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‘cerealproducts’,namelyformaize,themostcommonlyused 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 takeintoaccountthepossibilitiesandconditionsforthesaleof 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.
