the

Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides that
the difference between prices on the world market for
the products listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulation and
prices for these products within the Community may be
covered by an export refund.

amount which takes account of the qualitative character-
istics of each of the products falling within these codes
and of the foreseeable trend of production costs on the
world market. It is important that the Community should
continue to take part in international trade in the case of
certain typical
Italian products falling within CN code
0210 19 81.

Because of the conditions of competition in certain third
countries, which are traditionally importers of products
falling within CN codes 1601 00 and 1602, the refund
for these products should be fixed so as to take this
situation into account. Steps should be taken to ensure
that the refund is granted only for the net weight of the
edible substances, to the exclusion of the net weight of
the bones possibly contained in the said preparations.

Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 provides that
the world market situation or the specific requirements
of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the
refund on the products listed in Article 1 of Regulation
(EEC) No 2759/75 according to destination.
