COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1909/2000
of 7 September 2000
fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
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 Regulation (EC) No 1666/
2000 (2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides
that the difference between quotations or prices on theworld market for the products listed in Article 1 of thatRegulation and prices for those products within theCommunity may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 layingdown detailed rules for the application of Regulation(EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for theexport and import of compound feedingstuffs based oncereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95laying down special detailed rules for the application ofthe system of import and export licences for cereals andrice (
3) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the
amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cerealproducts content. In the interest of simplification, therefund should be paid in respect of two categories of‘cereal products’, namely for maize, the most commonlyused cereal in exported compound feeds and maizeproducts, and for ‘other cereals’, these being eligiblecereal products excluding maize and maize products. Arefund should be granted in respect of the quantity of
cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also takeinto account the possibilities and conditions for the saleof those products on the world market, the need toavoid disturbances on the Community market and theeconomic aspect of the export.
(5) However, in fixing the rate of refund it would seemadvisable to base it at this time on the difference in thecost of raw inputs widely used in compound feeding-stuffs as the Community and world markets, allowingmore accurate account to be taken of the commercialconditions under which such products are exported.
(6) The refund must be fixed once a month; whereas it maybe altered in the intervening period.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are inaccordance with the opinion of the ManagementCommittee for Cereals,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
