COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1572/97 of 4 August 1997 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 establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2222/96 (2), and in particular Articles 9 and 13 thereof,
Whereas Article 10 (5) of 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 Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1496/97 (4), provides that by way of derogation from paragraph 1 of that Article, export licence applications for a quantity not exceeding 22 tonnes of products falling within CN codes 0201 and 0202 are not, at the applicant's request, subject to the five-day time-lag;
Whereas, where licence applications are rejected, applications for licences for frozen meat covering such small quantities have made up an abnormally high proportion; whereas, consequently, for the sake of better administration of the quantities, applications for those licences should be restricted to fresh or chilled meat falling within CN code 0201;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
