COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 118/2003

of 23 January 2003

fixing the export refunds on beef and veal and amending Regulations (EEC) No 3846/87 estab-
lishing an agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds and (EC) No 1445/95 on rules of
application for import and export licences in the beef and veal sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(5)

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17
May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef
and veal (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC)
No 2345/2001 (2), and in particular Article 33(12) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 provides
that the difference between prices on the world market
for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation
and prices for those products within the Community
may be covered by an export refund.

Regulation (EEC) No 32/82 (3), as last amended by Regu-
lation (EC) No 744/2000 (4), Regulation (EEC) No 1964/
82 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2772/
2000 (6), and Regulation (EEC) No 2388/84 (7), as last
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3661/92 (8), lay down
the conditions for granting special export refunds on
certain cuts of beef and veal and certain preserved beef
and veal products.

(3)

It follows from applying those rules and criteria to the
foreseeable situation on the market in beef and veal that
the refund should be as set out below.

(4) With regard to live animals, for reasons of simplification
export refunds should no longer be granted for cate-
gories with insignificant
trade with third countries.
Moreover,
in light of the general concern of animal
welfare, export refunds for live animals for slaughter
should be limited as much as possible. Consequently,
export refunds for such animals should only be granted
for third countries which for cultural and/or religious
reasons
substantial numbers of
animals for domestic slaughter. As to live animals for
in order to prevent any abuse export
reproduction,
refunds for pure-bred breeding animals should be limited
to heifers and cows of no more than 30 months of age.

Export refunds should be granted for certain destinations
on some fresh or chilled meat listed in the Annex under
CN code 0201, on some frozen meat listed in the Annex
under CN code 0202, on some meat or offal listed in
the Annex under CN code 0206 and on some other
prepared or preserved meat or offal listed in the Annex
under CN code 1602 50 10.

In view of the wide differences in products covered by
CN codes 0201 20 90 9700 and 0202 20 90 9100 used
for refund purposes, refunds should only be granted on
cuts in which the weight of bone does not exceed one
third.

In the case of meat of bovine animals, boned or bone-
less, salted and dried, there are traditional trade flows to
Switzerland. To allow this trade to continue, the refund
should be set to cover the difference between prices on
the Swiss market and export prices in the Member
States.

In the case of certain other cuts and preserves of meat
shown in the Annex under CN codes
or offal
1602 50 31 to 1602 50 80, the Community presence of
international trade may be maintained by granting a
refund corresponding to that at present available.

In the case of other beef and veal products, a refund
need not be fixed since the Community's share of world
trade is not significant.

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (9), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 2319/2002 (10), estab-
lishes the agricultural product nomenclature for the
purposes of export refunds. Following the introduction
of refunds for pure-bred breeding female animals of
maximum 30 months of age, the product nomenclature
referred to above should be modified.

Checks on products covered by CN code 1602 50
should be stepped up by making the granting of refunds
on these products conditional on manufacture under the
arrangements provided for in Article 4 of Council Regu-
lation (EEC) No 565/80 of 4 March 1980 on the
advance payment of export refunds in respect of agricul-
tural products (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No
2026/83 (2).

Refunds should be granted only on products that are
allowed to move freely in the Community. Therefore, to
be eligible for a refund, products should be required to
bear the health mark laid down in Council Directive 64/
433/EEC (3), as last amended by Directive 95/23/EC (4),
Council Directive 94/65/EC (5) and Council Directive 77/
99/EEC (6), as last amended by Directive 97/76/EC (7),
respectively.

(14) Under Article 6(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1964/82, the
special refund is to be reduced if the quantity of boned
meat to be exported amounts to less than 95 %, but not
less than 85 %, of the total weight of cuts produced by
boning.

(15)

The negotiations on the adoption of additional conces-
sions, held within the framework of the Europe Agree-
ments between the European Community and the asso-
ciated Central and Eastern European Countries, aim in
particular to liberalise trade in products covered by the
common organisation of the market in beef and veal.
On this background, Romania should be removed from
the list of destinations giving rise to the grant of a
refund. The abolition of refunds may not, however, lead
to the creation of a differentiated refund for exports to
other countries.

(16)

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

shall be reduced by EUR 14,00/100 kg.

The fact that no refund has been fixed for exports to Estonia,
Lithuania, Latvia, Hungary and Romania shall not be consid-
