REGULATION (EEC) No 1913/69 OF THE COMMISSION  of 29 September 1969  on the granting and the advance fixing of the export refund on cereal-based compound feeding-stuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;
Having regard to Council Regulation No 120/67/EEC (1) of 13 June 1967 on the common organisation of the market in cereals, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1398/69 (2), and in particular Articles 16 (6) and 24 thereof;
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 968/68 (3) of 15 July 1968 on the system to be applied to cereal-based compound feeding-stuffs, and in particular Article 7 (5) thereof;
Whereas in accordance with Article 7 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 968/68, the export refund on cereal-based compound feeding-stuffs must be fixed with reference only to products normally used in their manufacture for which a refund may be fixed;
Whereas for this purpose account should be taken only of products entering into compound feeding-stuffs in such quantity and having such characteristics as are truly representative of the composition of the cereal-based feeding-stuffs in question, for example cereals, cereal flours and unprepared products derived from the milling or treatment of cereals ; and other products which are secondary or insignificant components of this type of feeding-stuffs should be excluded;
Whereas, in order to determine the amount of the refund on these various cereal products, account should be taken of the levies applicable in the month prior to exportation on the one which is the most commonly used in the manufacture of compound feeding-stuffs, namely maize, and which, therefore, has been used for calculating the variable component of the levy;
Whereas adjustment of the refund fixed in advance should be made on the basis of the threshold price for ingredients on which the levy has been based, namely maize ; whereas the adjustment should take into account the cereal products content ; whereas, for the sake of simplicity, the adjustment should be made by applying coefficients corresponding to a grading of compound feeding-stuffs according to their cereal products content;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals;
