COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2137/1999

of 7 October 1999

fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain cereal and rice-products exported in the form of
goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty

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 amended by Regulation (EC) No 2072/98 (4), and in
particular Article 13(3) thereof,

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

(2) Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1222/94 of
30 May 1994 laying down common implementing rules
for granting export refunds on certain agricultural prod-
ucts exported in the form of goods not covered by
Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the
amount of such refunds (5), as last amended by Regula-
tion (EC) No 1702/1999 (6), specifies the products for
which a rate of refund should be fixed, to be applied
where these products are exported in the form of goods
listed in Annex B to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in
Annex B to Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as appropriate;

(3) Whereas, in accordance with the first subparagraph of
Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1222/94, the rate of
the refund per 100 kilograms for each of the basic
products in question must be fixed for each month;

(4) Whereas the commitments entered into with regard to
refunds which may be granted for the export of agricul-
tural products contained in goods not covered by Annex
I to the Treaty may be jeopardized by the fixing in
advance of high refund rates; whereas it is therefore
necessary to take precautionary measures in such situa-

tions without, however, preventing the conclusion of
long-term contracts; whereas the fixing of a specific
refund rate for the advance fixing of refunds is a
measure which enables these various objectives to be
met;

(5) Whereas, now that a settlement has been reached
between the European Community and the United States
of America on Community exports of pasta products to
the United States and has been approved by Council
Decision 87/482/EEC (7), it is necessary to differentiate
the

(6) Whereas Article 4(5)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1222/94
provides that, in the absence of the proof referred to in
Article 4(5)(a) of
that Regulation, a reduced rate of
export refund has to be fixed, taking account of the
amount of the production refund applicable, pursuant to
Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 (8), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 87/1999 (9), for the
basic product
in question, used during the assumed
period of manufacture of the goods;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

the refunds applicable to the basic products
