THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European EconomicCommunity,
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 Arti-
cle 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 whichthe import arrangements do not provide sufficient protection for Com-munity producers, Regulations (EEC) No 1766/92 and (EEC) No1418/76 provide for the grant of a production refund to enable theuser industries concerned to have access to starch and certain deriva-
tives at a lower price than that which would result from applying the
rules of the common organization of the market in the products inquestion;
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 MemberStates;
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 to the refund; whereas such a list must be capable
of amendment on the basis of fixed criteria;
Whereas, to ensure that control measures are effective, provision
should be made for beneficiaries of the refund to be approved inadvance by the Member States in whose territory the abovementionedproducts are manufactured;
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 theintervention price for cereals and the price used to calculate theimport levy; whereas, for reasons of stability, the production refund
should as a general rule be fixed every month; whereas, as a means of
checking that the production refund is of the correct value, the pricesof maize and wheat should be monitored on the world and Commu-nity markets;
Whereas production refunds are to be paid for the use of starch and
certain derived products in the manufacture of certain goods; whereas
detailed information is required to facilitate the appropriate controland payment of the production refunds to applicants; whereas thecompetent authority in the Member State concerned should be empow-ered to require applicants to supply any information and allow anychecks or inspections necessary to effect such controls;1993R1722 — EN — 18.05.1998 — 004.001 — 2

Whereas the manufacturer of the product may not necessarily use
basic starch; whereas it is therefore necessary to draw up a list of cer-tain products derived from starch the use of which will give the manu-
facturer the right to receive the refund;
Whereas the origin of the raw materials of the starch used in the man-
ufacture of products eligible for production refunds must be specified;
Whereas the special characteristics of esterified or etherified starch
could lead to certain speculative processing operations designed toreceive the production refund more than once; whereas, so as to pre-vent such speculation, measures are needed to ensure that esterified oretherified 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, paymentshould be made within five months following verification by the com-
petent authority that the starch has been processed; whereas, however,
it should be possible for the manufacturer to receive an advancebefore completion of the controls;
Whereas the agricultural conversion rate for the refund applicable in
national currency should be specified, without prejudice to the possibi-
lity of advance fixing in accordance with Articles 13 to 17 of Com-mission 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 for agricultural products(2), as last amended by Regula-
tion (EEC) No 3745/89(3), applies to the arrangements provided for in
this Regulation; whereas, therefore, the primary requirements of theobligations incumbent on manufacturers and guaranteed by the lodgingof a security should be defined;
Whereas this Regulation incoporates, whilst adapting them, the provi-
sions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2169/86(
4), as last
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1398/91(5), whereas that Regula-
tion should therefore be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accor-
dance 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 manu-
facture of the goods listed 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 inFinland and 10 000 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 mechan-
isms of the common agricultural policy, the Commission CustomsTariff or otherwise.
3. At the time of the decision to grant a refund, other factors shall
be taken into account, in particular:1993R1722 — EN — 18.05.1998 — 004.001 — 3

— the progress made in the technology of starch manufacture and uti-
lization,
— 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 ofcompetition with other products.
4. The grant of a refund for a product may not cause distortion in
the conditions of competition with other products which are not eligi-
ble for such refunds.
5. Should it be established that distortion has occurred following
the grant of a refund, that refund shall:
— be abolished, or
— adjusted, in so far as is necessary to eliminate the distortion in the
conditions of competition.
6. Starches imported into the Community under an import scheme
which gives rise to a reduction in import duty may not benefit from aproduction refund.
7. The decisions provided for in this Article shall be adopted by
the Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and Article 27 of Regulation(EEC) No 1418/76, as applicable.
Article 2
For the purposes of this Regulation the following definitions shall
apply:
— ‘starch’ means basic starch or a product derived from starch as
listed in Annex II to this Regulation,
— ‘approved products’ means any of the products listed in Annex I,
— ‘the manufacturer’ means the user of the starch for the production
of approved products.
Article 3
1. In cases where a refund is granted, it shall be fixed once a
month. However, if the prices of maize and/or wheat in the Commu-nity or on the world market change in a significant way, the refundcalculated in accordance with paragraph 2 can be modified during this
month to take account of these changes.
2. The refund per tonne of starch of maize, wheat, barley, oats,
potatoes, rice or broken rice is calculated in particular on the basis ofthe difference between:
(i) the maize market price in the Community, valid during the five
days preceeding the day of fixing, taking into account the price
levels noted for the wheat; and
(ii) the average of the representative cif import Rotterdam prices used
for the determination of the import duties of the maize, noted dur-ing the five days preceding the day of the beginning of applica-tion,
multiplied by a coefficient of 1,60.
3. The refund payable shall be that calculated in accordance with
paragraph 2 and multiplied by the coefficient indicated to Annex IIwhich corresponds to the CN code of the starch actually used for the
manufacture of the approved products.
4. The decisions provided for in this article shall be adopted by the
Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92.1993R1722 — EN — 18.05.1998 — 004.001 — 4

►M2(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× production refund
2. Potato starch:
Actual % dry matter
80× production refund
The dry matter content of starch is determined by the method laid down in the Annex to Commission Regula-
tion (EEC) No 1908/84 (OJ No L 178, 5. 7. 1984, p. 22). Where the production refund is paid for starch fall-ing 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. ◄
