COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1108/1999

of 27 May 1999

fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs

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,

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

Whereas Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995
laying down detailed rules for the application of Regula-
tion (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for
the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based
on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95
laying down special detailed rules for the application of
the system of import and export licences for cereals and
rice (3) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the
amount of such refunds;

Whereas that calculation must also take account of the
cereal products content; whereas in the interest of simpli-
fication, the refund should be paid in respect of two
categories of ‘cereal products', namely for maize, the most
commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and
these being
maize products, and for
eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize prod-
ucts; whereas a refund should be granted in respect of the

‘other cereals',

quantity of cereal products present
feedingstuff;

in the compound

Whereas furthermore, the amount of the refund must also
take into account the possibilities and conditions for the
sale of those products on the world market, the need to
avoid disturbances on the Community market and the
economic aspect of the export;

Whereas, however, in fixing the rate of refund it would
seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference in
the cost of raw inputs widely used in compound feeding-
stuffs as the Community and world markets, allowing
more accurate account to be taken of the commercial
conditions under which such products are exported;

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

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

refunds on the compound feedingstuffs
The export
covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to
Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in
the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 28 May 1999.

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

Done at Brussels, 27 May 1999.
