June 1995 on implementing rules for export refunds on fruit and veg-
etables (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 anopportunity to recast the text and repeal the aforesaid Regulation (EC) No1488/95;
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

fixed per period of allocation of export licences; whereas they may be revised

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, beforesuch 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 aninformed 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 periodfixed 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 fixingprovided 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 Commissionshould 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 anynational rules on the quality of fruit and vegetables exported to thirdcountries;
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 tothe 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,!B
