COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1993/2005
of 7 December 2005
on the adjustment of the export refunds on malt under Article 15(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 of 29 September 2003 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 18, first paragraph thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1680/78 of 17 July 1978 on the adjustment of the export refunds on malt under Article 16(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 (2) has been substantially amended (3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.
(2) In the case of barley malt exported during the first three months of the marketing year in respect of which the refund was fixed in advance before 1 July, Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1784/2003 lays down the conditions for adjusting the refund fixed in advance.
(3) It must be ensured that, when such adjustment is to be made, the barley malt exported during the first three months of the marketing year was in stock at the end of the preceding marketing year or was made from barley in stock at that time; whereas the quantities of barley and malt in stock at the end of the marketing year in question must therefore be ascertained. The competent authorities of each Member State should be responsible for ascertaining such quantities and for taking all necessary steps to ensure compliance with the Community provisions concerning the adjustment of export refunds on malt exported during the period under consideration.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Cereal Management Committee,
