(2)Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95provides that when refunds are being fixed account mustbe taken of the existing situation and the future trendwith regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, riceand broken rice on the Community market on the onehand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cerealproducts on the world market on the other; whereas thesame Articles provide that it is also important to ensureequilibrium and the natural development of prices andtrade on the markets in cereals and rice and, further-more, to take into account the economic aspect of theproposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances onthe Community market;
(3)Whereas Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No1518/95(

95(6), on the import and export system for products
