Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1587/96 (2), and in particular Article 17(14) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1353/98 (4), establishes an agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds based on the Combined Nomenclature; whereas the footnotes to Sector 9 of the Annex to that Regulation lay down rules to be followed when granting and calculating refunds on milk and milk products; whereas, under those rules, milk products containing permeate are not eligible for a refund; whereas it should be specified that that rule also applies to products consisting solely of permeate;
Whereas, to avoid problems in trade, the obligation to declare the actual content of added substances which are ineligible for the grant of a refund during customs formalities should be replaced by the obligation to declare a maximum content of such added substances;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
