COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1832/2000

of 29 August 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,

(5)

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 1666/
2000 (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 last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1667/2000 (4),
and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(2)

(3)

(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 1520/2000 of 13 July
2000 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), specifies the products for which a rate
of refund should be fixed, to be applied where these
products 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 1520/2000, 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,
however, preventing the
long-term
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 (6), it is necessary to differentiate the refund
on goods falling within CN codes 1902 11 00 and
1902 19 according to their destination.

Pursuant to Article 4(3) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No
1520/2000 provides that a reduced rate of export
refund has to be fixed, taking account of the amount of
the production refund applicable, pursuant to Council
Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 (7), as last amended by
Commission Regulation (EC) No 87/1999 (8), for the
basic product
in question, used during the assumed
period of manufacture of the goods.

the Act of Accession of

Spirituous beverages are considered less sensitive to the
price of the cereals used in their manufacture. However,
the United
Protocol 19 of
Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark stipulates that the neces-
sary measures must be decided to facilitate the use of
Community cereals in the manufacture of spirituous
beverages obtained from cereals. Accordingly, it is neces-
the refund rate applying to cereals
sary to adapt
exported in the form of spirituous beverages.

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-
set by its
ered an opinion within the time limit

Article 2

Where a refund certificate issued before 14 July 2000 is used,
and with regard to the goods listed in the Annex to Regulation
(EEC) No 1722/1993, a reduced rate of refund which takes
account of the amount of the production refund shall apply.

However, if, at the time the export declaration is accepted and,
in support of his application for payment of the export refund,
the operator provides proof that, with regard to the basic
products used to manufacture the goods to be exported, the
production refund provided for under Regulation (EEC) No
1722/93 has not been and will not be applied for, the rate of

refund which does not take account of the amount of the
production refund shall apply.

The proof referred to in the previous paragraph shall consist of
the presentation by the exporter of a declaration by the
processor of the basic product in question which attests that,
with regard to this product, the production refund provided for
under Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 has not been and will not
be applied for. This declaration shall be verified in accordance
with Article 16(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000.

This Regulation shall enter into force on 30 August 2000.

Article 3

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
