COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1111/2002

of 26 June 2002

setting export refunds on products processed from fruit and vegetables other than those granted
for added sugar

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

sulting from agreements concluded in accordance with
Article 300 of the Treaty.

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Commu-
nity,

(5)

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 of 28
October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in
products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as
last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 2699/2000 (2), and in particu-
lar Article 16(3),

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1429/95 (3), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1962/2001 (4), sets im-
plementing rules for export refunds on products pro-
cessed from fruit and vegetables.

Article 16(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 states that,
to the extent necessary to permit exports in economic-
ally significant quantities of the products referred to in
Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation, on the basis of prices
for those products in international trade, the difference
between those prices and prices in the Community may
be covered by export refunds; Article 18(4) of Regulation
(EC) No 2201/96 provides that, if the refund on sugar
incorporated into the products listed in Article 1(1) is in-
sufficient to allow export of the products, the refund
fixed in accordance with Article 17 is to be applicable to
those products.

Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 states that
refunds must be fixed with regard to the existing situa-
tion and outlook for prices for products processed from
fruit and vegetables on the Community market and sup-
ply availability, on the one hand, and prices in interna-
tional trade on the other hand. Account must also be ta-
ken of the costs indicated at (b) in that paragraph and of
the economic aspect of the envisaged exports.

(4)

Refunds are, pursuant to Article 16(1) of Regulation (EC)
No 2201/96, to be set with due regard to the limits re-

Article 17(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 states that
prices on the Community market are to be determined
taking account of those most favourable from the expor-
tation standpoint; whereas international trade prices are
to be determined account taken of the prices indicated in
the second subparagraph of that paragraph.

(6)

(8)

(9)

(10)

(11)

The international trade situation or the special require-
ments of certain markets may make it necessary to vary
the refund on a given product depending on the destina-
tion of that product.

Economically significant exports can be made at the pre-
sent time of provisionally preserved cherries, peeled to-
matoes, preserved cherries, prepared hazelnuts and some
orange juices.

Application of the rules mentioned above to the present
and forecast market situation, in particular to prices of
products processed from fruit and vegetables in the
Community and in international trade, leads to the re-
fund rates set in the Annex hereto.

Pursuant to Article 16(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/
96, the most efficient possible use should be made of the
resources available without creating discrimination be-
tween traders. Therefore, care should be taken not to dis-
turb the trade flows previously induced by the refund ar-
rangements.

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (5), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1007/2002 (6), estab-
lishes an agricultural product nomenclature for export
refunds.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 (7), as
amended by Regulation (EC) No 2299/2001 (8),
lays
down common detailed rules for the application of the
system of import and export licences and advance fixing
certificates for agricultural products.
