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 organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1633/98 (2), and in particular Article 13(12) and Article 25 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 2106/98 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2157/98 (4), introduces special measures for regularising certain export transactions in the wake of the problems arising on the market in Russia since the second half of August 1998;
Whereas the difficulties on the market in Russia are continuing; whereas the situation thereby created has seriously affected operators' possibilities of exporting to that destination; whereas the damaging consequences of this must accordingly be limited by the adoption of special measures enabling the export licences and certain customs procedures already initiated to be cancelled and certain time limits to be extended;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
