of 15 July 1999
fixing the export refunds on products processed from cereals and rice
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 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 organization of the market inrice (
3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2072/98 (4), and
in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
(1) Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92and Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 providethat the difference between quotations or prices on theworld market for the products listed in Article 1 ofthose Regulations and prices for those products withinthe Community may be covered by an export refund;
(2) Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95provides that when refunds are being fixed account mustbe taken of the existing situation and the future trendwith regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, riceand broken rice on the Community market on the onehand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cerealproducts on the world market on the other; whereas thesame Articles provide that it is also important to ensureequilibrium and the natural development of prices andtrade on the markets in cereals and rice and, further-more, to take into account the economic aspect of theproposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances onthe Community market;
(3) Whereas Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No1518/95 (
5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2993/
95 (6), on the import and export system for products
processed from cereals and from rice defines the specificcriteria to be taken into account when the refund onthese products is being calculated;(4) Whereas the refund to be granted in respect of certainprocessed products should be graduated on the basis ofthe ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starchcontent of the individual product concerned, thiscontent being a particularly good indicator of thequantity of basic product actually incorporated in theprocessed product;
(5) Whereas there is no need at present to fix an exportrefund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers orflours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect ofpotential exports and in particular the nature and originof these products; whereas, for certain productsprocessed from cereals, the insignificance of Communityparticipation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fixan export refund at the present time;
(6) Whereas the world market situation or the specificrequirements of certain markets may make it necessaryto vary the refund for certain products according todestination;
(7) Whereas the refund must be fixed once a month;whereas it may be altered in the intervening period;
(8) Whereas certain processed maize products may undergoa heat treatment following which a refund might begranted that does not correspond to the quality of theproduct; whereas it should therefore be specified that onthese products, containing pregelatinized starch, noexport refund is to be granted;
(9) Whereas the Management Committee for Cereals hasnot delivered an opinion within the time limit set by itschairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
