THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2190/
96 of 14 November 1996 on detailed rules for imple-
menting Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards
export refunds on fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended
by Regulation (EC) No 1287/98 (2), and in particular
Article 3(4) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 927/1999 (3),
sets the indicative refund rates and the indicative quant-
ities for A2 export licences, other than those applied for
in the context of food aid;

Whereas, for oranges and lemons in view of the economic
situation in the various destination groups indicated in
the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 927/1999 and taking
account of information received by operators via their
applications for A2 licences, the definitive refund rates
should be set at a different rate from the indicative rates;
whereas the percentages for the issuing of licences for the
quantities applied for should also be set; whereas the
definitive rates may not be more than double the indic-
ative rates;

Whereas, pursuant to Article 3(5) of Regulation (EC) No
2190/96, applications for rates in excess of
the cor-
responding definitive rates shall be considered null and
void,
