tion of the abovementioned arrangements, certain deroga-
tions from that Regulation should be laid down, in par-
ticular, with regard to the application for and the issue of

security to guarantee that the beef arrives at the intended
destination;

Whereas Commission Regulations (EC) No 2509/98 (13)
and (EC) No 2319/98 (14) should be repealed;

in accordance with the opinion of
the Management
