THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21
April 1970 on the financing of
the common agricultural
policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1287/95 (2),
and in particular Article 5(2)(c) thereof,

After consulting the Committee of the European Agricultural
Guidance and Guarantee Fund,

Whereas:

Under Article 5(2)(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 the
Commission, after consulting the Fund Committee, must

the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1663/95 of 7
July 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application

liation procedure in the context of the clearance of the
accounts of the European Agricultural Guidance and
Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) Guarantee Section (5).

The Member States have had an opportunity to request
conciliation and did so in a number of cases, and the
report delivered on completion of
the conciliation
procedure has been examined by the Commission.

Under Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70,
financing may be provided only for export refunds on
products exported to third countries and action designed
to stabilise the agricultural markets, granted or under-
taken respectively in accordance with the Community
rules on the common organisation of the agricultural
markets.

In the light of the inspections carried out, the outcome
of the bilateral discussions and the conciliation proced-
ures, part of the expenditure declared by the Member
States does not fulfil these requirements and cannot be
financed under the EAGGF Guarantee Section.

The amounts found not to be chargeable to the EAGGF
Guarantee Section are shown in the Annex to this
Decision. They do not concern expenditure incurred
prior to the 24-month period preceding the Commis-
sion's written notification to the Member States of the
findings of the inspections.

In the cases covered by this Decision, the evaluation of
the amounts to be excluded from Community financing
on grounds of non-compliance with the Community
rules was communicated by the Commission to the
Member States through a summary report.
