COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1753/98
of 6 August 1998
fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92
of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of themarket in cereals (
1), as last amended by Commission
Regulation (EC) No 923/96 (2), and in particular Article 13
(3) thereof,
Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92
provides that the difference between quotations or priceson the world market for the products listed in Article 1 ofthat Regulation and prices for those products within theCommunity may be covered by an export refund;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995
laying down detailed rules for the application of Regula-tion (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements forthe export and import of compound feedingstuffs basedon cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95laying down special detailed rules for the application ofthe system of import and export licences for cereals andrice (
3) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the
amount of such refunds;
Whereas that calculation must also take account of the
cereal products content; whereas in the interest of simpli-fication, the refund should be paid in respect of two cate-gories of ‘cereal products’, namely for maize, the mostcommonly used cereal in exported compound feeds andmaize products, and for ‘other cereals’, these beingeligible cereal products excluding maize and maizeproducts; whereas a refund should be granted in respect ofthe quantity of cereal products present in the compound
feedingstuff;
Whereas furthermore, the amount of the refund must also
take into account the possibilities and conditions for thesale of those products on the world market, the need toavoid disturbances on the Community market and theeconomic aspect of the export;
Whereas, however, in fixing the rate of refund it would
seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference inthe cost of raw inputs widely used in compound feeding-stuffs as the Community and world markets, allowingmore accurate account to be taken of the commercialconditions under which such products are exported;
Whereas the refund must be fixed once a month; whereas
it may be altered in the intervening period;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are
in accordance with the opinion of the ManagementCommittee for Cereals,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs
covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject toRegulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown inthe Annex to this Regulation.
