THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1670/2000(2), and in particular Article 26(3) and Article 31(14) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 795/2001(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1342/2001(4), introduced special measures with a view to regularising export operations that it had not been possible to complete on account of the lengthy procedures for issuing animal-health certificates in certain Member States, connected with protective measures adopted under the relevant decisions and certain measures taken by some third countries that give rise to import restrictions.
(2) The animal-health protective measures applied by the authorities of certain third countries with regard to Community exports are still in force and continue adversely to affect the export possibilities to certain destinations.
(3) The impact on Community exporters should be limited by extending the term of validity of the export licences concerned for certain products and certain time limits and by allowing for the cancellation of unused export licences and for the release of the security.
(4) It is appropriate that the new measures enter into force immediately so as to allow the operators to adapt to the new provisions accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
