Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2539/84 of 5 September 1984 laying down detailed rules for certain sales of frozen beef held by the intervention agencies (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1809/87 (4), has provided for the possibility of applying a two-stage procedure when selling beef from intervention stocks; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2824/85 of 9 October 1985 laying down detailed rules for the sale of frozen boned beef from intervention stocks for export either in the same state or after cutting and/or repacking (5) provided for repackaging under certain conditions;

Whereas it is necessary to lay down a time limit for export of the said meat; whereas this time limit should be fixed by taking into account Article 5 (b) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 of 4 September 1980 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences in the beef and veal sector (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 815/91 (7);
Whereas in order to ensure that beef sold is exported to the intended destination, the lodging of a security, as specified in Article 5 (2) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2539/84, should be required;
Whereas it is appropriate to specify that, in view of the prices which have been fixed in the context of this sale, exports should not be eligible for the refunds periodically fixed in the beef and veal sector;
Whereas products held by intervention agencies and intended for export are subject to the provision of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 569/88 (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 397/92 (9); whereas the Annex to the said Regulation setting out the entries to be made should be expanded;
