of 26 November 2001
amending Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products, and Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 9(2) and Article 13(11) thereof, and to the corresponding provisions of the other regulations on the common organisation of the markets in agricultural products,
Whereas:
(1) Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2298/2001 of 26 November 2001 laying down detailed rules for the export of products supplied as food aid(3), stipulates that an export licence with advance fixing of the refund must be presented for exports in the context of food-aid operations for which a refund is sought. The relevant provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 90/2001(5), and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000(6), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1095/2001(7), should therefore be amended.
(2) Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 excludes certain operations from the requirement to produce a licence, including the operations covered by Articles 36, 40 and 44 of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999. The reference made in Article 24(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 to the licences for these operations does not therefore apply and must be deleted as a result.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinions of all the Management Committees concerned,
