COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1214/2000

of 8 June 2000

limiting the term of validity of export licences for certain products processed from cereals

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 organisation of the market in
cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1253/
1999 (2), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 of
23 May 1995 laying down special detailed rules for the
application of the system of import and export licences for
cereals and rice (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
1432/1999 (4), and in particular Article 7(1) thereof,

in respect of agricultural products (5), as amended by
Regulation (EEC) No 2026/83 (6). Such limiting of the
term of validity of export licences entails a derogation
from Articles 27(5) and 28(5) of Commission Regula-
tion (EEC) No 3665/87 of 27 November 1987 laying
down common detailed rules for the application of the
system of export refunds on agricultural products (7), as
last amended by Regulation (EC) No 604/98 (8).

(4)

(5)

The application of the measures provided for in this
Regulation must coincide with its entry into force in
order to avoid potential market disturbance.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Cereals,

Whereas:

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

(3)

licences,

Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 fixes the
term of validity of export
in particular for
products processed from maize. That term of validity
extends to the end of the fourth month following that of
issue of the licence. The term of validity is fixed in
accordance with market requirements and the need for
sound management.

The current situation on the maize market makes it
desirable to limit the issuing of licences in order to avoid
committing quantities from the new marketing year.
Licences to be issued in forthcoming months must be
reserved for exports before the end of August 2000. To
that end, the term of validity of export licences to be
issued for execution up to 31 August 2000 must be
limited. A temporary derogation should accordingly be
introduced to Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1162/
95.

Article 1

1.
Notwithstanding Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No
1162/95, export licences for products referred to in the Annex
applied for from the date of entry into force of this Regulation
to 25 August 2000 shall be valid until 31 August 2000 only.

Customs export formalities for the above licences must

2.
be completed by 31 August 2000 at the latest.

That deadline shall also apply to the formalities referred to in
Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 3665/87 in respect of
products placed under the arrangements referred to in Regula-
tion (EEC) No 565/80 under cover of such licences.

One of the following shall be entered in Section 22 of the
licences:

In order to ensure sound management of the market and
to prevent speculation, provision should be made for
customs export formalities for export licences for prod-
ucts processed from maize to be completed by 31
August 2000 at the latest either as direct exports or
exports under the arrangements laid down in Articles 4
and 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 of 4
March 1980 on the advance payment of export refunds
