Notice to Exporters

(2003/C 149/11)

Exporters' attention is drawn to the fact that as a result of bilateral negotiations recently concluded
between the European Union on the one part, and the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania,
Hungary, Slovenia and Slovakia respectively on the other, a number of goods listed in Annexes B and
C of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 will cease to be eligible for the payment of export
refunds when exported to these destinations.

These agreements will enter into force on 1 July 2003.

Exporters should also be aware that ongoing bilateral negotiations between the European Union, on the
one part, and Malta, Cyprus, and Poland respectively on the other, will most likely lead to further bilateral
agreements which will also exclude goods listed in Annexes B and C of Commission Regulation (EC) No
1520/2000 from eligibility for the payment of export refunds when exported to these destinations.
