COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 359/94 of 17 February 1994 on the sale by tender of beef held by certain intervention agencies
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic 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 (EEC) No 3611/93 (2), and in particular Article 7 (3) thereof,
Whereas the application of intervention measures in respect of beef has created large stocks in several Member States; whereas, in order to prevent an excessive prolongation of storage, part of these stocks should be sold by tender;
Whereas the sale should be made subject to the rules laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1759/93 (4), subject to certain special exceptions which are necessary;
Whereas with a view to securing a regular and uniform tendering procedure, measures should be taken in addition to those laid down in Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79;
Whereas it seems appropriate to provide for derogations from provisions of Article 8 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79, taking into account the administrative difficulties which the application of this subparagraph raises in the Member States  concerned;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
