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 Regulation (EEC) No 125/93 (2), and in particular Article 7 (3) thereof,

Whereas certain intervention agencies hold substantial stocks of beef bought into intervention; whereas an extension of the storage period for that beef should be avoided on account of the ensuing high costs;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1912/92 of 10 July 1992 laying down detailed implementing rules for the specific measures for supplying the Canary Islands with products from the beef and veal sector (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 535/93 (4), lays down the forecast supply balance for frozen meat of bovine animals for the period 1 July 1992 to 30 June 1993; whereas, in the light of traditional trade patterns, it is appropriate to release intervention beef for the purpose of supplying the Canary Islands during that period;

Whereas for the purpose of purchase and control procedures, it is appropriate to apply certain provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2173/79 of 4 October 1979 on detailed rules of application for the disposal of beef bought in by intervention agencies and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 216/69 (9), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1809/87 (10), and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3002/92 of 16 October 1992 laying down common detailed rules for verifying the use and/or destination of products from intervention (11), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 75/93 (12);

Whereas it is necessary to provide for the lodging of a security to guarantee that the beef arrives at the intended destination;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2326/92 (13), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2556/92 (14), should be repealed;
