Subject : Draft Council Regulation amending Regulations (EEC ) No 2727/75
             on the Common organisation of the market in cereals , No 3330/74 ,
             on the common organisation of the market in sugar , and No 950/68
             on the Common Customs Tariff
1 . The purpose of this proposal is :
    a) to transfer maltodextrines (present CCT heading No 17.02 D II ) cara­
       melised sugars (present CCT heading No 17.02 P) and flavoured malto–
        dextrine syrup (present CCT heading No 21.07 F IV) from the market
        organisation for sugar to that for cereals , and
    b) to extend the possibility of granting production refunds to maize
        "grutten" ( large maize groats ) used for brewing.
2 . Maltodextrine, caramelised sugars and flavoured and maltodextrine syrups
    are , at present , subject to the sugar regime despite their being largely
    derived , particularly in the Community , from maize .  It would , therefore ,
    be appropriate in future for these products to be subject to the cereals
    regime .   One of the effects of making this transfer will be that in any
    export refund which may be granted for any of these products being deri­
    ved from the raw material normally used in its manufacture ( ie maize ).
3 . Maize "grutten" are a larger version of the more usual maize groats ,
    which are widely used throughout the Community for brewing and which
    qualify for production refunds .    The additional notes to the CCT   lay
    down a maximum size of 2 mm for maize groats .    Brewers in certain Member
    States , however , are obliged for technical reasons to use maize flakes
    derived from a product ( grutten) which is fundamentally the same as maize
    groats but which exceeds the maximum size provided for in the CCT notes .
    As a result , this larger product ( grutten) cannot be considered as a maize
    groat and does not , therefore , qualify for a production refund .  It also
    falls under a different tariff heading ; 11.02 B II c as opposed to 11.02
    A V a) 1.    The function of the maize in the brewing process is identical
    whether the groat is over or under 2 mm in size and the brewery * s choice
    between the two depends entirely on its equipment .    It is for this reason
    that it is proposed to extend the possibility of paying production re­
    funds to maize grutten used for brewing .
 ---pagebreak--- The changes described in paragraph 2 involve alterations to the Common
Customs Tariff . The extension of production refunds to grutten necessi­
tates a change in the import levy arrangements for this product which
requires a change in the Common Customs Tariff#

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
and in particular Article 43 thereof , .
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament
                                                                                 2
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee N ' ,
Whereas experience has shown that in the Community maltodextrine , maltodex–
trine syrups and caramelised sugars tend to be derived from cereals ; whereas ,
therefore , it is appropriate that these products should be                        to the
common organisation of the market in cereals ;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 11(1 ) of Council Regulation ( EEC) No 2727/75 ^,
                                                     (4)
as last     amended by' Regulation ( EEC ) 1870 / 80     , a production refund may be
granted     in respect of maize used for the manufacture of maize groats and meal
used in     brewing ; whereas maize " grutten ", which compete for the same outlet
are not     entitled to the same refund ; whereas it is appropriate to introduce
the possibility of granting a production refund in respect of maize employed
for the manufacture of " grutten " used in brewing ;
Whereas these changes necessitate amendments to Council Regulations ( EEC ) No
3330/74 ^, as last amended by Regulation ( EEC ) No 2538/80^;

Subject : Draft Council Regulations amending
           a) regulation (EEC ) No 2742/75 on production refunds in the
               cereals and rice sectors ;
           b ) regulation (EEC ) No 2744/75 on "the import and export system
               for products processed from cereals and from rice 0
lo The purpose of these proposals is , in the case of a)
           – to fix the same rate of production refund on maize used for
              making "grutten" used in "brewing as that available on maize
              used for making groats used for the same purpose
    and in the caseof b)
           – to make the necessary changes to the method of calculating the
              the import levy on maize "grutten" so as to take into account
              the granting of the production refund mentioned at a) above
           – to extend to caramelised sugars , maltodextrine and maltodextrine
              syrups the import and export system for products processed from
              cereals and from rice following .their incorporation in the market
              organisation for cereals .
2 , The justifications for taking these measures are described in the explar-
    nation memorandum relating to the proposed amendment of Regulations(EEC )
    No 2727/75 » No 3330/74 and No 950/68.

                                   and rice sectors
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC ) No 2727/75 °f 29 October 1975 on
 the common organization of the market in cereals            as last amended by
 Regulation (EEC ) No        /80        and in particular Article 11 (4 ) thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas in view of the possibility of substitution in the production of beer
between maize groats and meal on the one hand and maize "grutten" on the
 other , the level of the production refund to be granted on maize used for
 the manufacture of "grutten" for use in the production of beer , should be such
 as to achieve a balance between the cost of supplying the brewing industry
with either maize groats and meal or maize grutten ; whereas this objective
would be achieved by fixing the production refund on maize for the manufac­
 ture of grutten at the same level as that on maize for the manufacture of
 groats and meal ;
 Whereas it is therefore necessary to amend Council Regulation ( EEC ) No
 2742/ 75 ^"^, as last amended by Regulation ( EEC ) No

        of maize used for the manufacture of grutten falling under Tariff
        subheading No 11.02 B II c ), used' by the brewing industry in the
        production of beer ."

Whereas in view of the possibility of substitution in the production of beer
between maize groats and meal on the one hand and maize "grutten" on the
other , the level of the production refund to be granted on maize used for
the manufacture of "grutten" for use in the production of beer , should be such
as to achieve a balance between the cost of supplying the brewing industry
with either maize groats and meal or maize grutten ; whereas this objective
would be achieved by fixing the production refund on maize for the manufac­
ture of grutten at the same level as that on maize for the manufacture of
groats and meal ;
