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 Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 135/97 (4), lays down the rules of application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 135/97 reduces the term of validity of export licences to 30 days for all products in the beef and veal sector;
