(2002/274/EC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 300(2) thereof,
Having regard to the internal agreement on measures to be taken and procedures to be followed for the implementation of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement(1), as put into provisional application by the decision of the representatives of the Governments of the Member States of 18 September 2000, and, in particular, Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) The Government of Liberia has acted on a number of occasions in ways that amount to a failure to fulfil its obligations stemming from the essential elements of Article 9 of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement. It has also acted in violation of good governance requirements as serious cases of corruption can be identified.
(2) Consultations under Articles 96 and 97 of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement were held on 9 November 2001 with Liberia, at which the Liberian authorities explained their point of view and made specific commitments particularly as regards the human rights situation, democratic principles, the rule of law and good governance.
(3) Some positive steps have recently been taken to meet these commitments. Nevertheless, more substantial action to address all the commitments and to uphold the situation in a sustainable manner still needs to be undertaken,
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
Article 1
Consultations with Liberia under Articles 96 and 97 of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement are hereby concluded.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1365/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(12) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 of 17 December 1987 establishing an agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2556/2001(4), establishes a nomenclature of agricultural products for export refunds based on the Combined Nomenclature.
(2) Application of the current export nomenclature for products falling within CN codes 1602 41 10 and 1602 42 10 weighing less than one kilogram may result in operators being treated unequally when refunds are paid. Those CN codes should therefore be subdivided on the basis of the weight of the products concerned and a new subheading should be introduced for CN code 1602 49 19, so that the headings can be grouped in the same category in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1370/95 of 16 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for implementing the system of export licences in the pigmeat sector(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2898/2000(6), and equal treatment ensured for all operators when the refund is paid.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 164(2), final subparagraph, and Article 170 thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Article 162(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Part XVII of Annex I to that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(2)
Given the present situation on the market in pigmeat, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and criteria provided for in Articles 162 to 164, 167, 169 and 170 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
(3)
Article 164(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the refund may vary according to destination, especially where the world market situation, the specific requirements of certain markets, or obligations resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty make this necessary.
(4)
Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Community and that bear the health mark as provided for in Article 5(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (2). Those products must also satisfy the requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (3) and Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (4).

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. Export refunds as provided for in Article 164 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the condition provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article.

fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs

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), 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(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.
(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
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
