Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 of 28

Whereas:

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1429/95 (2) set imple-
menting rules for export refunds on products processed
from fruit and vegetables other than those granted for
added sugar.

Article 16(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 states that
to the extent necessary to permit exportation of econom-
ically significant quantities export refunds can be granted
on the products listed at Article 1(2)(a) of that Regulation
within the limits ensuing from agreements concluded in
line with Article 300 of the Treaty. Article 18(4) of that
Regulation provides that if the refund on the sugar incor-
porated in the products listed in Article 1(2)(b) is insuf-
ficient to allow exportation of these products the refund
set in line with Article 17 thereof shall apply to them.

Article 16(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 requires
that it be ensured that trade flows that have already
arisen as a result of granting of export refunds are not
disturbed. For that reason the quantities should be set
product by product using the agricultural product
nomenclature
by
Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3).

The international trade situation or specific requirements
of certain markets may make it necessary to differentiate
the refund on a given product by destination.

Economically significant exports can at present be made
of provisionally preserved cherries, peeled tomatoes,
sugar-preserved cherries, prepared hazelnuts and certain
orange juices.

Export refund rates and quantities should therefore be set
for these products.
