Council Regulation No 366/67 lays down the rules for granting export
refunds on rioe so as to permit the disposal of Community surpluses
to third countries . Until now this disposal was carried out at the
level of the restitution without any quantitative limitation .
In a period of uncertainty or of significant fluctuation in the price
on the world market it is important to ensure a more orderly management
of exports , an objective which could "be achieved by fixing the restitution
by means of tendering.
Article 7 of Regulation Ho 366/67 /CEC provides for the weekly fixing of
export refunds for rice and broken rice .
Effective management of the market does not require the maintenance of
this interval in all cases .
