COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2492/2001

of 19 December 2001

amending 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,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Article 1

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17
May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef
and veal (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC)
No 2345/2001 (2), and in particular Article 29(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2789/98 (3), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1204/2001 (4), grants a
temporary derogation until 31 December 2001 from
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 (5), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 24/2001 (6).

In view of the difficult economic conditions applying to
exports of beef and veal and the experience gained as a
result of
the derogations granted, certain conditions
which have been temporarily relaxed as regards the
period of validity of export licences with advance fixing
of the refund and the application of Article 10(5) of
Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 to products falling within
CN code 0202, should be made permanent. Those
conditions should therefore be included in Regulation
(EC) No 1445/95.

(3)

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