Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1445/95(2) provides that export licences are to be issued on the fifth working day following the date on which the application is lodged, provided that the Commission has not taken any specific action during that period.

(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
