COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1544/1999

of 14 July 1999

derogation from Regulation (EC) No 1223/94 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of advance-fixing certificates for certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2491/98(2), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 8(3) thereof,

(1) Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1223/94(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1367/1999(4), provides that advance-fixing certificates for cereals exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty are valid until the end of the fith month following that of application;

(2) Whereas the current situation on the maize market makes it desirable to limit the issuing of certificates in order to avoid committing quantities from the new marketing year; whereas certificates to be issued in forthcoming months must be reserved for exports carried out before the end of August 1999; whereas, to that end, the term of validy of advance-fixing certificates to be issued for execution up to 31 August 1999 must be temporarily limited; whereas a temporary derogation should therefore be introduced to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1223/94;

(3) Whereas, in order to ensure sound management of the market and to prevent speculation, provision should be made for customs export formalities for certain certificates for maize exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to be completed by 31 August 1999 at the latest, either as direct exports or as exports under the arrangements laid down in Articles 4 and 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 of 4 March 1980 on the advance payment of export refunds in respect of agricultural products(5), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2026/83(6); whereas such limitation entails a derogation from the provisions of Articles 28(6) and 29(5) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of refunds on agricultural products(7);

(4) Whereas the provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for horizontal questions concerning trade in processed agricultural products not listed in Annex II,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
