COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1619/93 of 25 June 1993 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 regarding the arrangements applicable to cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF  THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), and in particular Article 11 and 13 thereof,
Whereas the preparations covered by CN code 2309 fall, depending on their composition, either within the scope of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 or within that of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market  in milk and milk products (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2071/92 (3); whereas the levy to be collected on products falling within the scope of the former Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 consists of a fixed component and a variable component, of  which the latter may be calculated taking account also of ingredients of animal-feed preparations containing products not covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92, by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 of 21 June 1976 on the common organization of the  market in rice (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1544/93 (5), or by Regulation (EEC) No 804/68;
Whereas the variable component of the levy must be determined on the basis of the commonest ingredients of preparations used in animal feeding, namely cereals and milk products; whereas it follows that the variable component should consist of two  standard amounts, each representing one of those categories of products; whereas the standard amount representing milk products should take account of the levies fixed in accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 and its implementing regulations;
Whereas maize and skimmed-milk powder (spray process) are among the raw materials most commonly used in the manufacture of compound feedingstuffs; whereas, therefore, the levies applicable to them should be used as a basis for calculating the standard  amounts making up the variable component;
Whereas the fixed component of the levy must be determined with a view to the need to protect the processing industry; whereas that component should be calculated on the basis of the most representative processing costs;
Whereas Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides for the possibility of an export refund being granted on the products listed in Annex A thereto; whereas that refund is intended in particular to offset the difference between the prices for  basic products within the Community and the rates prevailing on the world market; whereas general rules on the granting of the refund should be laid down;
Whereas the refund should as a general rule be that applicable on the day the transaction is effected; whereas, however, in view of the requirements of the international market for compound feedingstuffs, provision should be made for the possibility of  fixing the refund in advance;
Whereas, since Council Regulation (EEC) No 2743/75 (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 944/87 (7), is repealed with effect from 1 July 1993, this Regulation should incorporate its provisions, whilst adjusting them to present market conditions;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
