COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1112/2008
of 10 November 2008
amending Regulation (EC) No 1731/2006 on special detailed rules for the application of export refunds in the case of certain preserved beef and veal products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 170 in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1731/2006 (2) provides for the necessary measures and conditions to guarantee that the preserved products eligible for export refunds are produced solely from beef and veal, and that the meat is of Community origin.
(2) The constraints imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1731/2006 as regards the presentation of the meat to the customs authorities have proved to create practical and unnecessary problems to the concerned operators. Moreover the constraints imposed by the Regulation as regards the fulfilment of export formalities complicate the tasks of customs authorities in those Member States where electronic customs systems are already applied.
(3) To make the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1731/2006 easier, the conditions relating to the presentation of the meat to the customs authorities and the export formalities therein should thus be simplified whilst ensuring the effectiveness and transparency of the control by the customs authorities.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 1731/2006 should therefore be amended.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
