		COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 598/2000of 17 March 2000fixing the export refunds on beef and vealTHE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal [1], and in particular Article 33(12) thereof,Whereas:(1) Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.(2) Regulation (EEC) No 32/82 [2], as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2326/97 [3], Regulation (EEC) No 1964/82 [4], as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1452/1999 [5], and Regulation (EEC) No 2388/84 [6], as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3661/92 [7], lay down the conditions for granting special export refunds on certain cuts of beef and veal and certain preserved beef and veal products.(3) It follows from applying those rules and criteria to the foreseeable situation on the market in beef and veal that the refund should be as set out below.(4) Given the current market situation in the Community and the possibilities of disposal in certain third countries in particular, export refunds should be granted, on the one hand, on bovine animals intended for slaughter of a live weight greater than 220 kilograms and less than 300 kilograms, and, on the other on adult bovine animals of a live weight of at least 300 kilograms.(5) Export refunds should be granted for certain destinations on some fresh or chilled meat listed in the Annex I under CN code 0201, on some frozen meat listed in the Annex I under CN code 0202, on some meat or offal listed in the Annex I under CN code 0206 and on some other prepared or preserved meat or offal listed in the Annex I under CN code 16025010.(6) In view of the wide differences in products covered by CN codes 0201 20 90 700 and 0202 20 90 100 used for refund purposes, refunds should only be granted on cuts in which the weight of bone does not exceed one third.(7) In the case of meat of bovine animals, boned or boneless, salted and dried, there are traditional trade flows to Switzerland. To allow this trade to continue, the refund should be set to cover the difference between prices on the Swiss market and export prices in the Member States; whereas there are possibilities for exporting such meat and also salted, smoked and dried meat to certain African, Near and Middle Eastern countries. A refund should accordingly be set.(8) In the case of certain other cuts and preserves of meat or offal shown in Annex I under CN codes 16025031 to 16025080, the Community share of international trade may be maintained by granting a refund corresponding to that at present available.(9) In the case of other beef and veal products, a refund need not be fixed since the Community's share of world trade is not significant.(10) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 [8], as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2765/1999 [9], establishes the agricultural product nomenclature for the purposes of export refunds.(11) In order to simplify customs export formalities for operators, the refunds on all frozen cuts should be brought into line with those on fresh or chilled cuts other than those from adult male bovine animals.(12) Experience has shown that in certain cases it is often difficult to determine the relevant quantities of beef, veal and other meat contained in prepared or preserved meat falling within CN code 160250. Exclusively beef and veal products should accordingly be set apart and a new heading should be created for mixtures of meats or offals; whereas checks on products other than mixtures of meat or offal should be stepped up by making the granting of refunds on these products conditional on manufacture under the arrangements provided for in Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 of 4 March 1980 on the advance payment of export refunds in respect of agricultural products [10], as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2026/83 [11].(13) Refunds on female animals should vary depending on their age in order to prevent abuses in the export of certain pure-bred breeding animals.(14) Opportunities exist for the export to certain third countries of heifers other than those intended for slaughter, but to prevent any abuse control criteria should be laid down to ensure that these animals are not more than 36 months old.(15) Notwithstanding the subdivision of the combined nomenclature for prepared and preserved meat, other than uncooked, falling within CN code 160250, experience has shown that it is possible to delete from the refund nomenclature several products falling within CN code 16025031 and to amend the list of products falling within CN code 16025080.(16) The Management Committee for beef and veal has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:Article 11. The list of products on which export refunds as referred to in Article 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 are granted and the amount thereof shall be as set out in Annex I of this Regulation.2.

The products must meet the relevant health marking requirements of:- Chapter XI of Annex I to Directive 64/433/EEC,- Chapter VI of Annex I to Directive 94/65/EC,- Chapter VI of Annex B to Directive 77/99/EEC.Article 2The grant of the refund for product code 010290599000 of the nomenclature for export refunds and for exports to the third countries in zone 10 listed in Annex II to this Regulation shall be subject to presentation, when the customs formalities for export are completed, of the original and one copy of the veterinary certificate signed by an official veterinarian certifying that these are heifers of an age of not more than 36 months. The original of the certificate shall be returned to the exporter and the copy, certified as being in accordance with the regulations by the customs authorities, shall be attached to the application for payment of the refund.Article 3This Regulation shall enter into force on 18 March 2000.However, Article 1(3) shall apply to payment declarations as referred to in Article 26(1) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 and export declarations as referred to in Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 accompanied by an export licence issued after 3 March 2000.This Regulation shall be binding in its
