correcting Regulation (EC) No 664/2005 fixing the export refunds on products processed from cereals and rice
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

(2)
Article 4(3) of Protocol No 2 to the Agreement states that, in the case of sugar (harmonised system codes 1701, 1702 and 1703) used in the manufacture of the products listed in Tables I and II of that Protocol, the Contracting Parties may not grant any export refunds or any refund, remission or non-payment, partial or complete, of customs duties or charges having an equivalent effect.
