REGULATION (EEC) No 1077/68 OF THE COMMISSION of 26 July 1968 on the export refunds applicable to certain products processed from cereals and from rice

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;

Having regard to Council Regulation No 120/67/EEC 1, of 13 June 1967 on the common organisation of the market in cereals, and in particular Articles 16 (6) and 24 thereof;

Having regard to Council Regulation No 359/67/EEC 2on the common organisation of the market in rice, and in particular Articles 17 (6) and 25 thereof;

Whereas Article 8 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1052/68 3 of 23 July 1968 on the import and export system for products processed from cereals and from rice provided that, in the calculation of the export refund on processed products, account should be taken of the production refund granted on basic products used in their manufacture ; whereas account should be taken of this refund in the calculation of the variable component of the levy according to the quantities of basic products used as listed in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1052/68 ; whereas, however, it is unnecessary to take account of the production refund on maize groats and meal and broken rice used in the brewing industry since, pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation No 367/67/EEC 4, Member States are obliged to take action ensuring that such refunds are limited to the amounts of maize groats and meal and broken rice actually used by the brewing industry in the Community;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals;
