Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 provides that
when refunds are being fixed account must be taken of
the existing situation and the future trend with regard to
prices and availabilities of cereals, rice and broken rice on
the Community market on the one hand and prices for
cereals, rice, broken rice and cereal products on the
world market on the other. The same Articles provide
that it is also important to ensure equilibrium and the
natural development of prices and trade on the markets
in cereals and rice and, furthermore, to take into account
the economic aspect of the proposed exports, and the
need to avoid disturbances on the Community market.

Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1518/95 (3)
on the import and export system for products processed
from cereals and from rice defines the specific criteria to
be taken into account when the refund on these products
is being calculated.

The refund to be granted in respect of certain processed
products should be graduated on the basis of the ash,
crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch content of

the individual product concerned, this content being a
particularly good indicator of
the quantity of basic
product actually incorporated in the processed product.
