COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2190/96
of 14 November 1996
on detailed rules for implementing "M5 Council Regulation (EC)
No 2200/96 3as regards export refunds on fruit and vegetables
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972
on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as
last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1363/95 (2), and in
particular Article 26 (11) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 of 22 December
1994 on the adjustments and transitional arrangements required in the
agriculture sector in order to implement the agreements concluded
during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations (3), as
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1193/96 (4), and in particular Article 4
thereof,
Whereas various aspects of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1488/95 of
28 June 1995 on implementing rules for export refunds on fruit and
vegetables (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2702/95 (6),
should be amended in order to improve the system of export refunds on
fruit and vegetables, and to ensure its transparency; whereas, in the
interests of clarity and rationalization, it is appropriate to use the new
amendments as an opportunity to recast the text and repeal the aforesaid
Regulation (EC) No 1488/95;
Whereas Article 26 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 requires the
presentation of an export licence for the grant of any refund;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88 (7), as last amended
by Regulation (EC) No 2137/95 (8), sets out detailed rules for the
application of the system of import and export licences and advance
fixing certificates for agricultural products;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (9), as last amended
by Regulation (EC) No 2123/96 (10), establishes an agricultural product
nomenclature for export refunds;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87 (11), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1384/95 (12), lays down common
detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on
agricultural products; whereas these detailed rules must be supplemented
by specific rules relating to fruit and vegetables;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 26 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72,
refunds are to be set with due regard to the limits resulting from
agreements concluded in accordance with Article 228 of the Treaty;
Whereas the Commission is required to fix the refund rates and the
maximum quantities eligible for refunds; whereas those amounts and
quantities must be fixed per period of allocation of export licences;
whereas they may be revised in the light of economic circumstances;!B

Whereas, to ensure that quantities for export are administered in a proper
manner, time should be allowed for consideration before licences are
issued;
Whereas the Member States should designate the authorities responsible
for issuing licences;
Whereas, in the interests of a proper implementation of the scheme,
provision should be made for a variety of systems for the grant of
refunds;
Whereas the issue of licences with advance fixing of the refund should
be subject also to the lodging of a security;
Whereas, to ensure the smooth operation of the system and to exclude
speculators, licences should be non-transferable;
Whereas Article 26 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 provides, inter
alia, for refunds to be fixed in accordance with the economic aspect of
proposed exports; whereas, to that end, provision should be made for
new arrangements for the issue of licences with advance fixing of the
refund; whereas, before such licences are issued, the Commission should
gather information by asking exporters to indicate the minimum rate they
require in order to be able to export; whereas the Commission can use
this information to make an informed decision on economically viable
refund rates;
Whereas, since Article 26 (7) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 stipulates
that the rate of refund is that applicable on the date of application for the
licence where the refund is fixed in advance, provision should be made
for a procedure whereby licence applications must be submitted during a
period fixed in advance for that purpose on the basis of an indicative
refund rate, after which the Commission will fix, on the basis of the
information transmitted by the Member States, an actual date for licence
applications and a definitive refund rate applicable on that day;
Whereas the Commission must be entitled to reject all applications for
special licences with advance fixing of the refund where necessary;
Whereas the meaning of the date of issue of licences should be defined
by reference to Regulation (EEC) No 3719/88;
Whereas, in order to maintain the flexibility which is characteristic of
exports of fruit and vegetables, being perishable products, provision
should be made for certain transactions to be eligible for a refund
without advance fixing provided that a licence application is submitted a
posteriori ;
Whereas, in order not to discriminate between Community exporters
when licences are being issued without advance fixing of the refund,
account should be taken of the date on which the export declaration is
accepted rather than the date of application for the licence;
Whereas, in order to prevent significant overruns of indicative quantities
in the case of licences without advance fixing of the refund, the
Commission should be able to reject licence applications relating to a
date subsequent to a given export date;
Whereas the destination or group of destinations should be made
compulsory;
Whereas the Member States should regularly forward certain information
on licence applications to the Commission;
Whereas steps should be taken to ensure that exported products on which
refunds are granted meet the relevant common quality standards and any
national rules on the quality of fruit and vegetables exported to third
countries;!B1996R2190 — EN — 24.06.1998 — 005.001 — 3
Whereas, in the case of supplies for ships and aircraft treated as exports
from the Community and thus qualifying for export refunds, systematic
checking of each consignment would impose an administrative burden
disproportionate to the small quantities of fruit and vegetables normally
involved; whereas the checking of such deliveries should be dispensed
with therefore in certain conditions;
Whereas, in line with Article 4 (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No
2251/92 of 29 July 1992 on quality inspection of fresh fruit and
vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3184/94 (2), the
above derogation will be acceptable only for quantities of 500 kilograms
of a product or less;
Whereas an exported quantity conferring entitlement to a refund may
not, subject to the tolerance limits, exceed the quantity applied for in the
licence application;
Whereas the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables has not
delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
