COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 1006/86
of 25 March 1986
amending Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 on the common organization of the market in cereals with regard to arrangements for production refunds
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Article 11 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3793/85 (5), makes provision for the granting of production refunds for starch from cereals, potato starch, maize groats and meal used by the brewing industry and for the manufacture of glucose, and Quellmehl intended for bread-making, with the aim of ensuring that industry has access to basic products at lower prices than result from applying the system of levies and common prices;
Whereas the present arrangements regarding production refunds have proved inappropriate to developments in the starch sector; whereas it is advisable to restrict production refunds to starch from cereals and potatoes used for the manufacture of products covered by import arrangements which provide insufficient protection for those products;
Whereas, to facilitate adjustment to the new situation for those sectors of starch production which will no longer be eligible for the production refund under the new arrangements, it is necessary to provide for a transitional period;
Whereas in order to take account of the special situation of the potato-starch industry, provision should be made for a procedure to take any measures considered necessary in this sector,
