COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 758/2006
of 18 May 2006
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 (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 september 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
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.
(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 (EC) No 1784/2003 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 19 May 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(1)
The Council may authorise Member States to apply a reduced rate of VAT to certain labour-intensive services, which must meet the conditions provided for in Directive 2006/112/EC and be included in the list given in Annex IV thereto.
(2)
Directive No 2006/112/EC extended the period of application of the reduced rates of VAT until 31 December 2010. It enables Member States, both those wishing to avail themselves for the first time of the facility provided for, and those wishing to change the list of services to which they have applied the said provision in the past, to submit their request to the Commission.
(3)
This is intended to make it possible for all Member States to take part under the same conditions in the trial of reduced rates for labour-intensive services. It is therefore appropriate to grant the acceding States, from their accession to the European Union, the same possibility of applying a reduced rate of VAT to certain labour-intensive services.
(4)
By letter dated 31 March 2006, Romania submitted a request to apply a reduced rate of VAT to certain labour-intensive services covered by the said trial.
(5)
To ensure equality among the Member States, this Decision should apply from the date of entry into force of the Treaty of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania.
(6)
This Decision will have no impact on the Communities' own resources derived from VAT,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Under Article 55 of the 2005 Act of Accession, read in conjunction with Articles 106 and 108 of Directive 2006/112/EC, Romania is authorised to apply, from the entry into force of the 2005 Treaty of Accession until 31 December 2010, the reduced rates provided for in Article 98 to the following services, referred to in points 1 and 4 of Annex IV to Directive 2006/112/EC:

Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 226/2002(2) fixes the indicative quantities for system B export licences other than those sought in the context of food aid.
