THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of
27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the marketin milk and milk products (
1), as last amended by Regula-
tion (EC) No 1587/96 (2), and in particular Article 17 (3)
thereof,
Whereas Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68
provides that the difference between prices in inter-national trade for the products listed in Article 1 of thatRegulation and prices for those products within theCommunity may be covered by an export refund withinthe limits resulting from agreements concluded in ac-cordance with Article 228 of the Treaty;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 provides that when
the refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of theabovementioned Regulation, exported in the natural state,are being fixed account must be taken of:
— the existing situation and the future trend with regard
to prices and availabilities of milk and milk productson the Community market and prices for milk andmilk products in international trade,
— marketing costs and the most favourable transport
charges from Community markets to ports or otherpoints of export in the Community, as well as costsincurred in placing the goods on the market of thecountry of destination,
— the aims of the common organisation of the market in
milk and milk products which are to ensure equilib-rium and the natural development of prices and tradeon this market,
— the limits resulting from agreements concluded in
accordance with Article 228 of the Treaty, and
— the need to avoid disturbances on the Community
market, and
— the economic aspect of the proposed exports;
Whereas Article 17 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68
provides that when prices within the Community arebeing determined account should be taken of the rulingprices which are most favourable for exportation, and thatwhen prices in international trade are being determined
particular account should be taken of:
(a) prices ruling on third country markets;(b) the most favourable prices in third countries of des-
tination for third country imports;
(c) producer prices recorded in exporting third countries,
account being taken, where appropriate, of subsidiesgranted by those countries; and
(d) free-at-Community-frontier offer prices;
Whereas Article 17 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68
provides that the world market situation or the specificrequirements of certain markets may make it necessary tovary the refund on the products listed in Article 1 of theabovementioned Regulation according to destination;
Whereas Article 17 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68
provides that the list of products on which export refundsare granted and the amount of such refunds should befixed at least once every four weeks; whereas the amountof the refund may, however, remain at the same level formore than four weeks;
Whereas, in accordance with Article 12 of Commission
Regulation (EC) No 1466/95 of 27 June 1995 on specificdetailed rules for the application of export refunds onmilk and milk products (
3), as last amended by Regulation
(EC) No 2184/98 (4), the refund granted for milk products
containing added sugar is equal to the sum of the twocomponents; whereas one is intended to take account ofthe quantity of milk products and is calculated by multi-plying the basic amount by the milk products content inthe product concerned; whereas the other is intended totake account of the quantity of added sucrose and iscalculated by multiplying the sucrose content of theentire product by the basic amount of the refund valid onthe day of exportation for the products listed in Article1(1)(d) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30June 1981 on the common organisation of the markets inthe sugar sector (
5), as last amended by Regulation (EC)
No 1148/98 (6); whereas, however, this second component
is applied only if the added sucrose has been producedusing sugar beet or cane harvested in the Community;

Whereas the level of refund for cheeses is calculated for
products intended for direct consumption; whereas thecheese rinds and cheese wastes are not products intendedfor this purpose; whereas, to avoid any confusion in inter-pretation, it should be specified that there will be norefund for cheeses of a free-at-frontier value less thanECU 230,00 per 100 kilograms;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 896/84 (
1), as
last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88 (2), laid
down additional provisions concerning the granting ofrefunds on the change from one milk year to another;whereas those provisions provide for the possibility ofvarying refunds according to the date of manufacture ofthe products;
Whereas for the calculation of the refund for processed
cheese provision must be made where casein or caseinatesare added for that quantity not to be taken into account;
Whereas it follows from applying the rules set out above
to the present situation on the market in milk and inparticular to quotations or prices for milk products withinthe Community and on the world market that the refundshould be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation;Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are
in accordance with the opinion of the ManagementCommittee for Milk and Milk Products,
