THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof,

Whereas:

(2) The body responsible for carrying out those trials and tests has informed the Commission that work has progressed more rapidly than expected and that, due to a proper development of plants being observed during the years 2005 to 2007, it now expects all relevant observations required by the call for projects published on 21 June 2004 (3) to be completed by the end of 2008 instead of 2009.

1.   Export refunds as provided for in Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the conditions provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article.
