COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1695/2000
of 28 July 2000
fixing the export refunds on beef and veal
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17
May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beefand veal(
1), and in particular Article 33(12) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 provides
that the difference between prices on the world marketfor the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulationand prices for those products within the Communitymay be covered by an export refund.
(2)Regulation (EEC) No 32/82(2), as last amended by Regu-
lation (EC) No 744/2000(3), Regulation (EEC) No 1964/
82(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1470/
2000(5), and Regulation (EEC) No 2388/84(6), as last
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3661/92(7), lay down
the conditions for granting special export refunds oncertain cuts of beef and veal and certain preserved beefand veal products.
(3)It follows from applying those rules and criteria to theforeseeable situation on the market in beef and veal thatthe refund should be as set out below.
(4)Given the current market situation in the Communityand the possibilities of disposal in certain third countriesin particular, export refunds should be granted, on theone hand, on bovine animals intended for slaughter of alive weight greater than 220 kilograms and less than300 kilograms, and, on the other on adult bovineanimals of a live weight of at least 300 kilograms.(5)Export refunds should be granted for certain destinationson some fresh or chilled meat listed in the Annex Iunder CN code 0201, on some frozen meat listed in theAnnex I under CN code 0202, on some meat or offallisted in the Annex I under CN code 0206 and on someother prepared or preserved meat or offal listed in theAnnex I under CN code 16025010.
(6)In view of the wide differences in products covered byCN codes 020120909700 and 020220909100 usedfor refund purposes, refunds should only be granted oncuts in which the weight of bone does not exceed onethird.
(7)In the case of meat of bovine animals, boned or bone-less, salted and dried, there are traditional trade flows toSwitzerland. To allow this trade to continue, the refundshould be set to cover the difference between prices onthe Swiss market and export prices in the MemberStates.
(8)In the case of certain other cuts and preserves of meat oroffal shown in Annex I under CN codes 16025031 to16025080, the Community share of international trademay be maintained by granting a refund correspondingto that at present available.
(9)In the case of other beef and veal products, a refundneed not be fixed since the Community's share of worldtrade is not significant.
(10)Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87(8), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1000/2000(9), estab-
lishes the agricultural product nomenclature for thepurposes of export refunds.
(11)In order to simplify customs export formalities for oper-ators, the refunds on all frozen cuts should be broughtinto line with those on fresh or chilled cuts other thanthose from adult male bovine animals.

(12)Checks on products covered by CN code 160250
should be stepped up by making the granting of refundson these products conditional on manufacture under thearrangements provided for in Article 4 of Council Regu-lation (EEC) No 565/80 of 4 March 1980 on theadvance payment of export refunds in respect of agricul-tural products(
1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No
2026/83(2).
(13)Refunds on female animals should vary depending ontheir age in order to prevent abuses in the export ofcertain pure-bred breeding animals.
(14)Opportunities exist for the export to certain third coun-tries of heifers other than those intended for slaughter,but to prevent any abuse control criteria should be laiddown to ensure that these animals are not more than 36months old.
(15)The measures provided for in this Regulation are inaccordance with the opinion of the ManagementCommittee for Beef and Veal,
