REGULATION (EEC) No 1098/68 OF THE COMMISSION  of 27 July 1968  on detailed rules for the application of export refunds on milk and milk products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 1 of 27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products, and in particular Article 17 (4) thereof;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 876/68 2 of 28 June 1968 laid down general rules for granting export refunds on milk and milk products and criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds ; whereas the application of that Regulation calls for certain definitions;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68, aid is granted for skimmed milk powder which is produced in the Community and used as feed ; whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 986/68 3 of 15 July 1968 laying down general rules for granting aid for skimmed milk and skimmed milk powder for use as feed provides that such aid shall be granted only for skimmed milk powder which is denatured or processed into compound feeding-stuffs ; whereas the export refund granted for skimmed milk powder of such kinds, to which sugar or milk fats may have been added, should not be higher than that considered necessary, after taking the aid into account;
Whereas, for products falling within tariff heading No 04.02 compounded of milk and sugar, prices are determined by the prices of their ingredients ; whereas the refund should therefore be fixed on the basis of these ingredients ; whereas, therefore, the percentages of the ingredients should be taken into account in fixing the refund ; whereas the percentage of sucrose may for this purpose be that laid down for the calculation the refund products covered by Article 1 (1) (d) of Council Regulation No 1009/67/EEC 4 of 18 December 1967 on the common organisation of the market in sugar ; whereas, moreover, it seems advisable to limit the refund for the sucrose content to those cases where a refund is granted pursuant to the Regulations in force for sugar;
Whereas certain destination zones should be established in the light of the competitive position, the state of the market and the distances of third countries;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products;
