COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3755/86
of 9 December 1986
re-establishing the levying of customs duties applicable to stearic acid, falling within subheading 15.10 A, originating in Malaysia, to which the preferential tariff arrangements set out in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3601/85 apply
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3601/85 of 17 December 1985 applying generalized tariff preferences to certain agricultural products originating in developing countries (1), and in particular Article 33 thereof,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 3601/85, stearic acid, with a tariff subheading of 15.10 A, originating in Malaysia, is permitted to be imported into the Community exempt from duty; whereas, by the terms of Article 32 of the said Regulation, the customs duties applied in the Community can be re-established if the imports of the abovementioned products are made into the Community in such quantities or at such prices that they bring or threaten to bring a serious prejudice against producers in the Community of similar or directly competitive products;
Whereas the preferential imports of stearic acid from Malaysia into the Community have gone from 494 tonnes in 1984 to 2 143 tonnes in 1985 and have reached 2 394 tonnes as at 30 October 1986; the production capacity utilization of the product in question in the Community is about 60 %;
Whereas stearic acid from Malaysia is sold in the Community at a price of less than 30 % of that of Community production, that the low price of the Malaysian product keeps to a system of export taxes practised by that country, by which the basic material (palm oil) is subject to a tax of 25 % while the final product (stearic acid) is exempted from it;
Whereas, by this fact, the Malaysian producers get their materials at a price much lower than that of Community producers for the manufacture of stearic acid;
Whereas this situation carries a serious prejudice against Community producers,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
From 11 December 1986, the levying of customs duties suspended in pursuance of Regulation (EEC) No 3601/85 shall be re-established for the imports into the Community of the following product originating in Malaysia:
1.2 // // // CCT heading No // Description // // // 15.10 A // Stearic acid // //
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1377/2003
of 31 July 2003
fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 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 (EEC) No 1766/92 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(3) 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.
(4) 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
In accordance with the Annex to this Regulation, the export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 shall not be fixed.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 August 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
