THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 43 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3515/92 of 4 December 1992 laying down common detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1055/77 on the storage and movement of products bought in by an intervention agency (2) has been substantially amended several times (3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.
(2) The competent authorities are informed of all trade in the products in question. Therefore, for the sake of administrative simplicity it is desirable that a licence should not be required in respect of products held by a paying agency or an intervention agency which are exported to a third country for storage there or returned to the Member State of departure.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
