Article 4 U.K. Entry into storage

1. Operators with the authorisation referred to in Article 3(1) shall submit to the customs authority a declaration of entry into storage stating their intention to place fresh or chilled boned meat of adult male bovine animals under the customs warehousing procedure pending its exportation. That declaration may only be submitted in the Member State in which the boning operation was carried out.

The declaration shall include a description of the products in accordance with the export refund nomenclature code for meat to be placed under that regime, their net weight and all data required for the precise identification of the meat and the locations in which it is to be stored until it is exported.

It shall be accompanied by the boned meat certificate(s) and copy No 1 of the export licence currently valid which, by way of derogation from 24(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, shall be presented to the customs authority together with that declaration of entry into storage.

2. A maximum of two declarations of entry into storage under customs supervision may be accepted for each boning operation. A declaration of entry into storage may refer to a maximum of two boned meat certificates.

3. The date of acceptance of the declaration of entry into storage, the number of the boned meat certificate(s) accompanying boned meat of adult male bovine animals on entry into the customs warehousing procedure, the number of boxes per type of cut, the identification details and the weight of such meat shall be entered in the declaration of entry into storage.

The information referred to in the first subparagraph shall be entered in such a way that a clear link can be established between the different meats entered into storage and the corresponding certificates.

The date of acceptance of the declaration of entry into storage, the weight of the meat and the number of the declaration of entry into storage shall be immediately entered in boxes 10 and 11 of the boned meat certificate.

4. The declarations of entry into storage shall be sent through administrative channels to the body responsible for paying the export refund. The same shall apply for boned meat certificates for which all quantities available have been attributed.

5. After attribution and endorsement by the customs authority, copy No 1 of the licence shall be returned to the operator.

6. By derogation from Article 31(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, in the case of boned meat of adult male bovine animals placed under the customs warehousing procedure prior to export, the obligation to export shall be considered to have been fulfilled and the right to export under the licence or certificate shall be considered to have been exercised on the day when the declaration of entry into storage is accepted. The primary requirement shall be considered to have been fulfilled when proof of acceptance of the declaration of entry into storage is provided. For the provision of proof, Articles 33 and 35 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 shall apply mutatis mutandis as required.

7. The date of acceptance of the declaration of entry into storage shall determine the type, quantity and characteristics of the products selected for payment of the refund in accordance with Article 10.

8. Boned meat of adult male bovine animals for which a declaration of entry into storage is accepted shall be subject to a physical check relating to a representative selection of at least 5 % of accepted declarations of entry into storage.

Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 386/90(1) and Article 2(2), Articles 3, 4, 5 and 6, Article 8(1) and (2), the first subparagraph of Article 11 and Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2090/2002(2) shall apply mutatis mutandis.

By derogation from the first subparagraph, the physical check may cover a smaller percentage of declarations of entry into storage accepted, but not less than 2 %, where the customs authority uses a risk analysis taking account of the criteria provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 3122/94(3).
