of the system of import duties and refunds applicable in trade with third
countries in products processed from cereals and from rice, excludingcompound feedingstuffs, for which special rules have been laid down;
Whereas the object of the refund should be to cover the difference between
the prices for products within the Community and those charged on the worldmarket; whereas, for that purpose, criteria should be established fordetermining the refund essentially by reference to prices of the basis products
within and outside the Community, and to the outlets and conditions for the
sale of processed products on the world market;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1620/93 (
4) is to be repealed on 1
July 1995 and whereas, as a result, this Regulation should incorporate itsprovisions, whilst adjusting them to present market conditions and to theimplementation of the agreements concluded as part of the Uruguay Round of
multilateral trade negotiations;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with
the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
