1 . Pursuant to Article 17 ( l ) of Regulation (EEC ) NO 804/68 refunds may­
    be granted to enable the export of milk products either in unprocessed
    form , or in the form of goods listed in the Annex .
2.  The purpose of this Regulation is to include heading No 22.09 of "the
    Common Customs Tariff in the above-mentioned Annex and to thereby pro­
    vide for the granting of refunds to milk products , in particular cream ,
    which are incorporated to relatively high degrees in goods falling with­
    in the said tariff heading.    In view of the trend in milk product prices
    in international trade and the resultant competition for Community
    industries exporting goods falling within tariff heading No 22.09, "the
    refund will enable milk products of Community origin to be used in the
    manufacture of such goods .
3.  Furthermore , for the sake of clarity of interpretation, amendments have
    been made to the tariff nomenclature of the Annex to Regulation (EEC )
    No 804/68 which it appeared advisable to replace with a new text .

amending the Annex to Regulation (EEC ) NO 804/68 on the common
organization of the market in milk and milk products
THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
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 ,
Whereas pursuant to Article 17(l) of Council Regulation (EEC ) NO 804/68
of 27 June I968 on the common organization of the markets in milk and
milk products^, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) NO 256O/77^» provides
that refunds may be granted to the extent necessary to enable such products
to be exported either in unprocessed form, or in the form of goods listed
in the Annex ;
Whereas , in view of milk product prices in international trade , provision
should be made for the granting of refunds to milk products incorporated
in goods falling within heading No 22.09 of the Common Customs Tariff,
so as to enable industries exporting suoh goods to use milk products of
Community origin; whereas an addition should therefore be made to the Annex
to Regulation (EEC ) NO 804/68;
Whereas furthermore the complete tariff heading No 21.07 is included in
this Annex ; whereas in the new customs nomenclature for agricultural pro­
ducts , adopted in accordance with the recommendation of the Customs Cooperation
Council , the products which fell within subheading 17.05 A are henceforth

    0J No L 303 , 28.11.1977, P. 1
 ---pagebreak--- classified under the new subheading 21.07 F; whereas tariff subheading No 17 .05
A was not included in the Annex to Regulation (EEC ) NO 804/68 and whereas no
refund was granted under this Regulation to milk products exported in the
form of goods falling within this subheading; whereas consequently, for the
 sake of clarity of interpretation, subheading 21.07 F must he specifically
excluded from the Annex to Regulation (EEC ) No 804/68;
Whereas for the same reasons of clarity this Annex should "be replaced "by a new
text ,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :

The Annex to Regulation (EEC ) NO 804/68 is hereby replaced "by the Annex " hereto.

publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

l ) When the budget I978 was drawn up no account was taken of the refunds in
       question. Nevertheless additional expenditure resulting from this measure
       only account for a small percentage of 120 Muc laid down as refunds for goods
       not covered by Annex II of the 1978 budget .
      Moreover, the quantity exported in this way will relieve the Community market
      and should reduce intervention costs (Chap. 62 ).
