Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/
85 (7) determines the scope of that Regulation by listing
the Regulations providing for the securities to which it
applies. Council Regulation (EC) No 670/2003 of 8
April 2003 laying down specific measures concerning
in ethyl alcohol of agricultural origin (8)
the market
provides for a security for the issue of
import and
export licences. It should be specified therefore that the
provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 apply also
to Regulation (EC) No 670/2003.

Certain regulations implementing Council Regulations
(EC) No 2202/96 and (EC) No 1782/2003 may provide
for securities. It should be specified therefore that the
provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 apply also
to Regulations (EC) No 2202/96 and (EC) No 1782/
2003.

Some of the regulations listed in Article 1 of Regulation
(EEC) No 2220/85 have been repealed. In the interests of
clarity, Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 should
therefore be updated, where necessary by replacing the
references to the repealed regulations by references to
those that have replaced them.

Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 should be amended
accordingly.

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