Regulation (EC) No 1731/2006 is amended as follows:

(2)

(3)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1731/2006 (2) provides
for the necessary measures and conditions to guarantee
that the preserved products eligible for export refunds are
produced solely from beef and veal, and that the meat is
of Community origin.

constraints

The
imposed by Regulation (EC) No
1731/2006 as regards the presentation of the meat to
the customs authorities have proved to create practical
and unnecessary problems to the concerned operators.
Moreover the constraints imposed by the Regulation as
regards the fulfilment of export formalities complicate
the tasks of customs authorities in those Member States
where electronic customs systems are already applied.

To make the implementation of Regulation (EC) No
1731/2006 easier, the conditions relating to the presen­
tation of the meat to the customs authorities and the
export
therein should thus be simplified
whilst ensuring the effectiveness and transparency of
the control by the customs authorities.

formalities

1. In Article 3(1), the third subparagraph is replaced by the

following:

‘The meat shall be presented and labelled in a manner which
ensures it is clearly identifiable and can be easily associated
with the accompanying declaration.’

2. In Article 6, paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:

‘1.
the
Operators shall enter the reference number of
declaration(s) referred to in Article 3(1) of this Regulation
on the export declaration(s) referred to in Article 5 of Regu­
lation (EC) No 800/1999 together with the quantities and
identification details of
the preserved products exported
corresponding to each declaration.’

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following
its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

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