(2)

Article 8(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 provides

regards

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1043/2005 of 30 June
2005 implementing Council Regulation
(EC) No
3448/93 as
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 (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 I to Regulation
(EEC) No 2771/75.

In accordance with the second 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
the same

duration as that

same products exported unprocessed.

Article 11 of the Agreement on Agriculture concluded
under the Uruguay Round lays down that the export
refund for a product contained in a good may not
exceed the refund applicable to that product when
exported without further processing.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
