COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 254/98

of 30 January 1998

fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain cereal and rice-products
exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty

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
in cereals (1), as last amended by Commission
Regulation (EC) No 923/96 (2), and in particular Article 13
(3) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of
22 December 1995 on the common organization of the
market
as amended by Regulation (EC)
No 192/98 (4), and in particular Article 13 (3) thereof,

in rice (3),

Whereas Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92
and Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provide
that the difference between quotations of prices on the
world market for the products listed in Article 1 of each
of those Regulations and the prices within the Commu-
nity may be covered by an export refund;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1222/94 of
30 May 1994 laying down common implementing rules
for granting export
refunds on certain agricultural
products exported in the form of goods not covered by
Annex II to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the
amount of such refunds (5), as last amended by Regulation
(EC) No 1909/97 (6), specifies the products for which a
rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these
products are exported in the form of goods listed in
Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B
to Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as appropriate;

Whereas,
in accordance with the first subparagraph of
Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 1222/94, the rate of
the refund per 100 kilograms for each of
the basic
products in question must be fixed for each month;

Whereas, now that a settlement has been reached between
the European Community and the United States of
America on Community exports of pasta products to the
United States and has been approved by Council Decision
87/482/EEC (7), it is necessary to differentiate the refund
falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and
on goods
1902 19 according to their destination;

Whereas Article 4 (5) (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1222/94
provides that, in the absence of the proof referred to in
Article 4 (5) (a) of that Regulation, a reduced rate of export
refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of
the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commis-
sion Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 (8), as last amended by
Regulation (EC) No 1516/95 (9), for the basic product in
question, used during the assumed period of manufacture
of the goods;

Whereas the Management Committee for Cereals has not
delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its
chairman,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products
appearing in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1222/94
in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC)
and listed either
No 1766/92 or
in Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EC)
No 3072/95, exported in the form of goods listed in
Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B
to amended Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 respectively, are
hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 February 1998.

Article 2

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member
States.

Done at Brussels, 30 January 1998.
