COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3794/89

of 15 December 1989

fixing the export refunds on beef and veal

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 571/89 (2), and in particular the first sentence of Article 18 thereof,

Having regard to the opinion of the Monetary Committee,

Whereas Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund;

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 885/68 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 427/77 (4), lays down general rules for granting export refunds and criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds;

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 32/82 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3169/87 (6), and Regulations (EEC) No 1964/82 (7), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3169/87 and (EEC) No 2388/84 (8), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3988/87 (9) lay down the conditions for granting special export refunds for certain cuts of beef/veal and certain preserved beef and veal products;

Whereas Regulations (EEC) No 2908/85 (10), (EEC) No 142/86 (11), (EEC) No 1055/87 (12), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1416/87 (13) and (EEC) No 3815/87 (14), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1199/89 (15), lay down the conditions applying to the export of certain beef and veal held by certain intervention agencies and intended for export;

Whereas it follows from applying these rules and criteria to the foreseeable situation on the market in beef and veal that the refund should be as set out below;

Whereas the current market situation in the Community and sales outlets, particularly in non-member countries, leads to the granting of export refunds on adult male bovine animals of a live weight of at least 300 kilograms and other bovines of a live weight of 250 kilograms and over; whereas experience gained in recent years has shown that it is advisable to treat live pedigree breeding animals of a weight of at least 250 kilograms for females and 300 kilograms for males in an identical manner to other bovine animals, while subjecting them to certain special administrative formalities;

Whereas it is necessary to grant refunds for the export to certain destinations of certain fresh or chilled meat listed in Annex under CN code 0201, of certain frozen meat listed in Annex under CN code 0202, of certain meat offal listed in Annex under CN code 0206 and of certain other prepared or preserved meat or meat offal listed in Annex under CN codes 1602 50 10 and 1602 90 61;

Whereas, in view of the wide differences in products falling within CN codes 0201 20 90 700 and 0202 20 90 100 used for refunds, the refund should only be granted for cuts in which the weight of bone does not exceed one-third;

Whereas refunds should also be granted for fresh or frozen boned or boneless pieces, even where each piece is not individually wrapped, and for minced meat, and the wording of the tariff subheading for fresh boned or boneless pieces specified;

Whereas, in the case of meat of bovine animals, boned or boneless, salted and dried, there are traditional trade flows to Switzerland; whereas, to the extent necessary to allow this trade to continue, the refund must be fixed at an amount which will cover the difference between prices on the Swiss market and export prices in the Member States; whereas there are possibilities for exporting such meat and salted and dried meat to certain African, Near and Middle East third countries; whereas account should be taken of this situation and refund should be fixed accordingly;

Whereas, in the case of certain other cuts and preserves of meat or offals shown in Annex under CN codes 1602 50 90 and 1602 90 69, Community participation in international trade may be ensured by granting a refund which takes account of the refund hitherto granted to exporters;

Whereas, in the case of other beef and veal products, a refund need not be fixed since Community participation in world trade in these products is not significant;

Whereas, if the refund system is to operate normally, refunds should be calculated on the following basis;

- in the case of currencies which are maintained in relation to each other at any given moment within a band of 2,25 %, a rate of exchange based on their central rate, multiplied by the corrective factor provided for in the last paragraph of Article 3 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1636/87 (2),

- for other currencies, an exchange rate based on the arithmetic mean of the spot market rates of each of these currencies recorded over a given period in relation to the Community currencies referred to in the previous indent, and the aforesaid coefficient;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The list of products on which the export refund referred to in Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 in granted and the amount of that refund shall be as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 16 December 1989.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 15 December 1989.
