COMMISSION REGULATION (EC)  No 2699/95 of 22 November 1995 amending Regulation (EC) No 1222/94 laying down common detailed  rules for the application of the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products  exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing  the amount of such refunds
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade  arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products   (1), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 8 (3) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1222/94  (2), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1149/95   (3), provides for potato starch to be assimilated to maize starch; whereas the aim of that  provision is to allow an export refund to be granted for that product and not necessarily to apply  the same refund rate as that applicable to the export of maize starch;
Whereas the application of the second subparagraph of Article 13 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No  1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals  (4), as last amended  by Regulation (EC) No 1863/95  (5), provides that the export refund for cereals exported in the  form of goods listed in Annex B may not be greater than the refund applied to cereals exported  without further processing; whereas this provision currently results in the lower of the two rates  fixed for exports of potato starch and maize starch when exported without further processing to be  applied to these products when exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty;  whereas it is therefore necessary to amend Regulation (EC) No 1222/94;
Whereas the Management Committee for horizontal questions relating to trade in processed  agricultural products not covered by Annex II of the Treaty has not delivered an opinion within the  time limit set by its chairman,
