of 28 September 2000
fixingthe rates of the refunds applicable to certain cereal and rice-products exported in the form of
goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the EuropeanCommunity,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30
June 1992 on the common organisation of the market incereals (
1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/
2000 (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 last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1667/2000 (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 1520/2000 of 13 July2000 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), specifies the products for which a rate
of refund should be fixed, to be applied where theseproducts are exported in the form of goods listed inAnnex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex Bto Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as appropriate.
(3) In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1)of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000, 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 Itothe 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 forthe 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 (
6), it is necessary to differentiate the refund
on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and1902 19 according to their destination.
(6) Pursuant to Article 4(3) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No1520/2000 provides that a reduced rate of exportrefund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount ofthe production refund applicable, pursuant to CouncilRegulation (EEC) No 1722/93 (
7), as last amended by
Commission Regulation (EC) No 87/1999 (8), for the
basic product in question, used during the assumedperiod of manufacture of the goods.
(7) Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to theprice of the cereals used in their manufacture. However,Protocol 19 of the Act of Accession of the UnitedKingdom, Ireland and Denmark stipulates that the neces-sary measures must be decided to facilitate the use ofCommunity cereals in the manufacture of spirituousbeverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is neces-sary to adapt the refund rate applying to cerealsexported in the form of spirituous beverages.
(8) It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict managementtaking account of expenditure forecasts and funds avail-able in the budget.
(9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are inaccordance with the opinion of the ManagementCommittee for Cereals,
