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.

A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.

(5)
The current situation on the cereals market and, in particular, the supply prospects mean that the export refunds should be abolished.
