COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 784/2006

of 24 May 2006

modifying Regulation (EC) No 323/2006 derogating from Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 as regards
the term of validity of export licences in the milk and milk products sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(3)

Having regard to the Treaty
Community,

establishing the European

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), and in particular Article 31(14) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 174/1999
of 26 January 1999 laying down special detailed rules for
the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68
as regards export licences and export refunds in the case
of milk and milk products (2)
lays down the term of
validity of export licences.

As a precautionary measure, with a view to protect the
Community budget from unnecessary expenditures and
to avoid a speculative application of the export refund
regime in the dairy sector, Commission Regulation (EC)
No 323/2006 (3) provided for that, by way of derogation
from Regulation (EC) No 174/1999, the term of validity
of export licences for milk products for which an appli-
cation has been lodged from 1 March 2006 on should be
limited to 30 June 2006.

A close monitoring of both the internal and the world
market has shown a longer validity period of the licences
may be progressively re-established without any risk of
destabilisation of the proper functioning of the common
market organisation. It is therefore appropriate to modify
Regulation (EC) No 323/2006.

(4)

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 323/2006 is replaced by the
following:

‘By way of derogation from Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No
174/1999,
licences with
the term of validity of export
advance fixing of the refund, which are applied for from
25 May 2006 until 15 June 2006 in respect of
the
products referred to in point (c) of that Article, shall expire
on 30 June 2006.’

Article 2

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

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