         Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 18(2) thereof,
         Whereas:
         
                     (1)
                  
                  
                     Private storage aid granted pursuant to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/596 (2) has had a favourable effect on the beef market.
                  
               
                     (2)
                  
                  
                     Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1006 (3) has suspended applications for private storage aid for five working days.

                     The granting of private storage aid for fresh or chilled meat of bovine animals aged eight months or more should therefore end and a closing date for the submission of applications should be set.
                  
               
                     (4)
                  
                  
                     For the sake of legal certainty, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/596 should be repealed.
                  
               
                     (5)
                  
                  
                     In order to avoid speculation, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
