COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1832/2001

of 18 September 2001

amending Regulation (EC) No 795/2001 on special measures derogating from Regulations (EC) No
174/1999, (EC) No 800/1999 and (EC) No 1291/2000 in the milk and milk products sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(5)

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17
May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk
and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
1670/2000 (2), and in particular Article 26(3) and Article
31(14) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

as
Commission Regulation (EC) No 795/2001 (3),
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1342/2001 (4), intro-
duced special measures with a view to regularising
it had not been possible to
export operations that
the lengthy procedures for
complete on account of
issuing animal-health certificates
in certain Member
States, connected with protective measures adopted
under the relevant decisions and certain measures taken
by some third countries that give rise to import restric-
tions.

The animal-health protective measures applied by the
authorities of certain third countries with regard to
Community exports are still
in force and continue
the export possibilities to certain
adversely to affect
destinations.

The impact on Community exporters should be limited
by extending the term of validity of the export licences
concerned for certain products and certain time limits
and by allowing for the cancellation of unused export
licences and for the release of the security.

It is appropriate that the new measures enter into force
immediately so as to allow the operators to adapt to the
new provisions accordingly.

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