THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27
June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in milk
and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
1587/96 (2), and in particular Articles 13(3), 17(14) and 28
thereof, and the corresponding provisions of other Regulations
on the common organisation of the market in agricultural

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

(5)

Special measures have been taken by Commission Regu-
lation 1729/1999 (3)
to regularise export operations
which could not be completed due to the appearance of
contamination of certain products with dioxin.

Health measures taken by the authorities of certain third
countries in respect of exports from the Community are
still in place and continue to affect export possibilities
for certain agricultural products.

The damaging consequences for Community exporters
should be limited by extending the validity of export
licences for certain products and extending certain time
limits.

In the light of development, this Regulation should enter
into force immediately.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of all the Management
Committees concerned,

Article 1

1. Article 2(2) is replaced by the following:

174/1999 (8) which were applied for by 7 June 1999 at the
latest shall be extended by:
— 5 months for licences for which the validity period

expires on 31 May 1999,

— 4 months for licences for which the validity period
