THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

,
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 the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 7 (3) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2539/84 of 5 September 1984 laying down detailed rules for certain sales of frozen beef held by the intervention agencies (2) has provided for the possibility of applying a two-stage procedure when selling beef from intervention stocks;
Whereas the Danish and Irish intervention agencies are holding certain stocks of beef bought in 1983; whereas an extension of the period of storage for the meat should be avoided on account of the ensuing high costs; whereas, in consequence, it is advisable to make use of the selling procedure laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2539/84;
Whereas it is necessary to lay down a time limit for export of the said meat; whereas this time limit should be fixed in taking into account Article 5 (b) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 of 4 September 1980 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences in the beef and veal sector (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 552/85 (4);
Whereas the export of meat sold under this Regulation must be guaranteed by the lodging of a security, the amount of which may differ from that provided for in Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79; whereas such security shall be released when proof, as required by Article 12 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1226/85 (6), has been furnished within the time limit laid down in Article 31 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2730/79 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 568/85 (8);
Whereas products held by intervention agencies and intended for export are subject to the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76; whereas, however, Annex I of the said Regulation setting out the entries to be made in control copies should be expanded;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 371/85 (9) should be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
