COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 190/88

of 22 January 1988

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2169/86 laying down detailed rules for the control and payment of the production refunds in the cereals and rice sectors

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3808/87 (2),

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 of 21 June 1976 on the common organization of the market in rice (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3877/87 (4),

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1009/86 of 25 March 1986 establishing general rules applying to production refunds in the cereals and rice sectors (5), and in particular Article 6 thereof,

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (6) establishes, with effect from 1 January 1988, a combined goods nomenclature based on the harmonized system which will meet the requirements both of the Common Customs Tariff and the nomenclature of goods for the external trade statistics of the Community;

Whereas, as a consequence, it is necessary to express the description of goods and tariff heading numbers which appear in Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75, according to the terms of the combined nomenclature; whereas these adaptations do not call for any amendment of substance;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2169/86 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3642/87 (8), specifies a particular rate of security in respect of products eligible for the granting of production refunds which fall within code 3505 10 50 of the combined nomenclature; whereas certain control measures to ensure that the specific conditions associated with these products are complied with in intra-Community trade appear to be necessary;

Whereas it is necessary to clarify more precisely the source of the starch used to manufacture products eligible for a production refund;

Whereas the rate of security for these products is sufficient to preclude the requirement of the lodging of a further security when advance payment of production refunds is made in respect of these products;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
