COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1213/2000

of 8 June 2000

fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to certain cereal and rice-products exported in the form of
goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty

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 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 organisation of the market in
rice (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2072/98 (4), and in
particular Article 13(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(4)

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

those Regulations

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1222/94 of 30 May
1994 laying down common implementing rules for
granting export refunds on certain agricultural products
exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I
to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of
such refunds (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
701/2000 (6), specifies the products for which a rate of
refund should be fixed, to be applied where these prod-
ucts are exported in the form of goods listed in Annex B
to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or in Annex B to
Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 as appropriate.

In accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 4(1)
of Regulation (EC) No 1222/94, the rate of the refund
per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in
question must be fixed for each month.

The commitments entered into with regard to refunds
which may be granted for the export of agricultural
products contained in goods not covered by Annex I to
the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in advance
of high refund rates. Whereas it is therefore necessary to
take precautionary measures in such situations without,
long-term
however, preventing the

conclusion of

(2) OJ L 160, 26.6.1999, p. 18.

contracts. Whereas the fixing of a specific refund rate for
the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables
these various objectives to be met.

Now that a settlement has been reached between the
European Community and the United States of America
on Community exports of pasta products to the United
States and has been approved by Council Decision
87/482/EEC (7), it is necessary to differentiate the refund
on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and
1902 19 according to their destination.

Article 4(5)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1222/94 provides
that, in the absence of the proof referred to in Article
4(5)(a) of
that Regulation, a reduced rate of export
refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of
the production refund applicable, pursuant to Commis-
sion Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 (8), as last amended
by Regulation (EC) No 87/1999 (9), for the basic product
in question, used during the assumed period of manufac-
ture of the goods.

It is necessary to ensure continuity of strict management
taking account of expenditure forecasts and funds avail-
able in the budget.

The Management Committee for Cereals has not deliv-
ered an opinion within the time limit
set by its
chairman,
