COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 77/81 of 13 January 1981 on the issue of export licences for beef and veal benefiting from special import treatment in a non-member country
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2931/79 of 20 December 1979 on the granting of assistance for the exportation of agricultural products which may benefit from a special import treatment in a third country (1),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2973/79 of 21 December 1979 laying down detailed rules for the application of granting of assistance for the export of beef and veal products which may benefit from a special import treatment in a third country (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2077/80 (3), and in particular Article 2 (4) thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2973/79 provides for the issue of export licences for certain beef and veal that will be exported to the United States of America ; whereas the amount of this beef and veal must be limited to 5 000 tonnes in 1981;
Whereas applications for licences lodged during the month of December 1980 exceed the quantity available ; whereas it is, therefore, necessary to fix a percentage reduction in the quantities for which licence applications have been lodged;
Whereas no further quantities are available for 1981 ; whereas no further applications for licences may be lodged and the applications lodged in January 1981 must be rejected,
