COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2216/87
of 24 July 1987
on the sale by the procedure laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 2539/84 of beef held by certain intervention agencies and intended for export, amending Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76 and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 1432/87
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 467/87 (2), and in particular Article 7 (3) thereof,
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) has provided for the possibility of applying a two-stage procedure when selling beef from intervention stocks;
Whereas certain intervention agencies hold substantial stocks of boned intervention meat; whereas an extension of the period of storage for the meat bought in should be avoided on account of the ensuing high costs; whereas outlets exist in certain third countries for the products in question and it is appropriate therefore to offer this meat for sale in accordance with Commission Regulations (EEC) No 2539/84 and (EEC) No 2824/85 (4);
Whereas it is necessary to lay down a time limit for export of the said meat; whereas this time limit should be fixed in taking into account Article 5 (b) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 of 4 September 1980 on special detailed rules for the application for the system of import and export licences in the beef and veal sector (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 520/87 (6);
Whereas the export of meat sold under this Regulation must be guaranteed by the lodging of a security, the amount of which may differ from that provided for in Article 15 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79 (7); whereas such security shall be released when proof, as required by Article 13 (4) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76 (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1432/87 (9), has been furnished within the time limit laid down in Article 31 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2730/79 (10), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1180/87 (11);
Whereas it is appropriate to specify that, in view of the prices which have been fixed in the context of this sale in order to permit the disposal of certain cuts, exports of such cuts should not be eligible for the refunds periodically fixed in the beef and veal sector; whereas, for the same reason, footnote (7) to Part 3 of Annex I to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1956/87 of 3 July 1987 fixing the monetary compensatory amounts applicable in the agricultural sector and certain coefficients and rates required for their application (12) should be applied;
Whereas Article 2 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3155/85 of 11 November 1985 providing for the advance fixing of monetary compensatory amounts (13), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1002/86 (14) stipulates that monetary compensatory amounts may be fixed in advance only if the export refund is fixed in advance; whereas the absence of refunds for the meat in question means that this requirement cannot be met; whereas for the sake of impartiality it should in this instance be suspended so that advance fixing of the monetary compensatory amounts can be permitted;
Whereas products held by intervention agencies and intended for export are subject to the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76; whereas, however, Annex I of the said Regulation setting out the entries to be made in control copies should be expanded;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1432/87 should be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
