COM(83)  234 final 
Brussels,  3 May 1983 
Proposal  for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) 
amending  Regulation  (EEC) No  565/80  on the  advance  payment  of 
export refunds  in respect  of agricultural  products 
(submitted  to the  Council  by the  Commission) 
COM(83)  234 final 

Explanatory  memorandum 
The purpose  of this proposal  is to amend  Council Regulation  (EEC) N°  565/80 
on the advance  payment  of export refunds  in respect  of agricultural  products 
in order to allow non-Annex  II goods to benefit  from advance  payment  of export 
refunds when such goods are intended  for export  after processing.  The possibility 
of advance  payment  of export refunds  exist already  for agricultural  products 
intended  for export  after processing  and the  proposal  would therefore  result in 
equal treatment  of agricultural  products  and non-Annex  II goods. 
Furthermore,  the proposal  will ensure that  the notional  quantities,  used far  v-nii^n: 
the calculation  of the  export refund  for products incorporated  in the  goods-
listed in Annex C to Regulation  (EEC) N°  3035/80  also are used as rate of yield 
when the  competent  authorities  are carrying  out their control  with the manufacture. 

Proposal  for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION  (EEC) 
amending  Regulation  (EEC) No 565/80 on the advance payment 
of export refunds  in respect  of agricultural  products 
THE COUNCIL  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 1451/82(2),  and in  particular Article  16 (5)  thereof,  and the  corresponding 
provisions  of the  other Regulations  establishing  a common  organization  of the market 
in agricultural  products, 
Having regard  to the  proposal  from the Commission, 
Whereas  Article  2 of Council Regulation  (EEC) No 565/80 (3)  defines basic products 
as products covered  by a market  organization  which  after processing  are intended 
to be exported;  whereas  basic products  may be  eligible  for advance payment of 
export refunds; 
Whereas the goods  covered  by Council Regulation  (EEC) No 3035/80 (4), as  last amended 
by Regulation  (EEC) No 764/82  (5)x are not at  present included  in the  definition 
of basic products; 
Whereas  such goods  should  be included  in that definition  in order to ensure  that 
they are treated  in the  same way as  products covered  by the market  organization; 
Whereas  Article  4(3) of  Regulation  (EEC) No 565/80  provides that  the rate of 
yield applicable  for processing  shall be that applicable  in respect  of inward 
processing;  whereas  refunds  are paid on notional  quantities  of products  used 
in the maufacture  of goods  listed  in Annex C to  Regulation  (EEC) No 3035/80, 
whereas  these notional  quantities  should  be used as rate of yield in respect  of 
those goods,

5.2 METHOD  OF CALCULATION 
The proposal  does not  create  any additional  expenditure.  In view of the  fact that 
the basic  products  (used,  where  applicable,  under the IPT arrangements)  may 
already qualify fo^the  system  of advance  financing  of the  refund^,  the grant 
of advances on the  refund  in respect  of non-Annex II  products  could bring 
forward EAGGF - Guarantee  expenditure  by several  million  ECU at most.
