COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2131/98 of 5 October 1998 amending Regulation (EC) No 1466/95 laying down special detailed rules of application for export refunds on milk and milk products

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 market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1587/96 (2), and in particular Article 17(14) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1466/95 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 897/98 (4), lays down the special detailed rules of application for export refunds on milk and milk products; whereas Article 9a of that Regulation provides that export licences for cheese exported to the United States of America as part of the additional quota arising from the agreements under the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations may be allocated in accordance with a special procedure allowing the designation of preferential importers to the United States;

Whereas the acceptance of applications for export licences is subject to presentation of an attestation from the designated importer stating that he is eligible under the rules in force in the United States concerning the issue of import licences; whereas, however, experience has shown that an importer may be refused a licence by the American authorities without cause; whereas, to guarantee that the objective of the arrangements is achieved under such circumstances, provision should be made for the operator to designate another importer from among those whom the Commission has already notified to the competent authorities of the United States;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In Article 9a(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1466/95, the following subparagraph is added:

'In the case where an import licence is not allocated to the importer designated by an operator for the quantities concerned, in circumstances which do not cast doubt on the sincerity of the attestation referred to in paragraph 2, the operator may be authorised by the Member State to designate another importer provided the latter appears on the list communicated to the competent authority of the United States of America, in accordance with the first subparagraph. The Member State shall inform the Commission as soon as possible and the Commission shall notify the competent authority of the United States of America of the change of designated importer.`

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2156/98 of 7 October 1998 derogating from Regulation (EC) No 1223/94 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of advance-fixing certificates for certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty as regards the period of validity of the advance-fixing certificates for sugar

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1097/98 (2), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 8(3) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1223/94 of 30 May 1994 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of advance-fixing certificates for certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1479/98 (4), stipulates that the advance-fixing certificates for sugar shall be valid until the end of the fifth month following that of issue;

Whereas the situation on the world market in sugar is particularly volatile, the refund levels are particularly high at present and it is hard to predict what price trends will be, particularly over the entire current period of validity of the certificates;

Whereas the refund levels substantially increase the level of expenditure on agricultural products exported in the form of non-Annex II goods with the danger of subsequently reducing the prospects for exporting these products, in accordance with the international agreements concluded by the Community; whereas, consequently, steps must be taken to avoid aggravating these consequences by excessive recourse to advance fixing of the refund rates; whereas, under these conditions, the period of validity of these advance-fixing certificates should be limited, temporarily, to until the end of the third month following that of issue;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for horizontal questions concerning trade in processed agricultural products not listed in Annex II,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

By way of derogation from Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1223/94, the advance-fixing certificates for products covered by the common organisation of the market in sugar shall be valid until the end of the third month following that of issue.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall apply to applications for certificates lodged from 1 October 1998.

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

tenderer whose bid is equal to or lower than themaximum refund;
Whereas the application of the abovementioned criteria
to the current market situation for the cereal in questionresults in the maximum export refund being fixed at theamount specified in Article 1;
