

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 following paragraph is hereby added to Article 7 of
Regulation (EC) No 1445/95:

‘However, notwithstanding the fourth indent of Article
5(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88, no export
licence shall be required for products covered by the
second indent of Article 8(2) in quantities such that
the security for any licence would have been ECU 60
or less. If the licence is issued per head and if the
amount of ECU 60 does not correspond to a whole
number of head,
the security shall be deemed to
correspond to that for the next higher whole number
of head.’

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, 3 April 1998.
