Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1431/82 of 18 May 1982 laying down special measures for peas and field beans (1), and in particular Article 3 (7) thereof,

Whereas Article 20 of Regulation (EEC) No 2192/82 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3322/82 (3), makes provision, for reasons of official administrative management for applications to place products under supervision to carry with them the obligation actually to use the products within 150 days; whereas experience has shown that this period is not adequate; whereas, for the same reasons, in order to remedy the situation, this period should accordingly be extended for all products placed under supervision as from the date of entry into force of Regulation (EEC) No 2192/82;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Dried Fodder,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
