COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2287/2000

of 13 October 2000

amending Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 establishing an agricultural product nomenclature for
export refunds and Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 laying down special detailed rules for the
application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 as regards export licences and export refunds in
the case of milk and milk producdts

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17
May 1999 on the common organisation of the markets in milk
and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
1670/2000 (2), and in particular Aricle 31(14) thereof,

certain conditions, a refund is granted for a product
different from that for which the refund was fixed in
advance. That Annex should be adjusted in line with the
proposed amendments.

(5)

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

Whereas:

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

(1)

(2)

(3)

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1000/2000 (4) estab-
lishes, on the basis of the Combined Nomenclature, an
agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds.

The refund nomenclature currently lays down only a
minimum fat content. In view of the adoption by the
Codex Alimentarius Commission, at its session of 28
June to 3 July 1999, of a minimum milk-protein content
for certain milk products that will be generally recog-
nised and applied in international trade, the nomencla-
ture should be amended with the insertion of the same
minimum protein content and a maximum water
content for the products concerned.

In the interests of simplification, those codes relating to
products for which there is no longer a refund or for
which no licence applications have been received since
July 1995 should be deleted. In addition, the refund
granted for skimmed milk powder
incorporated in
certain compound feedingstuffs should be abolished
(and the relevant codes deleted), since those products are
eligible for aid when skimmed milk powder is incor-
porated.

(4)

Annex II
to Commission Regulation (EC) No 174/
1999 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1961/
2000 (6), lays down the product groups for which, on
