THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2190/96 of
14 November 1996 on detailed rules for implementing Council
Regulation (EEC) No 2200/96 as regards export refunds on
fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
1303/1999 (2), and in particular Article 5(6) thereof,

(1) Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No1304/1999 (3),
as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1504/1999 (4),
fixes the indicative quantities laid down for the issue of
export licences other than those requested in the context
of food aid;

the Commission,
the indicative quantities have been
exceeded in the case of shelled hazelnuts, oranges,
lemons, table grapes, apples for destination groups F03
and F04 and peaches and nectarines;

(3) Whereas as a consequence, for system B licences applied
for between 1 July 1999 and 15 September 1999, a rate
of refund which is lower than the indicative rate should

be fixed for shelled hazelnuts, oranges,
lemons, table
grapes, apples for destination groups F03 and F04 and
peaches and nectarines;

able must be multiplied, shall be as fixed in the Annex hereto.
