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 during the operation;

Whereas, in order to ensure a regular and uniform tendering procedure, measures should be taken in addition to those specified in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1759/93;

Whereas, while allowing a taking-over period of three months, provision should be made for the products to leave the Community within five months of the date of conclusion of the contract of sale;

Whereas, in order to ensure that the meat sold is exported to the destination laid down, a security as specified in Article 5 (2) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2539/84 should be required;
