COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3463/85

of 9 December 1985

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2329/85 laying down detailed rules for the application of the special measures for soya beans

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1491/85 of 23 May 1985 laying down special measures in respect of soya beans (1), and in particular Article 2 (8) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2194/85 of 25 July 1985 adopting general rules concerning special measures for soya beans (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Whereas Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2194/85 provides that where the first purchaser is a person other than the processor, he must deliver or sell to a processor the soya beans in respect of which an application for aid has been lodged; whereas, for the 1985/86 marketing year certain first purchasers have undertaken to deliver or sell the products to an intermediary who delivers or sells to a processor; whereas the intervention of the said intermediary during the marketing year in question should be permitted and the conditions governing such intervention defined;

Whereas Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2194/85 and Article 12 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2329/85 (3) provide for the granting of the aid and the release of a security when the soya beans are processed, delivered or sold within six months following the lodging of the application for aid; whereas experience shows that, in certain cases, compliance with this time limit raises difficulties; whereas the said period should therefore be extended;

Whereas detailed rules should be laid down governing intra-Community trade in soya beans produced in the Community; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 223/77 of 22 December 1976 on provisions for the implementation of the Community transit procedure and for certain simplifications of that procedure (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1209/85 (5), defined the procedures and documents which are compatible with the control of the products in question; whereas the use of such procedures and documents should be more clearly defined; whereas sufficient time should be allowed for the implementation of these measures;

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