COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2634/98
of 8 December 1998
fixing the export refunds on pigmeat
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 organization of themarket in pigmeat (
1), as last amended by the Act of
Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and by Regula-tion (EC) No 3290/94 (
2), and in particular the second
paragraph of Article 13 (3) thereof,
Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75
provides that the difference between prices on the worldmarket for the products listed in Article 1 (1) of thatRegulation and prices for these products within theCommunity may be covered by an export refund;
Whereas it follows from applying these rules and criteria
to the present situation on the market in pigmeat that therefund should be fixed as set out below;
Whereas, in the case of products falling within CN code
0210 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 of theforeseeable trend of production costs on the worldmarket; whereas it is important that the Communityshould continue to take part in international trade in thecase of certain typical Italian products falling within CNcode 0210 19 81;
Whereas, because of the conditions of competition in
certain third countries, which are traditionally importersof products falling within CN codes 1601 00 and 1602,the refund for these products should be fixed so as to takethis situation into account; whereas steps should be takento ensure that the refund is granted only for the netweight of the edible substances, to the exclusion of thenet weight of the bones possibly contained in the said
preparations;
Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75
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 (1) ofRegulation (EEC) No 2759/75 according to destination;
Whereas the refunds should be fixed taking account of
the amendments to the refund nomenclature establishedby Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (
3), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 2580/98 (4);
Whereas Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1103/
97 of 17 June 1997 on certain provisions relating to theintroduction of the euro (
5) provides that, as from 1
January 1999, all references to the ecu in legal instru-ments are to be replaced by references to the euro at therate of EUR 1 to ECU 1;
Whereas the Management Committee for Pigmeat has
not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by itschairman,
