COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 427/98

of 23 February 1998

amending Regulation (EEC) No 210/69 on communications between Member
States and the Commission with regard to milk and milk products

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Article 1

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of
27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market
in milk and milk products (1), as
last amended by
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1587/96 (2), and in par-
ticular Article 28 thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 210/69 (3), as
last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2283/97 (4), specifies
the information on the management of the market in
milk products to be notified regularly to the Commission;
whereas entry into force of the Agreement on Agriculture
reached in the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade nego-
tiations requires, for the purposes of the commitments
entered into thereunder, the provision of additional or
more detailed information on exports; whereas experience
has shown that certain provisions on this information
have been interpreted differently from one Member State
to another; whereas they should therefore be made more
precise; whereas the communications on change of desti-
nation may be limited to cases where the refund for the
destination fixed in advance and that for the actual des-
tination differ; whereas the provisions concerned should
therefore be adjusted;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are
in accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Milk and Milk Products,

Article 6(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 210/69 is hereby
amended as follows:

1. Subparagraph (a) is replaced by the following:

‘(a) the quantities, split up by Combined Nomen-
clature code and by destination code, for which
export formalities have been completed, indicating:

(i) quantities with refund,

(ii) quantities without refund.’

2. Subparagraph (c) is replaced by the following:

‘(c) the quantities, split up by export refund nomencla-
ture code for milk products, to which Article 20(3)
of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87 (***)
has been applied, where the refund applied differs
from that shown on the licence, and the difference
between the refund for the destination indicated
on the licence and that actually applied.’

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day
following its publication in the Official Journal of the
European Communities.

However, Article 1(2) shall apply from 1 July 1998.

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

Done at Brussels, 23 February 1998.
