mined in accordance with Article 3 of Commission
Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.

that the basic amount of the refund on sorbose exported

third countries and the use of third country products
brought in under inward processing arrangements.

(EC) No 2038/1999, the application of the basic amount
may be limited to some of the products listed in Article

refund for products falling within CN code 1702 30 91
and for products referred to in Article 1(1)(d) of Regula-
tion (EC) No 2038/1999 and of the economic aspects of
the intended exports; in the case of the products referred
to in the said Article (1)(f) and (g), the refund is to be
granted only for products complying with the condi-
tions in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95; for
the products referred to in Article 1(1)(h), the refund
shall be granted only for products complying with the
conditions in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2135/95.

to this Regulation.
