COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1549/1999

of 15 July 1999

fixing the export refunds on milk and milk products

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(a) prices ruling on third country markets;

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

(b) the most favourable prices in third countries of des-

tination for third country imports;

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 Regulation (EC) No
1587/96 (2), and in particular Article 17(3) thereof,

(1) Whereas Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68
provides that
the difference between prices in inter-
national trade 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 within
the limits
resulting from agreements concluded in
accordance with Article 228 of the Treaty;

(2) Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 provides that
when the refunds on the products listed in Article 1 of
the abovementioned Regulation, exported in the natural
state, are being fixed, account must be taken of:

— the existing situation and the future trend with
regard to prices and availabilities of milk and milk
products on the Community market and prices for
milk and milk products in international trade,

— marketing costs and the most favourable transport
charges from Community markets to ports or other
points of export in the Community, as well as costs
incurred in placing the goods on the market of the
country of destination,

— the aims of the common organisation of the market
in milk and milk products which are to ensure equi-
librium and the natural development of prices and
trade on this market,

— the limits resulting from agreements concluded in
accordance with Article 228 of the Treaty, and

— the need to avoid disturbances on the Community

market, and

— the economic aspect of the proposed exports;

(3) Whereas Article 17(5) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68
provides that when prices within the Community are
being determined account should be taken of the ruling
prices which are most favourable for exportation, and
that when prices in international trade are being deter-
mined particular account should be taken of:

(c) producer prices recorded in exporting third coun-
tries, account being taken, where appropriate, of
subsidies granted by those countries; and

(d) free-at-Community-frontier offer prices;

(4) Whereas Article 17(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68
provides that the world market situation or the specific
requirements of certain markets may make it necessary
to vary the refund on the products listed in Article 1 of
the abovementioned Regulation according to destina-
tion;

(5) Whereas Article 17(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68
provides that
the list of products on which export
refunds are granted and the amount of such refunds
should be fixed at least once every four weeks; whereas
the amount of the refund may, however, remain at the
same level for more than four weeks;

(6) Whereas, in accordance with Article 16 of Commission
Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 of 26 January 1999 on
specific detailed rules for the application of Council
Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 as regards export licences
and export refunds on milk and milk products (3), the
refund granted for milk products containing added sugar
is equal to the sum of the two components; whereas one
is intended to take account of the quantity of milk
products and is calculated by multiplying the basic
amount by the milk products content in the product
concerned; whereas the other is intended to take account
of the quantity of added sucrose and is calculated by
multiplying the sucrose content of the entire product by
the basic amount of the refund valid on the day of
exportation for the products listed in Article 1(1)(d) of
Council Regulation (EEC) No 1785/81 of 30 June 1981
on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar
sector (4), as last amended by Commission Regulation
(EC) No 1148/98 (5); whereas, however,
this second
component is applied only if the added sucrose has been
produced using sugar beet or cane harvested in the
Community;

(2) OJ L 206, 16.8.1996, p. 21.

(4) OJ L 177, 1.7.1981, p. 4.

(7) Whereas the level of refund for cheeses is calculated for
products intended for direct consumption; whereas the
cheese rinds and cheese wastes are not products
intended for this purpose; whereas, to avoid any confu-
sion in interpretation, it should be specified that there
will be no refund for cheeses of a free-at-frontier value
less than EUR 230,00 per 100 kilograms;

(8) Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 896/84 (1),
as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88 (2), laid
down additional provisions concerning the granting of
refunds on the change from one milk year to another;
whereas those provisions provide for the possibility of
varying refunds according to the date of manufacture of
the products;

(9) Whereas for the calculation of the refund for processed
cheese provision must be made where casein or casein-
ates are added for that quantity not to be taken into
account;

(10) Whereas it follows from applying the rules set out above
to the present situation on the market in milk and in
particular to quotations or prices for milk products
within the Community and on the world market that the

refund should be as set out in the Annex to this Regula-
tion;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
