Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3448/93 of 6 December 1993 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products(1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2491/98(2), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 8(3) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1222/94 of 30 May 1994 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 701/2000(4), and in particular Article 6b(6) and (8) thereof,

(2) A reduction coefficient calculated on the basis of Article 6b(3) and (4) should therefore be applied to amounts requested in the form of certificates during the abovementioned week,
