COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1537/98

of 16 July 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 in rice (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No
192/98 (4), and in particular Article 13 (3) thereof,

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
and the prices within the
Community may be covered by an export refund;

those Regulations

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 Regula-
tion (EC) No 3072/95 as appropriate;

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
on goods
falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and
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 1011/98 (9), for the basic product in
question, used during the assumed period of manufacture
of the goods;

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

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
and listed either in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) 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.

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 prod-
ucts in question must be fixed for each month;
