the evolution of

information communicated

In light of
information technology
systems and the ongoing requirement of the Commis-
sion to have at its disposal improved statistical informa-
tion, it is appropriate to adapt the format and scope of
the
to the
Commission in accordance with Commission Regulation
(EC) No 3223/93 of 25 November 1993 on statistical

on certain agricultural products exported in the form of
goods covered by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3035/
80 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1432/
96 (4).

Having regard to the improvement of information tech-
nology it is no longer useful to manipulate statistical
information in groups of products. The communication
of that information in groups of products should there-
fore no longer be required.

Article 17(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/
2000 of 13 July 2000 laying down common detailed
rules for the application of the system of 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
such
refunds (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
1052/2002 (6), has expanded the range of goods and
lowered the threshold for declaring whether these goods
contain a high percentage of certain milk products.
Regulation (EC) No 3223/93 should be adapted to
reflect this change.
