COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 945/83
of 21 April 1983
amending for the second time Regulation (EEC) No 1575/80 laying down provisions for the implementation of Article 13 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1430/79 on the repayment or remission of import or export duties
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1430/79 of 2 July 1979 on the repayment or remission of import or export duties (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1672/82 (2), and in particular Article 25 (2) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1575/80 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2640/82 (4), provides that the Commission must take a decision in respect of a case referred to it under Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1430/79 within three months of the date of receipt of the application;
Whereas experience since the entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 1575/80 has shown that the period of three months within which a decision must be taken may give rise to serious difficulties in particularly complex cases;
Whereas the existing period should be extended; whereas in order to maintain a balance between the interests of the administration and those of the persons concerned, a limit should, however, be set to such extension by increasing the period to four months;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements,
