Whereas certain intervention agencies have large stocks of beef; whereas there are outlets in certain third countries for the products concerned;
Whereas the meat should be offered for sale by means of a tendering procedure held at regular intervals; whereas, in order to ensure the destination of the products to the specified third countries, it is appropriate to foresee a guarantee to which provisions of Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 985/81 (3) will apply, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1809/87 (4);
Whereas, in view of certain special features of the sale and in particular for the purposes of control, the minimum tendering quantity should be set fairly high;

Whereas products held by intervention agencies and intended for export are subject to the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 569/88 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2293/88 (6); whereas, however, the Annex to the said Regulation setting out the entries to be made should be expanded;
Whereas the destination of important quantities of meat to the sale in question makes it appropriate to end the sales foreseen by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2670/85 (7) and (EEC) No 1812/86 (8); and to repeal the said Regulations;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
