COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1683/98 of 29 July 1998 on the sale at prices fixed in advance of beef held by certain intervention agencies

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2634/97 (2), and in particular Article 7(3) thereof,

Whereas the application of intervention measures in respect of beef has created stocks in several Member States; whereas, in order to prevent an excessive prolongation of storage, part of these stocks should be sold;

Whereas subject to certain special exceptions which are necessary, the sale should be made subject to the rules laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2417/95 (4), and in particular Titles I and III thereof;

Whereas, to ensure economic management of stocks, the intervention agencies should give priority to selling the meat which has been stored the longest;

Whereas provision should be made for derogations from Article 2(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79, in view of the administrative difficulties which application of this point creates in the Member States concerned;

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