THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in pigmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1249/89 (2), and in particular Articles 15 (6) and 22 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2768/75 of 29 October 1975 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on pigmeat and criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (3), and in particular Article 7 (3) thereof,
Whereas the purchase of certain quantities of pigmeat products in the Community by Russia, the Ukraine and Belarus should be facilitated; whereas, to this end, provision should be made for the grant of a special export refund for these destinations  provided certain conditions are met;
Whereas, notwithstanding Articles 1 and 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1700/84 of 18 June 1984 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of certificates of advance fixing of refunds in the pigmeat sector (4), as last  amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2440/89 (5), provision should be made that refunds must be fixed in advance for control purposes and the amount of the security should be increased; whereas it is appropriate to fix a deadline for the lodging of  advance-fixing applications in order to accelerate the execution of the operations;
Whereas products which have already benefited from aid for private storage pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 650/93 of 19 March 1993 on special conditions for the granting of private storage aid for pigmeat (6) should not be eligible for the  special refund so as to prevent the unwarranted combination of two measures to assist the same product;
Whereas it is appropriate to provide for the necessary measures to assure, in view of budgetary constraints, respect for the total quantity of 40 000 tonnes and to lay down the details concerning the lodging of the advance-fixing applications;
Whereas it is appropriate, in the interest of the operators, to provide for the possibility to withdraw the application for certificates after the fixing of a coefficient of reduction;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Pigmeat,
