Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 and Article
14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 provide that the
difference between quotations or prices on the world
market for the products listed in Article 1 of each of
those Regulations and the prices within the Community
may be covered by an export refund.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 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
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 III to Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003
or in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1785/2003 as appro-

specifies

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.

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
long-
without, however, preventing the conclusion of

Taking
settlement between the
European Community and the United States of America
on Community exports of pasta products to the United
States, approved by Council Decision 87/482/EEC (4), it
is necessary to differentiate the refund on goods falling
within CN codes 1902 11 00 and 1902 19 according to
their destination.

Pursuant to Article 15(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No
1043/2005, a reduced rate of export refund has to be
fixed, taking account of the amount of the production

(EEC) No 1722/93 (5), for the basic product in question,
