COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1785/98

of 13 August 1998

fixing the export refunds on products processed from cereals and rice

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

and prices

for

Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95
provides that when refunds are being fixed account must
be taken of the existing situation and the future trend
with regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and
broken rice on the Community market on the one hand
and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal prod-
ucts on the world market on the other; whereas the same
Articles provide that it is also important to ensure equilib-
rium and the natural development of prices and trade on
the markets in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take
into account
the proposed
the economic aspect of
exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on the
Community market;

Whereas Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No
1518/95 (5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2993/
95 (6), on the import and export system for products
processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific
criteria to be taken into account when the refund on these
products is being calculated;

(1) OJ L 181, 1. 7. 1992, p. 21.
(2) OJ L 126, 24. 5. 1996, p. 37.
(3) OJ L 329, 30. 12. 1995, p. 18.
(4) OJ L 20, 27. 1. 1998, p. 16.
(5) OJ L 147, 30. 6. 1995, p. 55.
(6) OJ L 312, 23. 12. 1995, p. 25.

Whereas the refund to be granted in respect of certain
processed products should be graduated on the basis of
the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch
content of the individual product concerned, this content
being a particularly good indicator of the quantity of basic
product actually incorporated in the processed product;

Whereas there is no need at present to fix an export
refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or
flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of
potential exports and in particular the nature and origin
of these products; whereas, for certain products processed
from cereals, the insignificance of Community participa-
tion in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export
refund at the present time;

the world market

Whereas
the specific
requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to
vary the refund for certain products according to destina-
tion;

situation or

Whereas the refund must be fixed once a month; whereas
it may be altered in the intervening period;

Whereas certain processed maize products may undergo a
heat treatment following which a refund might be granted
that does not correspond to the quality of the product;
whereas it should therefore be specified that on these
products, containing pregelatinized starch, no export
refund is to be granted;

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 export refunds on the products listed in Article 1 (1)
(d) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and in Article 1 (1)
(c) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 and subject to Regula-
tion (EC) No 1518/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the
Annex to this Regulation.
