COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1420/2001

of 12 July 2001

limiting the term of validity of export licences for certain products processed from cereals

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30
June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in
cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/
2000 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 of
23 May 1995 laying down special detailed rules for the
application of the system of import and export licences for
cereals and rice (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
409/2001 (4), and in particular Article 7(1) thereof,

Regulation (EEC) No 2026/83 (6). Such limiting of the
term of validity of export licences entails a derogation
from Articles 28(6) and 29(5) of Commission Regula-
tion (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down
common detailed rules for the application of the system
of export refunds on agricultural products (7), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 90/2001 (8).

(4)

(5)

The application of the measures provided for in this
Regulation must coincide with its entry into force in
order to avoid potential market disturbance.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Cereals,

Whereas:

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

licences,

Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 fixes the
in particular for
term of validity of export
products processed from maize. That term of validity
extends to the end of the fourth month following that of
issue of the licence. The term of validity is fixed in
accordance with market requirements and the need for
sound management.

The current situation on the maize market makes it
desirable to limit the issuing of licences in order to avoid
committing quantities from the new marketing year.
Licences to be issued in forthcoming months must be
reserved for exports before the middle of September
2001. To that end, the term of validity of export licences
to be issued for execution up to 15 September 2001
must be limited. A temporary derogation should accord-
ingly be introduced to Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No
1162/95.

In order to ensure sound management of the market and
to prevent speculation, provision should be made for
customs export formalities for export licences for prod-
ucts processed from maize to be completed by 15
September 2001 at the latest either as direct exports or
exports under the arrangements laid down in Articles 4
and 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 of 4
March 1980 on the advance payment of export refunds
in respect of agricultural products (5), as amended by

(1) OJ L 181, 1.7.1992, p. 21.
(2) OJ L 193, 29.7.2000, p. 1.
(3) OJ L 117, 24.5.1995, p. 2.
(4) OJ L 60, 1.3.2001, p. 27.
(5) OJ L 62, 7.3.1980, p. 5.

Article 1

Notwithstanding Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No
1162/95, export licences for products referred to in the Annex

only.

Customs export formalities for the above licences must

2.
be completed by 15 September 2001 at the latest.

Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 in respect of

tion (EEC) No 565/80 under cover of such licences.

One of the following shall be entered in Section 22 of the
