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 amended by Regulation (EC) No 2072/98 (4), and in
particular Article 13(3) thereof,
(1) Whereas Article 13(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92and Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95provide that the difference between quotations of priceson the world market for the products listed in Article 1of each of those Regulations and the prices within theCommunity may be covered by an export refund;
(2) Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1222/94 of30 May 1994 laying down common implementing rulesfor granting export refunds on certain agricultural prod-ucts exported in the form of goods not covered byAnnex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing theamount of such refunds (
5), as last amended by Regula-
tion (EC) No 1352/98 (6), specifies the products for
which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be appliedwhere these products are exported in the form of goodslisted in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or inAnnex B to Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as appropriate;

(4) Whereas the commitments entered into with regard torefunds which may be granted for the export of agricul-tural products contained in goods not covered by AnnexI to the Treaty may be jeopardized by the fixing inadvance of high refund rates; whereas it is thereforenecessary to take precautionary measures in such situa-tions without, however, preventing the conclusion of
long-term contracts; whereas the fixing of a specificrefund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is ameasure which enables these various objectives to bemet;
(5) Whereas, now that a settlement has been reachedbetween the European Community and the United Statesof America on Community exports of pasta products tothe United States and has been approved by CouncilDecision 87/482/EEC (
7), it is necessary to differentiate
the refund on goods falling within CN codes1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to their destination;
(6) Whereas Article 4(5)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1222/94provides that, in the absence of the proof referred to inArticle 4(5)(a) of that Regulation, a reduced rate ofexport refund has to be fixed, taking account of theamount of the production refund applicable, pursuant toCommission 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 assumedperiod of manufacture of the goods;
