COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1187/2009

of 27 November 2009

laying down special detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 as regards export licences and export refunds for milk and milk products

(recast)







THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, 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 Articles 161(3), 170 and 171(1) in conjunction with Article 4 thereof, Whereas: (1) Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 lays down, amongst others, general rules for granting export refunds in the milk and milk products sector, in order, in particular, to permit the monitoring of the value and quantity limits for refunds. Detailed rules for the application of those general rules have been laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 of 17 august 2006 laying down special detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards export licences and export refunds for milk and milk products ( 2 ). (2) Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 has been substantially amended several times ( 3 ). Since further amendments are to be made, it should be recast in the interest of clarity. (3) Under the Agriculture Agreement ( 4 ) concluded during the Uruguay Round of the GATT trade negotiations and approved by Council Decision 94/800/EC ( 5 ) (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Agriculture Agreement’), export refunds on agricultural products, including milk products, are limited within each 12-month period starting from 1 July 1995 to a maximum quantity and a maximum value. In order to ensure compliance with those limits, the issue of export licences should be monitored and procedures should be adopted for allocating the quantities which may be exported with a refund. (4) For a refund to be granted the products should meet the relevant requirements of Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs ( 6 ) and 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 ( 7 ), notably preparation in an approved establishment and compliance with the identification marking requirements specified in Section I of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 853/2004. (5) In order to ensure effective controls on limits, there should be no refunds paid on quantities exceeding what is indicated on the licence. (6) The term of validity of export licences should be fixed. (7) In order to ensure accurate checking of the products exported and to minimise the risk of speculation, the possibility of changing the product for which a licence has been issued should be restricted. (8) Article 4(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 612/2009 of 7 July 2009 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products ( 8 ) lays down rules for the use of export licences with advance fixing of the refund for the exportation of products with a 12-digit code other than that shown in section 16 of the licence. That provision is applicable in a specific sector only if product categories as referred to in Article 13 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 of 23 April 2008 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products ( 9 ) and product groups as referred to in the second indent of the first subparagraph of Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 612/2009 have been defined. (9) For the milk and milk products sector, product categories are already defined with reference to the categories provided for in the Agriculture Agreement. In the interest of sound management this use of categories should be retained. With a view to simplification and completeness, the product groups as referred to in the second indent of the first subparagraph of Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 612/2009 should be replaced and based on the Combined Nomenclature codes. If the product actually exported is different from the product shown in box 16 of the licence, the general provisions of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 612/2009 should apply. To avoid discriminations between operators exporting under the current regime and those exporting under this Regulation, that provision may be applied retroactively at the request of the licence holder. (10) To enable operators to participate in invitations to tender opened by third countries without affecting the restrictions as regards volume, a system of provisional licences should be introduced giving successful tenderers the right to a full licence. To ensure that such licences are correctly used, for certain exports with refunds the country of destination should be defined as compulsory. (11) In order to ensure effective monitoring of licences issued, which depends on the notification of information to the Commission by the Member States, a waiting time should be provided for before licences are issued. In order to ensure the smooth operation of the arrangements, and in particular an equitable allocation of the quantities available within the limits laid down by the Agriculture Agreement, various management measures should be laid down and, in particular, provision should be made for the issue of licences to be suspended and for an allocation coefficient to be applied to the quantities applied for, if necessary. (12) Exports of the products in the context of food-aid operations should be excluded from certain provisions in regard to issuing of export licences. (13) The method for fixing the refund on milk products containing added sugar, the price of which is determined by the price of the ingredients, should be laid down according to the percentage of the ingredients contained therein. However, to facilitate the management of refunds for these products, and particularly measures to ensure compliance with commitments regarding exports in the context of the Agriculture Agreement, a maximum quantity should be fixed for sucrose incorporated for which a refund may be granted. Forty-three percent by weight of whole product should be considered as representative of the sucrose content of such products. (14) Article 12(5)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 612/2009 provides that refunds may be granted for ingredients of Community origin in processed cheese manufactured under the inward processing arrangements. Certain special rules are needed to ensure that this specific measure operates properly and can be effectively checked. (15) Under the Agreement concluded between the European Community and Canada ( 10 ), approved by Council Decision 95/591/EC ( 11 ), export licences issued by the Community are to be presented for cheese qualifying for preferential terms on import into Canada. The detailed rules for issuing such licences should be laid down. (16) The Community has the option of designating which importers may import Community cheese into the United States under the additional quota arising from the Agriculture Agreement. To allow the Community to maximise the value of the quota, a procedure should therefore be laid down for designating importers on the basis of the allocation of export licences for the products concerned. (17) The Economic Partnership Agreement between the Cariforum States, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part ( 12 ), the signature and provisional application of which have been approved by Council Decision 2008/805/EC ( 13 ) provides for the Community to manage its share of the tariff quota according to a mechanism of export licences. The procedure for awarding licences should therefore be determined. In order to ensure that products imported into the Dominican Republic are part of the quota and to establish a link between the products imported and those indicated on the export licence, exporters should present, at the time of import, a certified copy of the export declaration, which must contain certain information. (18) In respect of that quota, Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 provides for the eligibility criteria applicable to lodge licence applications under the two parts of the quota. Applications under part (b) of the quota can be lodged for a fixed quantity, independent of the trade performance. The number of applicants under part (a) of the quota is increasing steadily and the quantity for which applications may be lodged depends on the export performance in the past years. Given the oversupply of milk powder on the world market in the past years, the quantity imported by the Dominican Republic originating in the Community has decreased, resulting in low performance quantities for which applications can be lodged under part (a). It is therefore appropriate to allow the eligible applicants under part (a) to opt for part (b). However, applications under both parts of the quota should be excluded. (19) In order to maximise the use of the quota and to alleviate the administrative burden on exporters, the derogation allowing to use the export licence also for a product covered by a 12-digit product code other than that indicated in box 16 of the licence if the same amount of export refund is granted to both products and if both products belong to the same product category, or if both products belong to the same product group, should also apply to exports to the Dominican Republic. (20) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets, Whereas: HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 10

▼M1

1. Export licences with advanced fixing of the refund shall be issued on the fifth working day following the day on which applications are submitted, provided that the quantities for which licences have been applied for have been notified in accordance with Article 6(1) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 479/2010 ( 16 ) and that measures referred to in points (a) and (b) of paragraph 2 of this Article have not been adopted.

▼B

2. Where the issue of export licences would or might result in the available budgetary amounts being exceeded or in the maximum quantities which may be exported with a refund being exhausted during the 12-month period in question or in a shorter period to be determined pursuant to Article 11 of this Regulation, taking into account Article 169 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, or would not allow exports to continue during the remainder of the period, the Commission may, without assistance of the Committee referred to in Article 195(1) of that Regulation:

(a) apply an allocation coefficient to the quantities applied for;

(b) reject all or part of pending applications for which export licences have not yet been issued;

(c) suspend the lodging of licence applications for a maximum of five working days; the suspension may be further extended in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 195(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

Where the coefficient referred to in point (a) of the first subparagraph is less than 0,4, applicants may, within three working days of publication of the decision fixing the coefficient, request the cancellation of their licence application and the release of their security.

In the case referred to in point (c) of the first subparagraph, licence applications submitted during the suspension period shall be invalid.

The measures referred to in the first subparagraph may be implemented or modulated by category of product and by destination or group of destinations.

For the purposes of the first subparagraph, account shall be taken, as regards the product in question, of the seasonal nature of trade, the market situation, and in particular the trend in prices on the market and the export conditions resulting there from.

3. The measures referred to in paragraph 2 may also be adopted where export licence applications relate to quantities which exceed or might exceed the normal available quantities for one destination or group of destinations and issuing the licences requested would entail a risk of speculation, distortion of competition between operators, or disturbance of the trade concerned or the Community market.

4. If applications for licences are rejected or quantities applied for are reduced, the security shall be immediately released for all quantities for which applications have not been accepted.

Article 11

Where the total quantity covered by the licence applications submitted is such that there is a risk of early exhaustion of the maximum quantities which may be exported with refund during the 12-month period in question, it may be decided, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 195(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, to allocate those maximum quantities over periods to be determined.

Article 12

Where the quantity exported exceeds that shown on the licence, no refund shall be payable on the overrun.

To that end, section 22 of licences shall contain the words: ‘Payment of the refund restricted to the quantity shown in sections 17 and 18’.

Article 13

Article 10 shall not apply to the issuing of export licences for food-aid supplies as referred to in Article 10(4) of the Agriculture Agreement.

Article 14

1. For milk products containing added sugar, the refund shall be equal to the sum of the following components:

(a) a component representing the quantity of milk product;

(b) a component representing the quantity of added sucrose, up to a maximum of 43 % by weight of whole product.

2. The component referred to in paragraph 1(a) shall be calculated by multiplying the fixed amount of the refund by the percentage of milk product content of the whole product.

3. The component referred to in paragraph 1(b) shall be calculated by multiplying the sucrose content of the whole product, up to a maximum of 43 %, by the basic amount of the refund applicable on the day the licence application is submitted for the products listed in point (c) of Part III of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

Article 15

1. Export licence applications for milk and milk products exported in the form of products falling within CN code 0406 30 as referred to in Article 12(5)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 612/2009 shall be accompanied by a copy of the authorisation to use the relevant customs procedure.

2. Section 20 of licence applications and licences for exports of milk and milk products referred to in paragraph 1 shall contain a reference to this Article.

3. The Member States shall take the necessary steps under the customs procedure referred to in paragraph 1 to identify and check the quality and quantity of the products referred to in that paragraph for which a refund has been applied for and to apply the provisions on entitlement to the refund.

Article 22

1. Applications for licences shall be lodged with the competent authorities from 1 to 10 September of the year preceding the quota year for which export licences are allocated. All applications shall be lodged at the same time with the competent authority of a single Member State.

The quotas referred to in Article 21 are opened on an annual basis for the period from 1 January to 31 December.

Section 16 of licence applications and licences shall show the eight-digit product code of the Combined Nomenclature. However, the licences shall also be valid for any other code falling under CN code 0406.

2. For each quota identified in column (3) of Annex IIa, each applicant may lodge one or more licence applications provided that the total quantity applied for per quota does not exceed the maximum quantity limits fixed in Article 22a.

For this purpose, where, for the same group of products referred to in column (2) of Annex IIa the available quantity in column (4) is divided between the Uruguay Round quota and the Tokyo Round quota, both quotas have to be considered as two separate quotas.

3. The applications are subject to the lodging of a security in accordance with Article 9.

4. Applicants for export licences shall provide evidence that they have exported the products of the quota in question to the United States in at least one of the preceding three calendar years and that their designated importer is a subsidiary of the applicant.

The proof of trade as referred to in the first subparagraph shall be furnished in accordance with the second paragraph of Article 5 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006 ( 17 ).

5. Applicants for export licences shall indicate in the applications:

The amount resulting from the application of the coefficient shall be rounded down to the nearest kg.

Securities shall be released in whole or in part for rejected applications or for quantities in excess of those allocated.

2. Where the result of applying the allocation coefficient would be to allocate quantities for less than 10 tonnes per quota per applicant, the corresponding quantities available shall be awarded by the Member State concerned by drawing lots by quota. The Member State shall draw lots for 10 tonnes each amongst the applicants who would have been allocated less than 10 tonnes per quota as a result of applying the allocation coefficient.

Quantities of less than 10 tonnes remaining when establishing the lots shall be equally distributed over the 10 tonnes lots before the lots are drawn.

Where the result of applying the allocation coefficient would be to leave a quantity of less than 10 tonnes per quota, that quantity shall be considered as a single lot.

The security for applications which are not successful in the allocation by drawing lots shall be released immediately.

3. Member States concerned by drawing lots shall notify the Commission, within five working days after publication of the allocation coefficients, for each quota, of the quantities allocated by applicant, the product code, the applicant reference number and the designated importer reference number.

Quantities allocated by drawing lots shall be distributed among the individual CN codes in proportion to the quantities of product by CN code applied for.

4. Where applications for export licences for quotas referred to in Article 21 not exceed the quantity available for the year concerned, the Commission shall allocate the remaining quantities to applicants in proportion to the quantities applied for, by fixing an allocation coefficient. The amount resulting from the application of the coefficient shall be rounded down to the nearest kg.

In that case, the operators shall inform the competent authority of the Member States concerned of the supplementary quantity they accept, within a week from the publication of the allocation coefficient. The security lodged shall be increased accordingly.

Article 24

1. The names of the designated importers referred to in Article 22(5)(c) and the quantities allocated shall be communicated by the Commission to the competent authorities of the United States.

2. In case an import licence for the quantities concerned is not allocated to the designated importer, in circumstances which do not cast doubt on the good faith of the operator submitting the declaration referred to in Article 22(6), the operator may be authorised by the Member State to designate another importer, provided that the latter appears on the list communicated to the competent authorities of the United States in accordance with paragraph 1 of this Article.

3. The Member State shall notify the Commission as soon as possible of the change of the designated importer and the Commission shall notify the change to the competent authorities of the United States.

Article 25

1. Export licences shall be issued by 15 December of the year preceding the quota year for the quantities for which the licences are allocated.

The licences shall be valid from 1 January to 31 December of the quota year.

Section 20 of the licences shall contain the following entry:

‘valid from 1 January to 31 December … (year).’

2. Securities for export licences shall be released on presentation of the proof referred to in Article 32(2) of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 together with the transport document referred to in Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC) No 612/2009 mentioning as destination the United States.

3. Licences issued under this Article shall be valid only for the exports of products under quotas referred to in Article 21.

The proof of trade as referred to in the first subparagraph shall be furnished in accordance with the second paragraph of Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1301/2006.

2. The Commission shall decide as quickly as possible to what extent licences for quantities applied for may be granted and shall inform the Member States of its decision.

If all the quantities covered by licence applications for one of the two parts of the quota exceed the quantities referred to in Article 28(1), the Commission shall fix an allocation coefficient. The amount resulting from the application of the coefficient shall be rounded down to the nearest kg.

▼M3

If the application of the allocation coefficient results in a quantity per applicant of less than 20 tonnes, applicants may withdraw their applications. In such cases, they shall notify the competent authority within 3 working days of publication of the Commission’s decision. The security shall be released immediately. The competent authority shall notify the Commission, within 8 working days of publication of the decision, of the quantities broken down by product codes of the Combined Nomenclature, for which applications have been withdrawn and for which the security has been released.
