COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 856/2000

of 27 April 2000

fixing the export refunds on products processed from cereals and rice

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(4)

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

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

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

Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that
when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of
the existing situation and the future trend with regard to
prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and broken rice
on the Community market on the one hand and prices
for cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal products on the
world market on the other. The same Articles provide
that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the
natural development of prices and trade on the markets
in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account
the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the
need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.

Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/
95 (5), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2993/95 (6),
on the import and export system for products processed
from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to
be taken into account when the refund on these prod-
ucts is being calculated.

The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed
products should be graduated on the basis of the ash,
crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of
the individual product concerned, this content being a
particularly good indicator of
the quantity of basic
product actually incorporated in the processed product.

tropical

roots and tubers or

There is no need at present to fix an export refund for
manioc, other
flours
obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect of poten-
tial exports and in particular the nature and origin of
these products. For certain products processed from
cereals, the insignificance of Community participation in
world trade makes it unnecessary to fix an export refund
at the present time.

The world market situation or the specific requirements
of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the
refund for certain products according to destination.

The refund must be fixed once a month; whereas it may
be altered in the intervening period.

Certain processed maize products may undergo a heat
treatment following which a refund might be granted
that does not correspond to the quality of the product;
whereas it should therefore be specified that on these
products, containing pregelatinized starch, no export
refund is to be granted.
