Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3446/90 of 27 November 1990 laying down detailed rules for granting private storage aid for sheepmeat and goatmeat (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3533/93 (4), lays down in particular detailed rules where the amount of aid is fixed at a flat rate in advance;

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1482/96 of 26 July 1996 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 on detailed rules for determining and applying in the agricultural conversion rates
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 of 28 December 1992 on the unit of account and the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the common agricultural policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 150/95 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,
Whereas Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 provides the possibility of derogation from that Regulation's provisions where urgent decisions are required in the event of a risk of failure to respect obligations under the GATT Agreement and budgetary discipline;
Whereas Article 8 (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2853/94 (4), specifies cases of appreciable revaluation as those where there is a risk of an appreciable reduction in the agricultural conversion rate; whereas an appreciable reduction in an agricultural conversion rate is defined at point (e) of Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92;
Whereas cases may arise where the terms of this definition are not met but which, owing to the short-term budget impact of application of Articles 7 and 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 and the need to respect obligations under the GATT Agreement, should be defined as appreciable revaluations for the purposes of Article 9 thereof;
Whereas the definition given in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 should therefore be adjusted accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the relevant management committees,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 188/2008
of 28 February 2008
fixing the rates of refunds applicable to certain products from the sugar sector exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I 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 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the market in the sugar sector (1), and in particular Article 33(2)(a) and (4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 32(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the differences between the prices in international trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(b), (c), (d) and (g) of that Regulation and prices within the Community may be covered by an export refund where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex VII to that Regulation.
(2)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2), specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(3)
In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in question is to be fixed each month.
(4)
Article 32(4) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 lays down that the export refund for a product contained in goods may not exceed the refund applicable to that product when exported without further processing.
(5)
The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in advance as the market situation over the next few months cannot be established at the moment.
(6)
The commitments entered into with regard to refunds which may be granted for the export of agricultural products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary to take precautionary measures in such situations without, however, preventing the conclusion of long-term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables these various objectives to be met.

Article 1
The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 and in Article 1(1) and in point (1) of Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, and exported in the form of goods listed in Annex VII to Regulation (EC) No 318/2006, shall be fixed as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
