COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1342/2003

of 28 July 2003

laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences
for cereals and rice

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30
June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in
cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1104/
2003 (2), and in particular Article 9(2) and Article 13(11)
thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) 3072/95 of 22
December 1995 on the common organisation of the market in
rice (3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No
411/2002 (4), and in particular Article 9(2) and Article 13
thereof,

Whereas:

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 of 23 May
1995 laying down special detailed rules for the applica-
tion of the system of import and export licences for
cereals and rice (5) has been substantially amended
several times (6). In the interests of clarity and rationality
the said Regulation should be codified.

In view of the practices specific to trade in cereals and
rice, provision should be made for rules further to or
derogating from Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/
2000 of 9 June 2000 laying down common detailed
rules for the application of the system of import and
export licences and advance-fixing certificates for agri-
cultural products (7), as last amended by Regulation (EC)
No 325/2003 (8).

In the case of invitations to tender for the export of
intervention stocks, licences should specify the quantities
and destinations for which they are issued and provision
should be made for the special particulars to be shown
on export licences, in particular in the case of invitations
to tender for export refunds, of exports of cereal-based
compound feedingstuffs and of advance fixing of export
taxes.

The terms of validity of import and export licences for
the various products should be fixed in accordance with
market requirements and the need for sound manage-
ment. In view of competition on the world market, a
specially lengthy term of validity should be granted for
malt exports, expiring, however, on 30 September in the
case of licences issued prior to 1 July so that export

In view of the risk of licences being issued for exces-
sively high quantities, provision should be made for a
period for reflection of
three days to elapse before
export licences are actually issued for any cereals and
most processed cereal products, other than exports, non-
commercial exports made with a view to providing
Community or national food aid, and certain supplies by
humanitarian agencies.

The Commission's decision not to grant an application
for an export certificate at the end of the three-day

the continuity of supplies of products in respect of

Certain provisions of Article 49 of Regulation (EC) No
1291/2000 concerning applications for export licences
for certain products in connection with invitations to
tender organised in importing third countries should be
made more restrictive and thus more in keeping with
commercial practice in the cereals trade.

In view of the competition on the world market for
cereals and rice, provision should be made for export
licences to be granted for the main products, including
durum wheat, with a special term of validity and for
relatively large minimum quantities, with more advanta-
geous minimum quantities for exports to the African,
Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) States. The licences should
be granted subject
to certain additional conditions
in particular, presentation of the delivery

to the competent agency within a specified
time.

The securities to be lodged for import and export
licences should be fixed at different levels for the various
product groups according to the possible variations in
the refund or export tax during the term of validity of
the licences, preferential
treatment being granted in
respect of deliveries to ACP States.

(10)

The applicable export refunds should be specified in
cases where the terms of validity of licences are extended
as a result of force majeure pursuant to Article 41 of
Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000.

notify the Commission, which shall take a decision in accor-
dance with the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation
(EEC) No 1766/92 or Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/
95. Where the Commission accepts an application, it shall in
particular set a time limit for presentation of the contract to
the competent authority. The latter shall inform the applicant
of the Commission's decision.

4. Where the term of validity fixed for the licence is the
same as that applied for, the applicant shall, within the time
limit set in accordance with paragraph 3, submit to the compe-
tent authority a signed original of the contract, together with a
copy thereof. The contract shall specify at least the quantity
covered, which must fall within the minimum and maximum
quantities indicated in the licence application, the destination,
the period within which export is to be carried out (which
must fall within the minimum and maximum periods indi-
cated), the price fixed for the duration of the contract and the
terms of payment. The licence shall then be issued after the
security provided for in Article 9(1) of Regulation (EEC) No
1766/92 or Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 has
been lodged. The country (or countries within a single group)
of destination shall be shown in section 7 and the licence shall
carry with it an obligation to export to that country or coun-
tries. However, up to 10 % of the quantities shown on the
licence may be delivered under the contract to another country
indicated in Annex III as falling within the same group.

Where the applicant is unable to conclude such a contract, he
shall so inform the competent authority within the time limit
set for submission of the contract and the licence shall not be
issued.

Except in cases of force majeure, where the applicant does

5.
not comply with paragraph 4, no licence shall be issued.

6. Where the term of validity fixed is different from that
applied for but is longer than that laid down in Article 7, para-
graphs 4 and 5 of this Article shall apply. However, the appli-
cant may, within the time limit set for submission of the
contract, withdraw his application for a licence.

7. Where an application for an extension of the term of
validity as provided for in Article 7 is rejected, no licence shall
be issued.

Licences issued under the conditions laid down in this

8.
Article shall not be subject to the provisions of Article 8(1).

and (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, exclusive of any
monthly increases referred to in paragraph 1, with the excep-

set out in paragraph 1, by the monthly increase applying to the
new marketing year.

(b) of that Regulation with the exception of maize and grain
sorghum shall be adjusted, during the months of August to
May of the same marketing year, by an amount equal to the
monthly increase applicable to the intervention price fixed for
that marketing year.

In the case of maize and grain sorghum, the refunds shall be
adjusted, during the months of November of one marketing
year to August of the following marketing year, by an amount
equal to the monthly increase applicable to the intervention
prices fixed for the marketing year concerned.

adjustments shall apply each month.

(c) the month of August shall be replaced by November;

The amount of the refund applying in accordance with
2.
Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 for the products
listed in Article 1(1)(a) and (b) of that Regulation shall be
adjusted in the months from October to July inclusive by an
amount equal to the monthly increase applying to the interven-
tion price for paddy rice fixed for that marketing year, based

apply where the amount of the refund is equal to zero.

4. Where the term of validity of the licence extends beyond
the marketing year and export occurs in the

following marketing year,
refunds, excluding the monthly
increases referred to in paragraph 2, shall be reduced by the
break in the intervention price for paddy rice between the two
marketing years, based on the processing stage and the applic-
able processing coefficient.

This price break shall occur on 1 September and shall be
defined as:

(a) the difference between the intervention price for paddy rice,
exclusive of any monthly increase for the previous and the
new marketing years;

(b) an amount equal to the monthly increase multiplied by the
number of months elapsing between October and the
month of the licence application, inclusive.

These two factors shall be converted using the relevant proces-
sing coefficient applicable at the time the product is exported.

Where the price break is greater than the refund in question,
the corrected refund shall be reduced to zero.

Refunds shall be reduced by (a) and (b) of the second subpara-
graph, on the basis of the milling stage and shall be increased
