                             EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This proposal for a regulation is one of the adaptations resulting from
amendment of Regulation ( EEC ) No 2727 /75 on the common organisation of the
market in cereals .
This amendment provided the legal basis for granting export refunds on
cereals used for manufacture of certain spirituous beverages .
The spirituous beverages so obtained must be exported without, further
processing , such as whisky , gin , etc .   Some spirituous beverages , such as
liqueurs within subheading 22.09 C V of the Common Customs Tariff and
obtained from a spirituous beverage for which a refund is available , are
hot covered by the said provisions .      .                  '
The object of this proposal is to fill that gap by providing for grant of
an export refund for the grain spirit contained in the spirituous beverages
which are not covered .
No financial statement is attached , since the Commission proposals vAiich
resulted in Regulations ( EEC ) Noll87 /8l , and 1118 /81 on the refunds
granted for cereals employed in manufacture of spirituous beverages for ;
export , included a financial statement which covered all cereals employed
in manufacture of the spirituous beverages , whether exported without
further processing or as mixtures .            ■ ■      .                       *
