No 1633/98 (2), and in particular Article 7(3) thereof,

in certain third countries; whereas,

Whereas the application of
intervention measures in
respect of beef has resulted in a build-up of stocks in
several Member States; whereas outlets for these products
in order to
exist
prevent storage being prolonged excessively, part of these
stocks should be sold by tendering procedure for export
to those countries; whereas to permit the sale of meat of
uniform quality, beef that was purchased under Article 6
of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 should be sold;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2539/84 of 5
September 1984 laying down detailed rules for certain
sales of frozen beef held by the intervention agencies (3),
as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2417/95 (4),
provides for the possibility of a two-stage procedure for
the sale of beef from intervention;

Whereas the sale should be conducted in accordance with
Regulation (EEC) No 2539/84 and Commission Regula-
tion (EEC) No 3002/92 of 16 October 1992 laying down
common detailed rules for verifying the use and/or des-
tination of products from intervention (5), as last amended
by Regulation (EC) No 770/96 (6);

Whereas, in order to ensure that the tendering procedure
is consistent and uniform, measures should be adopted in
addition to those provided for in Article 8(1) of Commis-
sion Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79 of 4 October 1979 on
detailed rules of application for the disposal of beef
bought in by intervention agencies (7), as last amended by
Regulation (EC) No 2417/95;

Whereas provision should be made for derogations from
Article 8(2)(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79 in view of

(1) OJ L 148, 28. 6. 1968, p. 24.

1995 on rules of application for import and export
licences in the beef and veal sector (8), as last amended by
Regulation (EC) No 759/98 (9); whereas the deadline for
taking over laid down in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC)
No 2539/84 should accordingly be adjusted;

Whereas, in order to ensure that the beef sold is exported
to the eligible third countries, provision should be made
for a security to be lodged before the goods are taken over
