COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2193/1999

of 14 October 1999

fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs

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 Regulation (EC) No 1253/
1999 (2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,

(1) Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92
provides that the difference between quotations or prices
on the world market 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;

(2) Whereas Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995
laying down detailed rules for the application of Regu-
lation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements
for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs
based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No
1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the
application of the system of import and export licences
for cereals and rice (3) in Article 2 lays down general
rules for fixing the amount of such refunds;

(3) Whereas that calculation must also take account of the
cereal products content; whereas in the interest of
simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of
two categories of ‘cereal products’, namely for maize, the
most commonly used cereal
in exported compound
feeds and maize products, and for ‘other cereals’, these
being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize
products; whereas a refund should be granted in respect
of
in the
compound feedingstuff;

the quantity of cereal products present

(4) Whereas furthermore, the amount of the refund must
also take into account the possibilities and conditions
for the sale of those products on the world market, the
need to avoid disturbances on the Community market
and the economic aspect of the export;

(5) Whereas, however, in fixing the rate of refund it would
seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference in
raw inputs widely used in compound
the cost of
feedingstuffs as the Community and world markets,
allowing more accurate account
the
commercial conditions under which such products are
exported;

to be taken of

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

(7) Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation
are in accordance with the opinion of the Management
Committee for Cereals,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by
Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC)
No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this
Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 15 October 1999.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
