COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2184/98

of 9 October 1998

amending Regulation (EC) No 1466/95 laying down special detailed rules of
application for export refunds on milk and milk products

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Whereas in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1466/95, for
the calculation of refunds on milk products with added
sugar, the maximum quantity of sucrose incorporated for
which a refund is granted is fixed at 40 %; whereas, to
take better account of the composition of the products
concerned, that percentage should be increased;

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

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 Regula-
tion (EC) No 1587/96 (2), and in particular Article 17(14)
thereof,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1466/95 (3), as
last amended by Regulation (EC) No 897/98 (4), lays down
special detailed rules of application for export refunds on
milk and milk products; whereas Article 9a of that Regu-
lation provides that export licences for cheese exported to
the United States of America as part of the additional
quota under
the Agreements concluded during the
Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations may be
allocated according to a special procedure by which
preferred importers in the United States may be desig-
nated;

Whereas, as a result of the Agreement on the conclusion
of negotiations between the European Community and
the United States of America under GATT Article
XXIV:6 (5), the ‘cheese' tariff quotas for Austria, Finland
and Sweden originally resulting from the Tokyo Round
and granted by the United States in Uruguay Round list
XX have been administered from 1998 onward in the
same way as the additional quota granted by the United
States to the Community of Twelve; whereas, in order to
take account of this, certain provisions of Article 9a of
Regulation (EC) No 1466/95 should be adapted; whereas,
given the time limit for the implementation of the pro-
cedure for 1999, those adaptations should apply as soon as
possible;
