COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1003/98

of 13 May 1998

fixing the export refunds on pigmeat

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75
of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the
market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by the Act of
Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and by Regula-
tion (EC) No 3290/94 (2), and in particular the second
paragraph of Article 13 (3) thereof,

Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75
provides that the difference between prices on the world
market for the products listed in Article 1 (1) of that
Regulation and prices for
these products within the
Community may be covered by an export refund;

Whereas it follows from applying these rules and criteria
to the present situation on the market in pigmeat that the
refund should be fixed as set out below;

Whereas, in the case of products falling within CN code
0210 19 81, the refund should be limited to an amount
which takes account of the qualitative characteristics of
each of the products falling within these codes and of the
foreseeable trend of production costs on the world
market; whereas it
the Community
should continue to take part in international trade in the
case of certain typical Italian products falling within CN
code 0210 19 81;

is important

that

Whereas, because of the conditions of competition in
certain third countries, which are traditionally importers
of products falling within CN codes 1601 00 and 1602,
the refund for these products should be fixed so as to take

this situation into account; whereas steps should be taken
to ensure that the refund is granted only for the net
weight of the edible substances, to the exclusion of the
net weight of the bones possibly contained in the said
preparations;

Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75
provides that the world market situation or the specific
requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to
vary the refund on the products listed in Article 1 (1) of
Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 according to destination;

Whereas the refunds should be fixed taking account of
the amendments to the refund nomenclature established
by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 707/98 (4);

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The list of products on which the export refund specified
in Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 is granted
and the amount of the refund shall be as set out in the
Annex hereto.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 14 May 1998.

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

Done at Brussels, 13 May 1998.
