THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES, — Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 (7), as last amended 
by Regulation (EEC) No 1461/82 (8), 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the 
European Economic Community, and in particular 
Article 43 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par­
liament, 
Whereas many of the Regulations on the common 
organization of agricultural markets provide that the 
difference between prices in international trade and 
prices in the Community may be covered by export 
refunds; whereas refunds are the same for the whole 
Community; 
Whereas for reasons of trade policy, with a view to 
closer monitoring of quantities exported and to 
reducing expenditure by the Community, it may 
prove necessary to fix refunds by a tendering 
procedure; whereas, to this end, the following Regu­
lations on the common organization of markets 
which include provision for the fixing of export 
refunds should be amended: 
— Regulation No 136/66/EEC (*), as last amended 
by Regulation (EEC) No 1413/82 (2), 
— Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 (J), as last amended 
by Regulation (EEC) No 1600/83 (4), 
— Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 (5), as last amended 
by the Act of Accession of Greece (6),
