COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1553/1999

of 15 July 1999

fixing the export refunds on products processed from cereals and rice

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
1253/1999 (2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22
December 1995 on the common organization of the market in
rice (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2072/98 (4), and
in particular Article 13(3) thereof,

(1) Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92
and Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provide
that the difference between quotations or prices on the
world market for the products listed in Article 1 of
those Regulations and prices for those products within
the Community may be covered by an export refund;

(2) Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95
provides that when refunds are being fixed account must
be taken of the existing situation and the future trend
with regard to prices and availabilities of cereals, rice
and broken rice on the Community market on the one
hand and prices for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal
products on the world market on the other; whereas the
same Articles provide that it is also important to ensure
equilibrium and the natural development of prices and
trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, further-
more, to take into account the economic aspect of the
proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances on
the Community market;

(4) Whereas the refund to be granted in respect of certain
processed products should be graduated on the basis of
the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch
this
the individual product concerned,
content of
content being a particularly good indicator of
the
quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the
processed product;

(5) Whereas there is no need at present to fix an export
refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or
flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of
potential exports and in particular the nature and origin
of
certain products
processed from cereals, the insignificance of Community
participation in world trade makes it unnecessary to fix
an export refund at the present time;

these products; whereas,

for

(6) Whereas the world market situation or the specific
requirements of certain markets may make it necessary
to vary the refund for certain products according to
destination;

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

(8) Whereas certain processed maize products may undergo
a heat treatment following which a refund might be
granted that does not correspond to the quality of the
product; whereas it should therefore be specified that on
these products, containing pregelatinized starch, no
export refund is to be granted;

(9) Whereas the Management Committee for Cereals has
not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its
chairman,

(3) Whereas Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No
1518/95 (5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2993/
95 (6), on the import and export system for products
processed from cereals and from rice defines the specific
criteria to be taken into account when the refund on
these products is being calculated;
