THE COMPETENT INTERVENTION AGENCY OF THAT OTHER MEMBER STATE ON THE FORM PROVIDED FOR THAT PURPOSE?"
7 REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE REPORT FOR THE HEARING FOR THE PROVISIONS OF COMMUNITY LAW AND THE ARGUMENTS OF THE PARTIES, WHICH ARE MENTIONED OR DISCUSSED HEREINAFTER ONLY IN SO FAR AS IS NECESSARY FOR THE REASONING OF THE COURT .
8 IT MUST BE STATED IN THE FIRST PLACE THAT THE COMMISSION' S VIEW THAT UNDER ARTICLE 2 ( 2 ) OF REGULATION NO 32/82 ( HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS "THE REGULATION ") THE MEMBER STATE MUST BE THE SAME, AND THAT THAT REQUIREMENT CONSTITUTES ONE OF THE "SPECIFIC CONDITIONS" MENTIONED IN ARTICLE 1 ( 1 ) FOR THE GRANT OF SPECIAL REFUNDS, CANNOT BE UPHELD . ARTICLE 2 ( 1 ) OF THE REGULATION DETERMINES THE PURPOSE OF THE PROOF TO BE PROVIDED, WHICH IS TO CERTIFY THAT THE PRODUCTS COME "FROM FULL-GROWN MALE CATTLE ". ARTICLE 2 ( 2 ) DETERMINES INTER ALIA THE FORM OF THE PROOF, NAMELY THE CERTIFICATE OF WHICH A SPECIMEN IS GIVEN IN THE ANNEX, AND INDICATES WHICH AUTHORITIES ARE COMPETENT TO ISSUE IT . NEITHER PARAGRAPH ( 1 ) NOR PARAGRAPH ( 2 ) OF ARTICLE 2 EXPRESSLY REQUIRES THE SLAUGHTER OF THE CATTLE AND THE COMPLETION OF THE CUSTOMS FORMALITIES TO TAKE PLACE IN THE SAME MEMBER STATE AS A PRECONDITION FOR THE GRANT OF THE REFUNDS .
9 IT IS APPARENT FROM THE WORDING OF ARTICLE 2 ( 2 ) OF THE REGULATION THAT THE CERTIFICATE MAY BE ISSUED EITHER BY THE COMPETENT NATIONAL INTERVENTION AGENCY WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE COMMON ORGANIZATION OF THE MARKET IN BEEF AND VEAL, OR BY "ANY OTHER AUTHORITY DESIGNATED FOR THE PURPOSE ". THUS, IT FOLLOWS FROM THAT PROVISION THAT INTERVENTION AGENCIES ARE COMPETENT IN ALL CASES . THE RESTRICTION IMPLICIT IN THE PHRASE "BY THE MEMBER STATE IN WHICH THE ANIMALS WERE SLAUGHTERED AND IN WHICH THE CUSTOMS EXPORT FORMALITIES ARE COMPLETED" RELATES THEREFORE ONLY TO THE SECOND OF THE TWO ALTERNATIVES, NAMELY THE "OTHER AUTHORITY ".
10 THE REQUIREMENT THAT ONLY ONE MEMBER STATE SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN THE CASE OF AN "OTHER AUTHORITY" IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE NEED TO GUARANTEE THE PROBATIVE FORCE OF THE CERTIFICATE . THE CUSTOMS OFFICES IN THE OTHER MEMBER STATES CANNOT DETERMINE WHETHER THE "OTHER AUTHORITY" HAS IN FACT BEEN "DESIGNATED" BY THE MEMBER STATE IN QUESTION FOR THE PURPOSE OF ISSUING THE CERTIFICATE . FOR THAT REASON, THE COMPETENCE OF THE "OTHER AUTHORITY" MUST BE LIMITED TO CASES WHERE THE MEMBER STATE OF SLAUGHTER IS THE SAME AS THAT OF EXPORTATION . THE NEED FOR SUCH A CONDITION DOES NOT ARISE WHERE CERTIFICATES ARE ISSUED BY INTERVENTION AGENCIES, SINCE THEIR AUTHORITY, WHICH IS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR IN ARTICLE 2 ( 2 ) OF THE REGULATION, CANNOT BE DOUBTED BY ANY CUSTOMS OFFICE IN THE COMMUNITY .
11 THE COMMISSION HAS ALSO CONTENDED THAT IT IS NECESSARY TO CONCENTRATE ALL THE OPERATIONS IN A SINGLE MEMBER STATE
