COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2789/98

of 22 December 1998

derogating temporarily from 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 1633/98 (2), and in particular Article 9(2) thereof,

Whereas the second indent of Article 8(1) 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 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
2365/98 (4), lays down the period of validity of export
licences for certain products with advance fixing of the
refund; whereas Article 10(5) of the above Regulation
provides that export licence applications for a quantity
not exceeding 22 tonnes of products falling within CN
code 0201 are not to be subject to a five-day time lag;

in order

Whereas,
to avoid jeopardising the smooth
running of the market partly as a result of problems
encountered on the Russian market since late August
1998, greater flexibility in the management of export
licences should be introduced on a temporary basis by
extending the period of validity of export licences for beef
from 30 to 60 days and extending the derogation under
Article 10(5) to products falling within CN code 0202;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

1. Notwithstanding the second indent of Article 8(1) of
Regulation (EC) No 1445/95, the period of validity of
export licences with advance fixing of the refund for
products other than those falling within CN codes 0102
and 1602 shall be 60 days.

2. Notwithstanding the first sentence of Article 10(5) of
Regulation (EC) No 1445/95, licence applications for a
quantity not exceeding 22 tonnes of products falling
within CN codes 0201 and 0202 shall not, at the applic-
ant’s request, be subject to the five-day time lag.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day
following its publication in the Official Journal of the
European Communities.

It shall apply to applications for export licences with
advance fixing of the refund from the date of entry into
force of this Regulation until 31 March 1999.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member
States.

Done at Brussels, 22 December 1998.
