Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of

Article 27(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001
provides that the differences between the prices in inter-
national trade for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a),
(c),
(g) and (h) of that Regulation and prices
within the Community may be covered by an export
refund where these products are exported in the form

Commission Regulation
30 June 2005 implementing Council Regulation (EC)
No 3448/93 as regards the system of granting export
refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the
form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and
the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds, and
the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (2),
specifies the products for which a rate of refund is to
be fixed, to be applied where these products are exported
in the form of goods listed in Annex V to Regulation
(EC) No 1260/2001.

(3)

In accordance with the first paragraph of Article 14 of
Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005, the rate of the refund
per 100 kilograms for each of the basic products in
question is to be fixed each month.

Article 27(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 lays
down that the export refund for a product contained
in goods may not exceed the refund applicable to that
product when exported without further processing.

The refunds fixed under this Regulation may be fixed in
advance as the market situation over
few
months cannot be established at the moment.

The commitments entered into with regard to refunds
which may be granted for the export of agricultural
products contained in goods not covered by Annex I
to the Treaty may be jeopardised by the fixing in
advance of high refund rates. It is therefore necessary
in such situations
to take precautionary measures
without, however, preventing the conclusion of
long-
term contracts. The fixing of a specific refund rate for
the advance fixing of refunds is a measure which enables
these various objectives to be met.
