After taking over the carcases, the Member State concerned can, amongst other things, eliminate the products. In case of elimination, Article 7 of that Regulation stipulates that the competent authority has to take all necessary measures to ensure that all the meat concerned is processed through rendering and that the products subsequently obtained cannot be used for food or feed purposes. Since March 2002 no further purchases were made under this special market support measure.\n(2)\nExperience shows that for purchases under this scheme, in ultra-peripheral regions with difficult accessibility and with a complete lack of rendering facilities within a reasonable distance, it is impossible to eliminate the carcases in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 690/2001. Carcases purchased under Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 in ultra-peripheral regions were buried in 2001 and 2002. The burial happened in accordance with the relevant veterinary and environmental standards and was in accordance with the objective of elimination as set out in Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 690/2001.\n(3)\nIn view of the special conditions obtaining in the ultra-peripheral areas, Regulation (EC) No 690/2001 should be amended to allow for other forms of elimination of the carcases purchased under the scheme than processing through rendering.\n(4)\nIt is furthermore appropriate, for the exceptional reasons set out above, to sanction the past instances of burial in ultra-peripheral regions compliant with the relevant veterinary and environmental standards. To this effect the amendment of the Regulation has to apply retroactively as of 1 July 2001.\n(5)\nRegulation (EC) No 690/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(6)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
