COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 865/97 of 14 May 1997 fixing an export tax on cereal products
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 organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 923/96 (2), and in particular Article 16 thereof,
Whereas Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 1766/92 provides that where quotations or prices on the world market for certain products reach the level of Community prices and such situation is likely to continue and deteriorate thereby disturbing or threatening to disturb the Community market, appropriate measures may be taken; whereas Article 15 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 95/96 (4), provides that where such conditions are met, an export tax may be fixed and may vary according to the destination;
Whereas prices on the world market for common wheat and durum wheat have reached the level of those in the Community and the trend in those prices is that they will increase; whereas this situation is likely to lead to an excessive export of common wheat, flour of common wheat and spelt and flour of meslin, groats and meal of common wheat and spelt, as well as durum wheat, flour of durum wheat and groats and meal of durum wheat from the Community; whereas it has therefore been decided to apply an export tax to these products at a level which will avoid disturbance to the Community market;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 120/89 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2194/96 (6), and in particular Article 3 thereof, is applicable;
Whereas the Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time-limit set by its Chairman,

Article 1
The export tax referred to in Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 is fixed at the level set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,

Whereas in those circumstances it is appropriate for the European Community to adopt autonomous measures in order to maintain the existing level of reciprocal preferences, pending the conclusion of negotiations;
Whereas the Council has already adopted transitional measures by Regulation (EC) No 1917/95 (2), such measures having been extended by Regulation (EC) No 167/96 (3) to 30 June 1996; whereas these measures should be extended with account being taken, however, of the changes in the Community customs tariff that will apply from 1 July 1996,

2. The Commission may, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 16 of Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 (4), suspend application of the measures provided for in paragraph 1 if Switzerland no longer applies the reciprocal measures in favour of the Community.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
