(a)it has available the necessary technical equipment to take over the products;

(b)it is able to remove quantities in order to comply with the removal period indicated in Article 37(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1240;

3.In the case of the beef sector, the storage places shall permit:

(a)storage of carcasses, half carcasses and carcasses cut into quarters taken over and deboned;

(b)freezing of all deboned meat to be stored without further processing.

When the cutting plant and refrigeration plant of a storage place are connected with the slaughterhouse or the operator, the paying agency shall carry out the appropriate checks in order to ensure that beef subject to intervention is handled and stored in accordance with this Regulation.

The cold stores located in the Member State exercising jurisdiction over the paying agency shall be capable of holding all beef allocated by the paying agency for at least three months under technically satisfactory conditions.

However, where there is insufficient cold storage capacity in a Member State for the allocated beef, the paying agency concerned may arrange for such beef to be stored in another Member State and notify the Commission accordingly.
