COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 1700/84
of 18 June 1984
laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of certificates of advance fixing of refunds in the pigmeat sector
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in the pigmeat sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2966/80 (2), and in particular Articles 15 (6) and 22 thereof,
Whereas Article 5 (3) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2768/75 of 29 October 1975 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on pigmeat and criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (3) provides that the refund may, at the request of the party concerned, be fixed in advance;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 232/83 (4) laid down the list of pigmeat products eligible for the advance fixing of export refunds;
Whereas the special detailed rules for the application of the system of certificates of advance fixing of refunds in the pigmeat sector were laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 858/78 (5); whereas for the sake of clarity and administrative efficiency the said provisions should be adapted in harmony with those applicable in other sectors and form the subject matter of a new Regulation; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 858/78 should therefore be repealed;
Whereas, in particular, in the light of experience gained, advance fixing certificates should be issued only after a period of reflection; whereas the said period should make it possible to assess the state of the market and, if necessary, take special measures particularly with respect to applications pending; whereas for the sake of administrative efficiency the application of this rule should be limited to products of major importance to trade;
Whereas the measures provided for are complementary to those of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3183/80 of 3 December 1980 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2666/82 (7);
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
