of 10 October 2000

fixing the export refunds on pigmeat

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29
October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in
pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1365/
2000 (2), and in particular the second paragraph of Article
13(3) thereof,

Whereas:

Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides
that the difference between prices on the world market
for the products listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulation
and prices for these products within the Community
may be covered by an export refund.

that the refund is granted only for the net weight of the
edible substances, to the exclusion of the net weight of
the bones possibly contained in the said preparations.

Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides
that the world market situation or the specific require-
ments of certain markets may make it necessary to vary
the refund on the products listed in Article 1(1) of
Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 according to destination.

The refunds should be fixed taking account of
the
amendments to the refund nomenclature established by
Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1000/2000 (4).

Refunds should be granted only on products that are
allowed to circulate freely within the Community. There-
fore, to be eligible for a refund, products should be
required to bear the health mark laid down in Council
Directive 64/433/EEC (5), as last amended by Directive
95/23/EC (6), Council Directive 94/65/EC (7) and Council
Directive 77/99/EEC (8), as last amended by Directive
97/76/EC (9).
