COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2247/2000
of 10 October 2000
fixingthe export refunds on pig meat
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29
October 1975 on the common organisation of the market inpigmeat (
1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1365/
2000 (2), and in particular the second paragraph of Article
13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides
that the difference between prices on the world marketfor the products listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulationand prices for these products within the Communitymay be covered by an export refund.
(2) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to thepresent situation on the market in pigmeat that therefund should be fixed as set out below.
(3) In the case of products falling within CN code0210 19 81, the refund should be limited to an amountwhich takes account of the qualitative characteristics ofeach of the products falling within these codes and ofthe foreseeable trend of production costs on the worldmarket. It is important that the Community shouldcontinue to take part in international trade in the case ofcertain typical Italian products falling within CN code0210 19 81.
(4) Because of the conditions of competition in certain thirdcountries, which are traditionally importers of productsfalling within CN codes 1601 00 and 1602, the refundfor these products should be fixed so as to take thissituation into account. Steps should be taken to ensurethat the refund is granted only for the net weight of the
edible substances, to the exclusion of the net weight ofthe bones possibly contained in the said preparations.
(5) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 providesthat the world market situation or the specific require-ments of certain markets may make it necessary to varythe refund on the products listed in Article 1(1) ofRegulation (EEC) No 2759/75 according to destination.
(6) The refunds should be fixed taking account of theamendments to the refund nomenclature established byCommission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (
3), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1000/2000 (4).
(7) Refunds should be granted only on products that areallowed to circulate freely within the Community. There-fore, to be eligible for a refund, products should berequired to bear the health mark laid down in CouncilDirective 64/433/EEC (
5), as last amended by Directive
95/23/EC (6), Council Directive 94/65/EC (7) and Council
Directive 77/99/EEC (8), as last amended by Directive
97/76/EC (9).
(8) The Management Committee for Pigmeat has not deliv-ered an opinion within the time limit set by itschairman,
