Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EEC) No 821/68 of 28 June 1968 on the definition, applicable to the granting of export refunds, of hulled grains and pearled grains of cereals (2) has been substantially amended several times (3). In the interests of clarity and rationality the said Regulation should be codified.
(2) The export refund should take into account the quality of the product processed from cereals which qualifies for the refund lest public funds contribute to the export of goods of inferior quality.

(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
For the granting of export refunds, pearled grains and hulled grains of cereals shall be those which possess the characteristics listed in Annex I.
Regulation (EEC) No 821/68 is repealed.

Whereas the monetary situation required the introduction of confirmation periods pursuant to  Article 4 (1) and (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 from 24 February 1995 for the Belgian franc  and the Luxembourg franc and from 16 March 1995 for the German mark, the Netherlands guilder and  the Austrian schilling; whereas these periods last 10 days pursuant to the final subparagraph of  Article 2 (3) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1068/93 of 30 April 1993, on detailed rules for  determining and applying the agricultural conversion rates  (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC)  No 157/95  (4);

Whereas the turbulent monetary situation prevents the establishment in the near future of  relatively stable representative market rates and hence agricultural conversion rates, in  particular for the Belgian franc and the Luxembourg franc; whereas, under these circumstances, one  of the confirmation periods should be extended in accordance with Article 1 (b) of Regulation (EEC)  No 3813/92;
Whereas, in order to prevent the existence of large bilateral gaps over long periods, the average  negative monetary gaps should be eliminated every 10 days;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the  Management Committee concerned,
Notwithstanding the final subparagraph of Article 2 (3) of Regulation  (EEC) No 1068/93, the confirmation period commencing on 25 April 1995 shall end on 24 May 1995.
Negative monetary gaps calculated on the basis of the average rates of the ecu during  the previous 10 days shall be reduced to zero by the Commission on 5, 15 and 25 May 1995.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1712/2002(5) fixes refunds under the procedure provided for in the abovementioned paragraph for 5000 tonnes for all destinations R02 and R03 defined in the Annex to that Regulation.
(2) For all destinations R02 and R03, quantities applied for on 22 October 2002 are in excess of the available quantity, a percentage reduction should therefore be fixed for export licence applications submitted on 22 October 2002.
(3) In view of its purpose, this Regulation should take effect from the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities,
For all destinations R02 and R03 defined in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1712/2002, applications for export licences for rice and broken rice with advance fixing of the refund submitted under that Regulation on 22 October 2002 shall give rise to the issue of licences for the quantities applied for to which a percentage reduction of 50,31 % has been applied.

Whereas a list of establishments in Finland, approved for the purposes of the importation of fresh meat into the Community, was drawn up initially by Council Decision 82/731/EEC (5), as last amended by Commission Decision 84/577/EEC (6);
Whereas a routine inspection under Article 5 of Directive 72/462/EEC and Article 3 (1) of Commission Decision 83/196/EEC of 8 April 1983 concerning on-the-spot inspections to be carried out in respect of the importation of bovine animals, swine and fresh meat from non-member countries (7) has revealed that the level of hygiene of certain establishments has altered since the last inspection;

Whereas:
(1) Articles 13 and 14 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1433/2003 of 11 August 2003 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 as regards operational funds, operational programmes and financial assistance(3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1582/2003(4), lay down the final deadline by which the competent national authority must take decisions on programmes and operational funds submitted by producer organisations or on amendments to operational programmes during the year for subsequent years. That date is 15 December of the year in which operational programmes or requests for amendments to operational programmes are submitted.
(2) Article 28 of Regulation (EC) No 1433/2003, laying down transitional provisions, as corrected by Regulation (EC) No 1582/2003, lays down that producer organisations must submit requests for amendments needed to bring operational programmes into line with that Regulation on 15 October 2003 at the latest, rather than 15 September as initially laid down. As a result, the competent national authorities have only two months in which to undertake the checks laid down in Article 12 of that Regulation before taking the decisions provided for in Articles 13 and 14 thereof.
(3) So as not to seriously undermine the effectiveness of the abovementioned checks and to give the competent national authorities a reasonable amount of time to draw up the programmes, for 2003 only the final deadline of 15 December should be waived and the Member States given until 31 January 2004 to take the decisions provided for in Articles 13 and 14 of the above Regulation. The Member States may take measures to permit the eligibility of expenditure from 1 January 2004.
(4) Given the urgency of the situation, it is essential that this Regulation take effect immediately.

1. For 2003 only, notwithstanding Article 13(2) and Article 14(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1433/2003, the Member States may take decisions on operational programmes and funds or on requests for amendments to operational programmes on 31 January 2004 at the latest.
2. Such decisions may provide that expenditure is eligible from 1 January 2004.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
