COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1722/93
of 30 June 1993
laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulations
(EEC) No 1766/82 and (EEC) No 1418/76 concerning production refunds
in the cereals and rice sectors respectively
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on
the common organization of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article
7 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 of 21 June 1976 on
the common organization of the market in rice (2), as last amended by
Regulation (EEC) No 1544/93 (3), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Whereas, in view of the special situation of the market in starch, and
particularly the need to keep prices competitive in relation to starch produced
in third countries and imported as goods in respect of which the import
arrangements do not provide sufficient protection for Community producers,Regulations (EEC) No 1766/92 and (EEC) No 1418/76 provide for the grantof a production refund to enable the user industries concerned to have access
to starch and certain derivatives at a lower price than that which would result
from applying the rules of the common organization of the market in theproducts in question;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and Article 9
of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76, it is necessary to adopt detailed rules for the
grant of production refunds, including rules for control and payment, so that
he same rules are applied in all Member States;
Whereas the abovementioned Regulations provide for a list to be drawn up of
of products the manufacture of which uses starch giving rise to entitlement tothe refund; whereas such a list must be capable of amendment on the basis offixed criteria;
Whereas, to ensure that control measures are effective, provision should be
made for beneficiaries of the refund to be approved in advance by the
Member States in whose territory the abovementioned products are manu-
factured;
Whereas it is necessary to define how the production refund is to be
calculated how often it is to be fixed; whereas the most satisfactorycalculation method is at present based on the difference between the
intervention price for cereals and the price used to calculate the import levy;
whereas, for reasons of stability, the production refund should as a generalrule be fixed every month; whereas, as a means of checking that theproduction refund is of the correct value, the prices of maize and wheat
should be monitored on the world and Community markets;
Whereas production refunds are to be paid for the use of starch and certain
derived products in the manufacture of certain goods; whereas detailedinformation is required to facilitate the appropriate control and payment of theproduction refunds to applicants; whereas the competent authority in the
Member State concerned should be empowered to require applicants to supply
any information and allow any checks or inspections necessary to effect suchcontrols;
Whereas the manufacturer of the product may not necessarily use basic
starch; whereas it is therefore necessary to draw up a list of certain productsderived from starch the use of which will give the manufacturer the right to
receive the refund;
Whereas the origin of the raw materials of the starch used in the manufacture
of products eligible for production refunds must be specified;!B

(2) OJ No L 166, 25. 6. 1976, p. 1.

Whereas the special characteristics of esterified or etherified starch could lead
to certain speculative processing operations designed to receive theproduction refund more than once; whereas, so as to prevent such speculation,measures are needed to ensure that esterified or etherified starch is not
reprocessed into a raw material the use of which gives the right to apply for a
refund;
Whereas the production refund should not be paid until processing has taken
place; whereas, once processing has taken place, payment should be madewithin five months following verification by the competent authority that the
starch has been processed; whereas, however, it should be possible for the
manufacturer to receive an advance before completion of the controls;
Whereas the agricultural conversion rate for the refund applicable in national
currency should be specified, without prejudice to the possibility of advance
fixing in accordance with Articles 13 to 17 of Commission Regulation (EEC)
No 1068/93 (
1);
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 of 22 July 1985 laying
down common detailed rules for the application of the system of securities foragricultural products (
2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No
3745/89 (3), applies to the arrangements provided for in this Regulation;
whereas, therefore, the primary requirements of the obligations incumbent onmanufacturers and guaranteed by the lodging of a security should be defined;
Whereas this Regulation incoporates, whilst adapting them, the provisions of
Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2169/86 (
4), as last amended by
Regulation (EEC) No 1398/91 (5), whereas that Regulation should therefore
be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with
the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. A production refund (hereinafter called ‘refund’) may be granted to
natural or legal persons using starch extracted from wheat, maize, rice, broken
rice or potatoes, or certain derived products, in the manufacture of the goodslisted in Annex I.
For Finland and Sweden, a refund may also be granted for the use of barley
and oat starch limited to a total quantity of 50 000 tonnes in Finland and10 000 tonnes in Sweden.
2. The list referred to in paragraph 1 may be amended to take account of the
level of competition with third countries, and the degree of protection against
such competition afforded by the mechanisms of the common agricultural
policy, the Commission Customs Tariff or otherwise.
3. At the time of the decision to grant a refund, other factors shall be taken
into account, in particular:
— the progress made in the technology of starch manufacture and
utilization,
— the degree to which starch is incorporated in the final product and/or the
relative value of starch in the final product and/or the importance of the
product as an outlet for starch, in the light of competition with otherproducts.
4. The grant of a refund for a product may not cause distortion in the
conditions of competition with other products which are not eligible for such
refunds.
5. Should it be established that distortion has occurred following the grant
of a refund, that refund shall:
— be abolished, or!B

(1)The coefficient shown applies to starch with a dry matter content at a least 87 % in the case of maize, rice and wheat starches, and at least 80
% in the case of potato starch.
The production refund payable for basic starch of a lower dry matter content than that shown is to be adjusted using the following formula:
1. maize, rice, wheat, barley and oat starch:
Actual % dry matter
87/C2production refund
2. Potato starch:
Actual % dry matter
80/C2production refund
The dry matter content of starch is determined by the method laid down in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1908/84 (OJ No L
178, 5. 7. 1984, p. 22). Where the production refund is paid for starch falling within CN code 1108, the purity of starch in the dry matter must
be at least 97 %.
When determining the degree of purity of starch, the method to be used in that set out in Annex III to this Regulation.
(2)The production refund is payable for products falling within CN codes with a dry matter content of at least 78 %. The production refund
payable for products falling within these CN codes with a dry matter content lower than 78 % is to be adjusted using the following formula:
