COMMISSION REGULATION (EC)  No 2001/95 of 16 August 1995 concerning derogations in the pigmeat sector from Regulation (EEC) No  3665/87 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on  agricultural products and from Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 laying down common detailed rules for  the application of the system of import and export licences and advance-fixing certificates for  agricultural products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 of 22 December 1994 on the adjustments and  transitional arrangements required in the agriculture sector in order to implement the agreements  concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations  (1), and in particular  Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization  of the market in pigmeat  (2), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 3290/94, and in  particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas, in order to guarantee that a distinction is made between quantities exported before and  quantities exported on or after the date of entry into force of the Uruguay Round Agricultural  Agreement, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1521/94  (3), lays down that the period of validity of  export licences issued under the arrangements in force before 8 May 1995 is limited to 30 June 1995  and that products covered by one of the systems referred to in Articles 4 and 5 of Council  Regulation (EEC) No 565/80  (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2026/83  (5), must be the  subject of the export declaration;
Whereas it has transpired that a large number of operators have faced marketing difficulties for  certain pigmeat products coming in particular from the private storage aid scheme provided for by  Commission Regulation (EC) No 231/95  (6) and are therefore not able, despite their efforts, to  comply with the time limit of 60 days from the date of acceptance of the export declaration within  which the products must leave the customs territory of the Community, which is laid down in Article  4 and Article 32 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87  (7), as last amended by Regulation  (EC) No 1384/95  (8) and Article 30 (1) (b) (i) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88  (9), as  last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1199/95  (10); whereas provision should therefore be made,  because of the exceptional circumstances affecting these products, for derogating from this time  limit which should be increased to 90 days while restricting this derogation to products for which  the export declaration was accepted on 30 June 1995 at the latest;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Management Committee for Pigmeat,
By way of derogation from Article 30 (1) (b) (i) of Regulation (EEC)  No 3719/88 and Article 4 and Article 32 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87, the time limit of 60  days shall be increased to 90 days for pigmeat covered by Code ex 0203 of the nomenclature of  agricultural products for export refunds for which the export declaration was accepted on 1 January  1995 at the earliest and on 30 June 1995 at the latest.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official  Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all  Member States.
