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 grant of 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 the products 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 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 in advance by the Member States in whose territory the abovementioned products 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 satisfactory calculation 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 general rule be fixed every month; whereas, as a means of checking that the production 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 detailed information is required to facilitate the appropriate control and payment of the production 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 such controls; Whereas the manufacturer of the product may not necessarily use basic starch; whereas it is therefore necessary to draw up a list of certain products derived 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; Whereas the special characteristics of esterified or etherified starch could lead to certain speculative processing operations designed to receive the production 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 made within 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 ( 4 ); 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 ( 5 ), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3745/89 ( 6 ), applies to the arrangements provided for in this Regulation; whereas, therefore, the primary requirements of the obligations incumbent on manufacturers 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 ( 7 ), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1398/91 ( 8 ), 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 goods listed in Annex I.

▼M2

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 and 10 000 tonnes in Sweden.

▼B

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 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 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

— adjusted, in so far as is necessary to eliminate the distortion in the conditions of competition.

▼M3

6. Starches imported into the Community under an import scheme which gives rise to a reduction in import duty may not benefit from a production refund.

▼B

7. The decisions provided for in this Article shall be adopted by the Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and Article 27 of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76, as applicable.

Article 3

1. In cases where a refund is granted, it shall be fixed once a month.

2. The refund per tonne of starch of maize, wheat, barley, oats, potatoes, rice or broken rice is calculated in particular on the basis of the 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 during the five days preceding the day of the beginning of application,

multiplied by a coefficient of 1,60.

▼M7

For potato starch a different rate may be set that reflects the minimum price indicated in Article 8(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92.

▼M4

3. The refund payable shall be that calculated in accordance with paragraph 2 and multiplied by the coefficient indicated to Annex II which corresponds to the CN code of the starch actually used for the manufacture of the approved products.

ANNEX III

The degree of purity of the starch in dry matter is determined with the aid of the modified polarimetric Ewers method, published in Annex I to the third Commission Directive 72/199/EEC ( 11 ) setting out the Community methods of analysis for the official control of animal feed.
