COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 130/2004

of 26 January 2004

amending Regulation (EC) No 1518/2003 laying down detailed rules for implementing the system
of export licences in the pigmeat sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29
October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in
pigmeat (1), and in particular Article 8(2), Article 13(12) and
Article 22 thereof,

Whereas:

(5)

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

The market in pigmeat is currently in a difficult situation
and the market should be supported by granting export
refunds for products falling within CN code 0203.

Article 2(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/
2003 (2) sets the period of validity of export licences at
90 days from their date of issue. However, to relieve the
market rapidly and allow the market price level
to
improve, operators should be encouraged to undertake
exports more rapidly by means of refunds. A shorter
period of validity for export licences issued under this
measure should therefore be set.

Given the increase in refunds compared with previous
situations, the amount of the securities set in Annex I to
Regulation (EC) No 1518/2003 should be adjusted.

Regulation (EC) No 1518/2003 is hereby amended as follows:

(a) in Article 2(1) the following subparagraph is added:

‘However, for products falling within CN code 0203, export
licences issued in February 2004 shall be valid only until
the end of the second month following that of their issue
and those issued in March 2004 shall be valid only until
the end of the month following that of their issue.’

(b) Annex I is replaced by the Annex hereto.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publica-
tion in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Regulation (EC) No 1518/2003 should therefore be
amended accordingly.

It shall apply to export licences applied for from 27 January
2004.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 26 January 2004.
