COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1749/2006

of 27 November 2006

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,

Having regard to the Treaty
Community,

establishing the European

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), and in particular Article 33(12) thereof,

Whereas:

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 of 26 June
1995 on rules of application for import and export
licences in the beef and veal sector and repealing Regu-
lation (EEC) No 2377/80 (2) sets out the conditions for
the operation of
import and export
the system of
licences in the beef and veal sector.

Since the start of 2005, the level of export refunds in the
beef and veal sector has been reduced several times. The
level of the security for export licences with advance
fixing of the refund has not, however, been adapted to
this new situation. The levels of that security should be
adapted to take account of these reductions, maintaining
a ratio between the level of the security and the level of
the refund similar to that which applied prior to the
reduction of the refunds.

Exports in the beef and veal sector have been declining
steadily since 2000. In the interests of simplification and
efficient management,
in the current context it would
also appear appropriate to review the rules for issuing
those export licences which do not have to be issued
immediately. In this context, the communication by the
Member States to the Commission of applications for
licences should be limited to one notification
export
per week. Similarly,
the quantities for which export
licences may, at the request of the operator, be issued
immediately should be increased from 22 to 25 tonnes.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1741/2006 (3)
lays
down the conditions for granting the special export
refund on boned meat of adult male bovine animals
placed under the customs warehousing procedure prior
to export. To allow the smooth operation of that system,
it should be laid down that licences which are to be

(1) OJ L 160, 26.6.1999, p. 21. Regulation last amended by Regulation

(EC) No 1913/2005 (OJ L 307, 25.11.2005, p. 2).

(2) OJ L 143, 27.6.1995, p. 35. Regulation last amended by Regulation

(EC) No 1713/2006 (OJ L 321, 21.11.2006, p. 11).

(3) OJ L 329, 25.11.2006, p. 7.

issued immediately, with a validity restricted to five
working days, do not allow access to the customs ware-
housing procedure prior to export provided for in Regu-
lation (EC) No 1741/2006.

For the same reasons, it should also be laid down that
the reduction of the refund provided for in Article 18(3)
of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15
April 1999 laying down common detailed rules for the
application of
the system of export refunds on agri-
cultural products (4) where the destination of the beef
and veal has changed from that initially indicated on
the export certificate does not apply to the beef and
veal placed under that system.

Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 should therefore be
amended accordingly.

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