THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of
6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements
applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing
of agricultural products (1), as last amended by Commis-
sion Regulation (EC) No 2491/98 (2), and in particular the

(1) Whereas Article 4(1) of Commission Regulation
(EC) No 1223/94 (3), as last amended by Regulation
(EC) No 1479/98 (4), stipulates that certificates for
cereals shall be valid until the end of the fifth

way of derogation therefrom, paragraph 2 of the
same Article stipulates that advance-fixing certi-
ficates for durum wheat shall be valid until the end
of the sixth month following that of application
and that advance-fixing certificates
for barley
exported in the form of beer shall be valid until the
end of the 11th month following that of applica-
tion;

(2) Whereas

the validity of certificates

for durum
wheat exported unprocessed has been shortened to
the end of the fourth month following that of
application; whereas the derogation applicable to
durum wheat exported in the form of goods not
covered by Annex II should therefore be deleted;

down special detailed rules for the application of
