COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 910/91 of 11 April 1991 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 to Brazil and amending Regulation (EEC) No 569/88

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No No of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3577/90 (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), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1809/87 (4), provides 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) provides for repackaging under certain conditions;

Whereas certain intervention agencies hold large stocks of 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, in view of the supply needs in Brazil, part of that meat should be put up for sale in accordance with Regulations (EEC) No 2539/84 and (EEC) No 2824/85 in order to be imported into that country;

Whereas, owing to Brazil's relatively limited port capacity, the time limit for taking over from intervention stocks should be extended by one month; whereas, in view of the urgency and the specific nature of the operation and of the need for controls, special detailed rules must be laid down in particular as regards the minimum quantity which may be purchased;

Whereas quarters from intervention stocks may in certain cases have been handled a number of times; whereas, in order to help with the presentation and marketing of such meat, its repackaging should be authorized, subject to the observance of precise conditions;

Whereas it is necessary to lay down a time limit for export of the said meat; whereas this time limit should be fixed 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 625/91 (7);

Whereas, in order to ensure that beef sold is exported to the intended destination, the lodging of security, as specified in Article 5 (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2539/84, should be required; whereas the release of that security must be subject to presentation of written evidence that the meat in question has been taken over on-the-spot by 'Compania Nacional de Apastecimento (CNA)' acting on behalf of the Brazilian Government;

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 879/91 (9); whereas the Annex to the said Regulation setting out the entries to be made should be expanded;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,
