COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2798/81 of 28 September 1981 amending for the third time Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 on special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences in the beef and veal sector
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 the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 15 (2) and Article 25 thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2378/80 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1727/81 (3), laid down additional special detailed rules concerning the issue of export licences, which were made necessary by the world market situation for agricultural products ; whereas the said detailed rules apply only until 30 September 1981;
Whereas some of the detailed rules have been found to be useful for giving better indications concerning the market, particularly in respect of exports of beef and veal to non-member countries ; whereas they should therefore be retained by including them in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2377/80 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2137/81 (5);
Whereas the Management Committee for Beef and Veal has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
