THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Council Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary inspection problems upon importation of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and swine, fresh meat or meat products from third countries (1), as last amended by Directive 97/79/EC (2), and in particular Articles 21(a) and 22 thereof,
Whereas Commission Decision 97/222/EC (3), as amended by Decision 98/246/EC (4), lays down the list of third countries from which the Member States authorise the importation of meat products;
Whereas the animal health conditions and veterinary certification for imports of domestic animals of the bovine and porcine species from certain European countries were established by Commission Decision 98/372/EC (5), as last amended by Decision 98/505/EC (6);
Whereas due to classical swine fever persistence in the feral pig population some restrictions are established for imports of live pigs from some parts of the Czech Republic;
Whereas the same regionalisation should be applicable to imports of wild swine meat products from the Czech Republic;
Whereas health restrictions were applied by the European Community to some zones of Croatia due to certain problems concerning the veterinary controls in those parts; whereas following a recent Community veterinary mission, it appears that the Croatian veterinary services control satisfactorily the whole country;
Whereas, as a result, it is appropriate to make possible the importation of meat products from the whole of Croatia;
Whereas the control of animal health diseases in Zimbabwe is satisfactory; whereas therefore, it is appropriate to make possible the importation from Zimbabwe of meat products heat treated at a minimum temperature of 80 °C which must be reached throughout the meat during the process;
Whereas the Tunisian veterinary authorities have provided satisfactory guarantees to make possible imports from Tunisia of meat products heat treated at a minimum temperature of 80 °C which must be reached throughout the meat during the process;
Whereas Decision 97/222/EC must be amended accordingly;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Veterinary Committee,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 689/92 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1941/92 (4), fixes the conditions for the acceptance of cereals into intervention;

Whereas:
(1)
Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2)
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice (2) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3)
That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of ‘cereal products’, namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for ‘other cereals’, these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.

Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5)
The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.
(6)
The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1

Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 26 August 2005.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
