COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 189/91  of 25 January 1991  laying down special measures derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87 in the beef and veal sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
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 Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90 (2), and in particular Article 18 (6) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2026/83 (4), lays down general rules for the advance payment of export refunds on agricultural products;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1615/90 (6), lays down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products;
Whereas under Council Regulation (EEC) No 2340/90 (7), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3155/90 (8), measures were adopted preventing trade by the Community as regards Iraq and Kuwait; whereas, moreover, the health measures taken by the authorities of  certain third countries, following the appearance of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), vis-a-vis Community exports of beef and veal had serious economic consequences for Community exporters; whereas as a consequence export opportunities were  seriously affected under the conditions laid down by Regulations (EEC) No 565/80 and (EEC) No 3665/87;
Whereas it has proved necessary accordingly to mitigate those prejudicial effects by adopting special measures to extend certain time limits laid down by the rules applicable to refunds; whereas such measures must be limited, in particular with regard  to their duration, to that which is strictly necessary for the regularisation of export operations which could not be carried out as a result of the circumstances described;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
