June 1992 on the common organisation of the market incereals (
1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No
1253/1999 (2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22
December 1995 on the common organisation of the market inrice (
3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2072/98 (4), and in
particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)Article 13(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and
Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 providethat the difference between quotations of prices on theworld market for the products listed in Article 1 of eachof those Regulations and the prices within theCommunity may be covered by an export refund.
(2)Commission Regulation (EC) No 1222/94 of 30 May1994 laying down common implementing rules forgranting export refunds on certain agricultural productsexported in the form of goods not covered by Annex Ito the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount ofsuch refunds (
5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
238/2000 (6), specifies the products for which a rate of
refund should be fixed, to be applied where these prod-ucts are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex Bto Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B toRegulation (EC) No 3072/95 as appropriate.
(3)In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1)of Regulation (EC) No 1222/94, the rate of the refundper 100 kilograms for each of the basic products inquestion must be fixed for each month.
(4)The commitments entered into with regard to refundswhich may be granted for the export of agriculturalproducts contained in goods not covered by Annex I tothe Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advanceof high refund rates. Whereas it is therefore necessary totake precautionary measures in such situations without,however, preventing the conclusion of long-termcontracts. Whereas the fixing of a specific refund rate for
the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enablesthese various objectives to be met.
(5)Now that a settlement has been reached between theEuropean Community and the United States of Americaon Community exports of pasta products to the UnitedStates and has been approved by Council Decision87/482/EEC (
7), it is necessary to differentiate the refund
on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and1902 19 according to their destination.
(6)Article 4(5)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1222/94 providesthat, in the absence of the proof referred to in Article4(5)(a) of that Regulation, a reduced rate of exportrefund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount ofthe production refund applicable, pursuant to Commis-sion Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 (
8), as last amended
by Regulation (EC) No 87/1999 (9), for the basic product
in question, used during the assumed period of manufac-ture of the goods.
(7)It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict managementtaking account of expenditure forecasts and funds avail-able in the budget.
(8)The Management Committee for Cereals has not deliv-ered an opinion within the time limit set by itschairman,
