As of 1 January 2007, those licenses could no longer be used for such trade.\n(2)\nCertain licenses which are still valid after 1 January 2007 have not been used at all or have been used only partially. Commitments entered into in connection with those licenses must be fulfilled failing which the security lodged would be forfeited. Given that such commitments can no longer be fulfilled after the accession of Bulgaria and Romania, it appears necessary to lay down, with effect from the date of accession of those two countries, a transitory measure providing for the release of the securities lodged.\n(3)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the all the Management Committees concerned,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
