of 21 March 2002
derogating temporarily from Regulation (EC) No 1370/95 laying down detailed rules for implementing the system of export licences in the pigmeat sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1365/2000(2), and in particular Article 8(2), Article 13(12) and Article 22 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1370/95(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 505/2002(4), provides that export licences are to be issued on the Wednesday following the week in which licence applications are lodged, provided that no special measures are taken by the Commission in the meanwhile.
(2) Given the dates of public holidays in 2002 and the consequent irregular publication of the Official Journal of the European Communities, the period for consideration is too short to ensure effective market management and it should therefore be extended temporarily.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
