Corrigendum to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1052/2002 of 17 June 2002 amending Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 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 amounts of such refunds, 32002R1052R(01), July 9, 2002

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000of 13 July 2000laying 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 THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community;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 productsOJ L 318, 20.12.1993, p. 18., and in particular the first subparagraph of Article 8(3) thereof,Whereas:(1)Commission Regulation (EC) No 1222/94 of 30 May 1994OJ L 136, 31.5.1994, p. 5., as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 701/2000OJ L 83, 4.4.2000, p. 6., laid 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 amounts of such refunds. As this Regulation has been amended fifteen times, Regulation (EC) No 1222/94 should now be recast for reasons of clarity when new changes are made.(2)The Regulations on the common organisation of the markets in eggs, cereals, rice, milk and milk products, and sugar provide that, to the extent required to allow the agricultural products in question to be exported in the form of certain processed goods not listed in Annex I to the Treaty on the basis of world market quotations or prices for such products, the difference between such quotations or prices and prices in the European Union may be covered by an export refund.(3)Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999OJ L 102, 17.4.1999, p. 11. lays down general rules for 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. However, the way these arrangements apply to goods not covered by Annex I needs to be clarified.(4)Article 11 of the Agreement on Agriculture annexed to the Agreement establishing the World Trade Organisation lays down that refunds granted on exports of agricultural products incorporated in goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may not exceed the refunds that would be payable on those products when exported in the unaltered state. Account must be taken of this when rates of refund are fixed and assimilation rules defined.(5)Potato starch is assimilated to maize starch. However, it must be possible to fix a specific refund rate for potato starch in market situations where its price is significantly lower than that of maize starch.(6)Such goods may be obtained directly from basic products, from products obtained from the processing of basic products, or from products assimilated to either of these categories. Rules should be laid down for determining the amount of the export refund in each of these cases.(7)Many goods manufactured by an undertaking under clearly defined technical conditions and having constant characteristics and quality follow a regular export pattern. To ease export formalities, a simplified procedure should be adopted for such goods whereby the manufacturer communicates to the competent authorities such information as the latter consider necessary concerning the conditions of manufacture of the goods.(8)The agricultural product content of most exported goods is bound to vary. The amount of the refund must therefore be determined on the basis of the quantities of agricultural products actually used in the manufacture of the exported goods. However, for certain goods of a simple and relatively constant composition, the amount of the refund should, for ease of administration, be determined on the basis of fixed quantities of agricultural products. Where these quantities are registered with the competent authorities, provision should be made for annual confirmation of such registration in order to reduce the risks associated with failure to communicate changes in the quantities of products used to manufacture the goods in question.(9)In the absence of evidence that no production refund was granted pursuant to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93 of 30 June 1993 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulations (EEC) No 1766/92 and (EEC) No 1418/76 concerning production refunds in the cereals and rice sectors respectivelyOJ L 159, 1.7.1993, p. 112., as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 87/1999OJ L 9, 15.1.1999, p. 8., or pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1010/86 of 25 March 1986 laying down general rules for the production refund on certain sugar products used in the chemical industryOJ L 94, 9.4.1986, p. 9., as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2074/98OJ L 265, 30.9.1998, p. 8., the export refund should be reduced by the amount of the production refund applicable on the date of acceptance of the export declaration. This is the only system which avoids the risk of fraud.(10)Council Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 of 4 March 1980 on the advance payment of export refunds in respect of agricultural productsOJ L 62, 7.3.1980, p. 5., as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2026/83OJ L 199, 22.7.1983, p. 12., and Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural productsOJ L 102, 17.4.1999, p. 11., established a system for the advance payment of export refunds which must be taken into account when export refunds are adjusted.(11)Measures should be taken to ensure strict compliance with the Community's commitments. Moreover, these measures should not impose unnecessary constraints on operators.(12)The agreements reached in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty limit the amount of refunds that may be granted in any budget year. It must be possible to export goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty under conditions which are known in advance; In particular, it must be possible to obtain an assurance that these exports are eligible for a refund compatible with the Community's commitments under the agreements or, where this can no longer be the case, to be informed thereof sufficiently in advance; Furthermore, the issue of certificates makes it possible to monitor refund applications and to guarantee that refunds can be paid to certificate holders up to the amount stated on the certificate, provided the certificate holder complies with the other conditions for refunds laid down in the Community rules.(13)These Agreements concern all agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty. These products include certain cereals exported in the form of spirituous beverages referred to in Article 13(5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92OJ L 181, 1.7.1992, p. 21.. Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93OJ L 258, 16.10.1993, p. 6., as amended by Regulation (EC) No 3098/94OJ L 328, 20.12.1994, p. 12., lays down certain detailed rules for such cereals. The granting of refunds on all agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty should be subject to common rules.(14)It is highly likely that certificate applications will be received for greater amounts than can be granted. The year should therefore be divided into periods so that certificates can be made available both to operators who export at the end of the budget year and to those who export at the beginning of the budget year. Where appropriate, a reduction coefficient should be applied to all amounts requested.(15)The conditions for the release of the security pertaining to certificates subject to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85 of 22 July 1985 laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of securities for agricultural productsOJ L 205, 3.8.1985, p. 5., as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1932/1999 of 9 September 1999OJ L 240, 10.9.1999, p. 11., should be laid down.(16)Certain types of exports are not subject to limits on the payment of refunds as a result of international commitments entered into by the European Union. Such exports should be free from any obligation to present a refund certificate.(17)Most exporters receive less than 50000 euros a year in refunds. Taken together, these exports account for only a small part of the total amount of refunds granted on agricultural products exported in the form of goods. It should be possible to exempt such exports from the requirement to present a certificate.(18)Some exporters respond to invitations to tender issued by importing third countries. Should their tender be rejected, such exporters must be able to deduct the amount which they had set aside for their tender from the amount covered by their certificate, without incurring any penalty.(19)Refund certificates serve to ensure compliance with the commitments entered into by the European Union vis-à-vis the World Trade Organisation; they also make it possible to determine in advance the refund which can be granted on agricultural products used in the manufacture of goods exported to third countries. This purpose differs, in some respects, from the objectives of export licences issued for basic products exported in the unaltered state which are subject to commitments vis-à-vis the World Trade Organisation involving quantitative restrictions. It is therefore necessary to specify which general provisions applicable to agricultural licences and certificates, currently laid down by Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000OJ L 152, 24.6.2000, p. 1. laying down common detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences and advance fixing certificates for agricultural product.(20)Management of the amounts of refunds which may be granted during a budget year on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty may result in a need to fix different rates for exports with or without advance fixing of the rate of refund on the basis of developments on Community and world markets.(21)Monitoring arrangements should be established, based on the principle of the exporter declaring to the competent authorities, each time goods are exported, the quantities of products used to manufacture the exported goods. The competent authorities are responsible for taking any measures they consider necessary to verify the accuracy of such declarations.(22)In consultation with the competent authorities of the Member State in which the goods are manufactured, operators should be permitted to make a simplified declaration of the products used, in the form of aggregated quantities of these products, provided they keep a detailed record of the products used and make it available to the said authorities.(23)It is not always possible for the exporter, particularly if he is not the manufacturer, to know the precise quantities of agricultural products used on which he can claim a refund. Therefore, the exporter is not always able to declare such quantities. It is therefore necessary to provide an alternative method of calculation of the refund which the person concerned may ask to be applied, restricted to certain goods, based on the chemical analysis of these goods, and using a conversion table drawn up for this purpose. When this method of calculation is used for certain goods listed in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93, the origin of the starch used is unknown. A production refund may have been granted in respect of that starch; these goods may not therefore be the subject of an export refund for starch.(24)The authorities responsible for checking the exporter’s declaration may not possess sufficient evidence to enable them to accept the declaration of the quantities used, even if it is based on a chemical analysis. Such situations are particularly likely to arise when the goods to be exported have been manufactured in a Member State other than the exporting State. Therefore, the competent authorities of the exporting Member State should be able, if necessary, to obtain directly from the competent authorities of the other Member States all the information which the latter authorities are able to obtain concerning the conditions of manufacture of the goods.(25)Commission Regulation (EC) No 2571/97 of 15 December 1997 on the sale of butter at reduced prices and the granting of aid for cream, butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffsOJ L 350, 20.12.1997, p. 3. authorises butter and cream to be made available at reduced prices to industries which manufacture certain goods. Account must be taken of this when refunds are calculated on the basis of chemical analysis.(26)It is desirable to ensure the uniform application throughout the European Union of the provisions on the granting of refunds on goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty. To that end, each Member State should inform the other Member States, via the Commission, of the monitoring arrangements applied in its territory to the various types of exported goods.(27)Article 31(10), (11) and (12) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk productsOJ L 160, 26.6.1999, p. 48. lays down the conditions which must be met before a refund is granted on certain milk products which have been imported and then re-exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I to the Treaty.(28)Account must be taken of the increased quantities of certain milk products imported at a reduced tariff under agreements concluded with certain non-member countries and the possibility of granting an export refund higher than such reduced tariff.(29)To ensure correct application of the provisions of the Regulations on the common organisation of markets relating to the granting of export refunds, such refunds should not be granted on products from non-member countries used in the manufacture of goods which are exported after having been in free circulation in the European Union.(30)The coefficients applicable when determining the refund on certain processed agricultural products should be fixed and the refund per 100 kg of products used should be published.(31)The Management Committee on horizontal questions concerning trade in processed agricultural products not listed in Annex I to the Treaty has not delivered an opinion in the time limit set by its chairman,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

exported;(c)in the case of use:of a product not covered by Annex I to the Treaty derived from the processing of a product referred to in (a) or (b), orof a product derived from the mixture and/or processing of several products referred to in (a) and/or (b), and/or products referred to in the first indent,the quantity, to be determined on the basis of the quantity of the product actually used in the manufacture of the goods exported, shall be equal, for each of the basic products in question and subject to the provisions of paragraph 3, to the quantity established by the competent authorities in accordance with Article 16(1). For the purpose of calculating this quantity the conversion rates referred to in (a) or, as the case may be, the special rules for calculation, equivalence ratios and coefficients referred to in (b) shall apply.However, for the cereal-based spirituous beverages contained in spirituous beverages falling within CN code 2208, this quantity shall be 3,4 kg of barley per % vol of alcohol derived from cereals per hectolitre of the spirituous beverage exported.2.For the purposes of paragraph 1, the products used unprocessed in the manufacture of exported goods shall be considered as actually used. Where, during one of the stages of manufacture of such goods, a basic product is itself processed into another more elaborate basic product used at a later stage, only the latter basic product shall be considered as actually used.The quantities of products actually used, within the meaning of the first subparagraph, shall be determined for each type of goods exported.However, in the case of regular exports of goods manufactured by a particular undertaking under clearly defined technical conditions and having constant characteristics and quality, the quantities may, by agreement with the competent authorities, be determined either from the manufacturing formula for the goods in question or from the average quantities of product used over a specified period in the manufacture of a given quantity of these goods. The quantities of products thus determined shall remain the basis of calculation so long as there is no change in the conditions under which the goods in question are manufactured.Except in the case of a formal authorisation given by the competent authority, the quantities of products thus determined shall be confirmed at least once a year.In determining the quantities actually used, account shall be taken of the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3615/92OJ L 367, 16.12.1992, p. 10..3.In respect of the goods listed in Annex C, the quantity of basic products to be taken in calculating the amount of the refund shall be that shown in that Annex against each of those goods.However:(a)in the case of fresh pasta, the quantities of basic products given in Annex C have to be reduced to an equivalent quantity of dry pasta by multiplying those quantities by the percentage of the dry extract of the pasta and dividing them by 88;(b)where the goods in question have been manufactured partly from products covered by inward processing arrangements and partly from products satisfying the conditions laid down in Article 23 of the Treaty, the quantity of basic products to be taken for calculating the refund to be granted in respect of the latter class of products shall be determined in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2.

Article 41.The rate of refund shall be fixed each month per 100 kg of basic products in accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and the corresponding Articles of the other Regulations referred to in Article 1(1).It may be modified in accordance with Article 13(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and the corresponding Articles of the other Regulations referred to in Article 1(1).However, the rate of the refund on poultry eggs in shell, fresh or preserved, and eggs not in shell and egg yolks, suitable for human consumption, fresh, dried or otherwise preserved, not sweetened, shall be fixed for the period taken for fixing the refunds on those products exported unprocessed.2.The rate of the refund shall be determined with particular reference to:(a)the average cost incurred by the processing industries in obtaining supplies of basic products on the European Union market and the prices prevailing on the world market;(b)the level of the refund on exports of processed agricultural products covered by Annex I to the Treaty which are manufactured under similar conditions;(c)the need to ensure equal conditions of competition between industries which use Community products and those which use third country products under inward processing arrangements;(d)on the one part the trend in expenditure and on the other part the trend in prices in the Community and on the world market;(e)compliance with the limits resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty.In the case of potato starch falling within CN code 11081300, the rate of the refund shall be fixed separately, in maize equivalent, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 23 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 by applying the criteria indicated above. The quantities of potato starch used shall be converted into equivalent quantities of maize in accordance with Article 3(1)(b).3.In fixing the rate of the refund account shall be taken, where appropriate, of production refunds, aids or other measures having equivalent effect applicable in all Member States, in accordance with the regulation on the common organisation of the market in the product in question, to basic products or to assimilated products.4.Except in the case of cereals, no refund shall be granted on products used in the manufacture of alcohol contained in the spirituous beverages referred to in Annex B falling within CN code 2208.5.The export of goods falling under CN code 35051050 only enjoys a reduced rate in view of the production refund applicable to the basic product used during the assumed period of manufacture of the goods pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 1722/93. The rates thus determined shall be fixed in accordance with the procedure laid down in paragraph 1.6.(a)The refund on starches falling within CN code 11081100 to 11081990 or products listed in Annex A to Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 resulting from the processing of such starches is granted only on production of a declaration from the supplier of those products attesting that they have been directly produced from cereals, potatoes or rice, excluding all use of sub-products obtained in the production of other agricultural products or goods.The declaration referred to in the first subparagraph may apply, until revocation, to all supplies from the same producer; it shall be verified in accordance with Article 16(1).(b)Where the dry-extract content of potato starch assimilated to maize starch pursuant to Article 1(3)(a) is 80 % or higher, the rate of the export refund shall be that laid down in accordance with paragraph 1; where the dry-extract content is less than 80 %, the rate of the refund shall be that laid down in accordance with paragraph 1 multiplied by 1/80th of the actual dry-extract percentage.For all other starches with a dry-extract content of 87 % or more, the rate of the export refund shall be that laid down in accordance with paragraph 1; where the dry-extract content is less than 87 %, the rate of the refund shall be that laid down in accordance with paragraph 1 multiplied by 1/87th of the actual dry-extract percentage.Where the dry-extract content of glucose or maltodextrin syrups falling within CN codes 17023059, 17023099, 17024090, 17029050 or 21069055 is 78 % or more, the rate of the export refund shall be that laid down in accordance with paragraph 1; where the dry-extract content of such syrups is less than 78 %, the rate of the refund shall be that laid down in accordance with paragraph 1, multiplied by 1/78th of the actual dry-extract percentage.(c)For the purpose of (b), the dry-extract content of starches shall be determined using the method referred to in Annex II to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1908/84OJ L 178, 5.7.1984, p. 22.; the dry-matter content of glucose or maltodextrin syrups shall be determined using method 2 referred to in Annex II to Council Directive 79/796/EECOJ L 239, 22.9.1979, p. 24. or any other suitable method of analysis offering at least the same guarantees.(d)When the declaration referred to in Article 16(1) is made, the applicant must declare the dry-extract content of the starches or glucose or maltodextrin syrups used.7.Where the world trade situation in casein falling within CN code 350110, in caseinates falling within CN code 35019090 or in ovalbumin falling within CN codes 35021190 and 35021990 or the specific requirements of certain markets so require, the refund on these goods may be differentiated according to destination.8.The rate of refunds on goods falling within CN codes 19021100, 190219 and 19024010 may be differentiated according to their destination.9.The refund may vary according to whether or not it is fixed in advance in accordance with Article 7(2).

Article 51.The rate of the refund shall be that applying on the day on which the goods are exported.2.However, a system of fixing the rate of the refund in advance shall apply.Where the system of advance fixing of the rate of the refund is applied, the rate in force on the day on which the application for advance fixing is lodged shall apply to goods exported at a later date during the period of validity of the refund certificate in accordance with the provisions of Article 9(2). However, applications for advanced fixing lodged on a Thursday shall be deemed to have been submitted on the following working day.The rate of the refund determined in accordance with the preceding subparagraph shall be adjusted using the same rules as apply to the advance fixing of refunds for basic products exported unprocessed, but using the conversion coefficients laid down in Annex E for processed cereal products.The previous subparagraph shall not apply to applications for advance fixing made up to and including 24 March 2000.

Article 61.From 1 March 2000, the granting of refunds on exports of agricultural products meeting the conditions set out in Article 16 or on cereals placed under control for the production of the spirit drinks referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93 shall be conditional on production of a refund certificate issued in accordance with Article 7.The previous subparagraph shall not apply to the supplies referred to in the third indent of Article 4(1) or Articles 36, 40, 44, 45 and Article 46(1) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999, or to the exports referred to in Article 14.2.The granting of the refund under the advance fixing system provided for in Article 5(2) shall be conditional on production of a refund certificate showing advance fixing of the refund rates.3.Without prejudice to the provisions set out in Article 6a, the refund certificate shall not be transferable. It shall be used by the holder.4.Where the applicant has no plans to export from a Member State other than that in which he is applying for the refund certificate, the competent body may keep it, notably in the form of a computer file.5.For the application of this Article to cereals placed under control for the manufacture of the spirit drinks referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2825/93, any reference to the term "export" shall be understood to refer to the act of placing cereals under such control.

Article 6a1.Obligations deriving from licences or certificates shall not be transferable. Rights deriving from licences or certificates may be transferred by their titular holder during the period of their validity, provided that such transfer is made in favour of a single transferee only for each certificate or extract therefrom and the name and address of the transferee who accepts it are entered in box 20 of the application form for a refund certificate no later than at the time of lodging the application. Such transfer shall relate to the amounts not yet attributed to the certificate or to all the extracts therefrom.Before the certificate is issued, the following shall be entered in box 22 and completed in accordance with the details of the application: "The rights may possibly be transferred to… (name and address of the transferee)"If no name and address of a possible transferee were specified in the application for the certificate, box 6 shall be deleted.1a.By way of derogation from paragraph 1, for refund certificates issued for use as from 1 June for goods to be exported before 1 October the requirement to enter the name and address of the transferee in box 20 of the application form shall not apply. Box 6 shall not be deleted from these refund certificates.For the budget period ending 30 September 2002, the provisions of the first subparagraph shall apply to refund certificates issued for use from 1 August 2002.2.Transferees may not further transfer their rights but may transfer them back to the titular holder.In such cases, one of the following entries shall be made by the issuing body in section 6 of the certificate:retrocesión al titular, el …práva převedena zpět na majitele …tilbageføring til indehaveren den …Rückübertragung auf den Bescheinigungsinhaber am …… omanikule tagastatud õigusedεκ νέου παραχώρηση στο δικαιούχο στις …rights transferred back to the titular holder on [date]rétrocession au titulaire le …retrocessione al titolare in data …tiesības nodotas atpakaļ to nominālajam īpašniekam …teisės grąžintos atgal turėtojui …A jogok …-tól az eredeti jogosultra szálltak visszadrittijiet trasferiti lura lid-detentur tat-titlu fuq …aan de titularis geretrocedeerd op …uprawnienia przywrócone prawowitemu posiadaczowi …retrocessão ao titular em …práva prenesené späť na držiteľa …Pravice, prenesene nazaj na imetnika …palautus todistuksenhaltijalle …återbördad till licensinnehavaren den …3.In the event of a request for transfer by the titular holder or transfer back to the titular holder by the transferee, the issuing body or the agency or agencies designated by each Member State shall enter the following on the certificate or, where appropriate, the extract therefrom:(a)the name and address of the transferee as indicated in accordance with paragraph 1 or the entry referred to in paragraph 2;(b)the date of such entry certified by the stamp of the body or agency.4.The transfer or transfer back to the titular holder shall take effect from the date of the entry.

Article 71.The refund certificate shall be requested and issued for a set amount in euros.The application for a refund certificate and the refund certificate itself shall be based on the model in Annex F or subject to the provisions of Article 20.2.The party concerned may request advance fixing of the refund rates in force on the day of lodging of the application. In that case, the advance fixing concerns all the applicable refund rates. The sole application for advance fixing may be lodged under the conditions in Annex F either at the time of application for the refund certificate or on the day of granting of the refund certificate but before the last day of validity thereof.The advance fixing shall not apply to exports taking place before the date of application.By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, and in so far as the relevant applications relate to requests for advance fixing of refund rates, applications for advance fixing lodged on a Thursday will be deemed to have been submitted on the following working day.3.The issue of a refund certificate shall oblige the holder to apply for refunds equal to the amount for which the certificate has been issued on goods exported during the period of validity of the refund certificate. The security referred to in Article 11 shall be lodged to guarantee compliance with this obligation.4.The obligations referred to in paragraph 3 shall be primary requirements for the purposes of Article 20 of Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85.The primary requirement shall be considered to have been fulfilled if the exporter has transmitted the specific application(s) relating to goods exported during the period of validity of the refund certificate in accordance with the conditions laid down in section VI of Annex F. Where the specific application is not the export declaration, it must be lodged within three months of the date of expiry of the refund certificate bearing the number that has been entered on the specific application, except in case of force majeure.Proof that the primary requirement has been fulfilled shall be provided by means of the presentation to the competent authority of copy 1 of the duly recorded refund certificate, in accordance with the provisions of section VI of Annex F. This evidence must be presented by the end of the ninth month following the end of the period of validity of the refund certificate.5.A refund requested on the basis of a specific application which is not the export declaration shall be granted on the applicable terms, particularly those set out in Article 6.Without prejudice to the previous subparagraph, if the time limit of three months specified in paragraph 4 is not complied with, the obligation referred to in paragraph 3 cannot be deemed to have been met and consequently, the security provided for in Article 11 shall be retained in respect of the amount in question.

Article 81.Refund certificates issued for a single budget period may be applied for separately in six tranches. Applications for certificates may be submitted at the latest on:(a)7 September for certificates for use from 1 October;(b)7 November for certificates for use from 1 December;(c)7 January for certificates for use from 1 February;(d)7 March for certificates for use from 1 April;(e)7 May for certificates for use from 1 June;(f)7 July for certificates for use from 1 August.Operators may submit an application for a refund certificate only for the tranche corresponding to the first closing date, as set out under points (a) to (f), following the date of submission.2.Member States shall notify the Commission not later than:14 September of the applications for certificates referred to in paragraph 1(a);14 November of the applications for certificates referred to in paragraph 1(b);14 January of the applications for certificates referred to in paragraph 1(c);14 March of the applications for certificates referred to in paragraph 1(d);14 May of the applications for certificates referred to in paragraph 1(e);14 July of the applications for certificates referred to in paragraph 1(f).3.The Commission shall determine the amount for which refund certificates may be issued on the basis of:(a)the maximum amount of refunds determined in accordance with Article 9(2) of the Agreement,minus(b)where appropriate, the amount exceeding the maximum amount that may be granted during the previous budget year,minus(c)the amount reserved to cover the exports referred to in Article 14,minus(d)payments made during the budget year relating to exports prior to 1 March 2000,minus(e)payments made during the current budget year relating to exports during the previous budget period,minus(f)the amounts for which refund certificates valid during the budget period concerned have been issued,plus(g)the amount for which certificates issued, as referred to in Article 12, have been returned,plus(h)any under-utilisation of the reserved amount referred to in (c) above,and(i)any elements of uncertainty concerning some of these amounts.4.The total amount for which certificates may be issued for each of the tranches referred to in paragraph 1 shall be:30 % of the amount referred to in paragraph 3, determined on 14 September for the tranche referred to in paragraph 1(a),27 % of the amount referred to in paragraph 3, determined on 14 November for the tranche referred to in paragraph 1(b),32 % of the amount referred to in paragraph 3, determined on 14 January for the tranche referred to in paragraph 1(c),44 % of the amount referred to in paragraph 3, determined on 14 March for the tranche referred to in paragraph 1(d),67 % of the amount referred to in paragraph 3, determined on 14 May for the tranche referred to in paragraph 1(e),100 % of the amount referred to in paragraph 3, determined on 14 July for the tranche referred to in paragraph 1(f).5.Should the total amount of the applications received for each of the periods concerned exceed the maximum referred to in paragraph 4, the Commission shall set a reduction coefficient applicable to all applications lodged before the corresponding date referred to in paragraph 1 so as to comply with the maximum referred to in paragraph 4.The Commission shall publish the coefficient in the Official Journal of the European Communities within five working days of the date referred to in paragraph 2.6.If a reduction coefficient is set by the Commission, certificates may be issued for the amount requested multiplied by 1 minus the reduction coefficient set as provided for in paragraph 5 or 8.In this case, applicants may withdraw their applications within five working days of publication of the coefficient in the Official Journal of the European Communities.7.Member States shall notify the Commission by 1 October, 1 December, 1 February, 1 April, 1 June and 1 August the amounts of the applications for refund certificates withdrawn pursuant to paragraph 6.8.Applications for refund certificates may be lodged outside the periods referred to in paragraph 1, with effect from 1 October of each budget period. Applications submitted in the course of each week shall be notified to the Commission on the following Tuesday. The corresponding certificates may be issued from the Monday following notification, unless the Commission issues instructions to the contrary.Where the Commission considers that there is a danger that the European Union may not meet its international commitments, it may apply a reduction coefficient to applications for refund certificates already lodged, taking account in particular of the calculation method referred to in paragraphs 3 and 4. It may also suspend the issue of certificates.The Commission shall publish the coefficient in the Official Journal of the European Communities within four days of notification of the applications, as mentioned in the first subparagraph.9.The applications for refund certificates referred to in the previous paragraph may be lodged only if no reduction coefficient has been set pursuant to paragraph 5. The certificates thus issued are aimed at using up the amounts calculated in accordance with paragraph 4, plus the amounts for which no certificates were actually issued and the amounts for any certificates returned.10.If amounts determined in accordance with paragraph 3 remain available, the Commission may authorise, by publication in the Official Journal at the latest on 10 August, the lodging of applications for refund certificates from the following Monday for goods to be exported before 1 October under the conditions laid down in paragraph 8.11.The provisions of paragraphs 1-5, 7, 9 and 10 shall apply from 15 July 2000.

Article 91.Refund certificates shall be valid from the date indicated on the application for a certificate, under the conditions laid down in Annex F.2.Refund certificate shall be valid until the end of fifth month following the month in which the application for this certificate has been made, or until the end of the budgetary period, if this is earlier.However, if refund rates are fixed in advance, these rates remain valid until the end of the fifth month following the month in which the application for advance fixing was lodged, or until the end of the period of validity of the certificate if this is earlier.In the case of certificates delivered after June 1, the Commission may extend their period of validity.Where the rates of refund on goods exported from 1 March 2000 to 30 September 2000 are fixed in advance, those rates shall apply until the end of the period of validity of the certificate.Applications for advance fixing shall be made in accordance with section II of Annex F.Extracts of refund certificates may not be the subject of advance fixing independently of the certificate from which they are taken.

Article 10Regulation (EC) No 2298/2001 shall apply to applications for refund certificates and refund certificates issued for export of goods, which are part of an international food aid operation within the meaning of Article 10(4) of the Agreement.

Article 10a1.This Article shall apply to refund certificates applied for fixing the refund in advance, on the day the application is lodged, in connection with an invitation to tender issued in an importing non-member country.The expression "invitation to tender" shall be understood to mean open invitations issued by public agencies in third countries, or by international bodies governed by public law, to submit by a given date tenders on which a decision will be taken by those agencies or bodies.For the purposes of this Article, the armed forces referred to in Article 36(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 shall be regarded as an importing country.2.Exporters who have submitted or wish to submit a tender in response to an invitation to tender as referred to in paragraph 1 may, by way of derogation from Article 8(5), (6) and (9), subject to the conditions set out in paragraph 10, and provided the conditions specified in paragraph 3 are fulfilled, apply for one or more certificates, which will be issued subject to the exporter being awarded a contract.3.This Article shall apply only if the following particulars at least are specified in the invitation to tender:the importing country and the agency issuing the invitation to tender,the closing date for the submission of tenders,the specific quantity of products covered by the invitation to tender.The party concerned shall communicate these particulars to the issuing agency when applying for the certificate.An application or applications for a certificate may not be lodged more than 15 days before the closing date for the submission of tenders but must be lodged at the latest by 1 p.m. on that closing date.The amount in respect of which the certificate or certificates are applied for may not exceed the corresponding quantity applying the rate fixed in advance in accordance with the first subparagraph of paragraph 1, specified in the invitation to tender. No account shall be taken of tolerances or options provided for in the invitation to tender.4.Notwithstanding Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) 1291/2000, the security need not be lodged when the certificate is applied for.5.Within 44 days of the closing date for submitting tenders, except in case of force majeure, the applicant shall inform the issuing body by letter or by written telecommunication, to reach the issuing body no later than the date of expiry of the 44-day time limit:(a)either that he has himself been awarded a contract;(b)or that he has not been awarded a contract;(c)or that he has not submitted a tender;(d)or that he is not in a position to know the outcome of the invitation to tender within the time limit specified for reasons which may not be ascribed to him.6.Applications for certificates shall not be accepted where, during the period of issue to which applications for refund certificates are subject, the issue of a certificate has been suspended in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 8(8).No special measure taken subsequent to the expiry of the said period may prevent the issue of one or more certificates in respect of the invitation to tender in question where the applicant has fulfilled the following conditions:(a)the information referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 3 is evidenced by the appropriate documents;(b)proof is furnished of the applicant's having been awarded a contract;(c)the contract is presented; or(d)where absence of the contract is justified, documentation is submitted attesting the obligations entered into with the other contracting party or parties, including confirmation from his or their bank of the opening of an irrevocable documentary letter of credit by the purchaser's financial institution relating to the agreed delivery;(e)the security required for the issue of the certificate is lodged.The certificate or certificates shall be issued only for the country referred to in the first indent of the first subparagraph of paragraph 3. The invitation to tender shall be mentioned thereon.The total amount for which the certificate or certificates are issued shall be the corresponding total quantity applying the rate fixed in advance in accordance with the first subparagraph of paragraph 1, for which the applicant was awarded the contract and has presented the contract or documentation referred to in point (d); such amount may not exceed the amount applied for.By way of exemption from Article 9(1) and the first and second subparagraphs of Article 9(2), refund certificates issued in accordance with this article shall be valid with effect from the day on which they are issued within the meaning of Article 23(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000. Refund certificates shall be valid for no longer than the end of the eighth month following the month of issue or until 30 September of each year, which ever is the sooner. Rates fixed in advance are therefore valid until the last day of the certificate's validity.No certificate may be issued for the amount corresponding to the quantity for which the applicant has not been awarded a contract or has failed to comply with any of the conditions specified in point (a), (b), (c) and (e) of the second subparagraph or, as the case may be, point (a), (b), (d) and (e) of the second subparagraph.The holder of the certificate or certificates shall be held primarily liable for the repayment of any refund incorrectly paid where it is established that the certificate or certificates was or were issued on the basis of a contract or obligation, specified in point (d), not corresponding to the invitation to tender opened by the non-member country.7.In the cases referred to in paragraph 5(b), (c) and (d), no certificate shall be issued in connection with the application referred to in paragraph 3.8.Where the applicant for a certificate fails to comply with paragraph 5, no certificate shall be issued.However, where the applicant furnishes proof to the issuing body that the closing date for the submission of tenders has been deferred:by no more than 10 days, the application shall remain valid and the period of 44 days for notifying the particulars specified in paragraph 5 shall run with effect from the new closing date for the submission of tenders,by more than 10 days, the application shall no longer be valid.9.(a)If the successful tenderer demonstrates to the satisfaction of the competent authority that the agency that issued the invitation to tender has cancelled the contract for reasons which are not attributable to the tenderer and are not considered to constitute force majeure, the competent authority shall release the security in cases where the rate of the refund fixed in advance in respect of the basic product corresponding to the largest refund compared with the other basic products used is higher than or equal to the rate of the refund valid on the last day of the certificate's validity.(b)If the successful tenderer demonstrates to the satisfaction of the competent authority that the agency that issued the invitation to tender has obliged him to accept changes to the contract for reasons that are not attributable to him and are not considered to constitute force majeure, the competent authority may extend the validity of the certificate and the duration of advance fixing up to 30 September.(c)If the successful tenderer furnishes proof that the invitation to tender or the contract concluded following the award provided for a downward tolerance or option of more than 5 % and that the agency that issued the invitation to tender is invoking the relevant clause, the obligation to export shall be deemed to have been fulfilled where the quantity exported is not more than 10 % less than the quantity corresponding to the amount for which the certificate was issued, on condition that the rate of the refund fixed in advance in respect of the basic product corresponding to the largest refund compared with the other basic products used is higher than or equal to the rate of the refund valid on the last day of validity of the certificate. In such cases the rate of 95 % referred to in Article 12(4) shall be replaced by 90 %.(d)In comparing the rate of the refund fixed in advance with that of the refund valid on the last day of validity of the certificate, account shall be taken, where applicable, of other amounts provided for under Community rules.10.By way of exemption from Article 8, applications for refund certificates may be submitted in accordance with this article from 1 October of each budget period. Member States shall immediately inform the Commission of the particulars referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 3, and of the amounts and date and time of submission of each certificate applied for. The Commission shall inform the Member State within two working days of such notification whether the third subparagraph of paragraph 12 is applicable.11.In the case of applications which have not yet been submitted, the Commission may suspend application of paragraph 2 under the conditions set out in the second and third subparagraphs of Article 8(8).12.For the purposes of applying the first subparagraph of paragraph 6, the Commission may consider that there is no danger of international commitments not being met if the sum of the amounts corresponding to a single invitation to tender for which one or more applications for certificates have been made by one or more operators and for which no certificate has yet been issued does not exceed EUR 2 million.However, this limit may be increased to EUR 4 million if none of the reduction coefficients published since the beginning of the budgetary period and referred to in Article 8(5) exceeds 50 %.Refund certificates shall not be issued to operators if the amount concerned, added to the amounts for which certificates have been applied for as part of the same invitation to tender, exceed the applicable limit.

Article 11Applications for refund certificates other than for food aid transactions referred to in Article 10 shall be valid only if a security equal to 25 % of the amount applied for has been lodged under the conditions set out in Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000.The security shall be released under the conditions set out in Article 12.

Article 121.If a reduction coefficient is applied pursuant to Article 8(5) and (8), part of the security equal to the amount lodged multiplied by the reduction coefficient shall be released immediately.2.Should the applicant withdraw his application for a certificate, as provided for in Article 8(6), 94 % of the security shall be released.3.The security shall be released in full once the holder of the certificate has applied for refunds totalling 95 % of the amount for which the certificate was issued. On application by the titular holder, Member States may release the security by instalments in proportion to the quantities of products for which proof as referred to in Article 7(4) has been produced, provided that proof has been produced that an amount equal to at least 5 % of that indicated on the certificate has been applied for.4.Where the refund certificate has been used for less than 95 % of the amount for which it was issued, part of the security equal to 25 % of the difference between 95 % of the amount for which the certificate was issued and the amount of refunds actually used shall be forfeited.Furthermore, if the total amount of the security which would be forfeited comes to EUR 60 or less for a given certificate, the Member State concerned shall release the whole of the security.5.However,where the certificate or an extract from the certificate is returned to the issuing body within a period corresponding to the initial two thirds of its term of validity, the corresponding amount of security to be forfeited shall be reduced by 40 %; for this purpose, any part of a day counts as a whole day;where the certificate or extract from the certificate is returned to the issuing body within a period corresponding to the last third of its term of validity or during the month following the expiry date, the corresponding amount of security to be forfeited shall be reduced by 25 %.The above paragraph shall apply only to certificates and extracts from certificates returned to the issuing body during the budgetary period in respect of which the certificates have been issued, provided that they are returned more than 30 days before the end of that period.

Article 131.Before the end of each month the Member States shall notify the Commission of the amount of refunds granted in the previous month on goods exported before 1 March 2000.2.Before 1 January 2001, and before 1 January of each subsequent year, the Member States shall notify the Commission of the total amounts of refunds which they have actually granted until the previous 30 September on goods exported in previous budget periods not previously notified, specifying the periods concerned.3.For the purposes of the previous paragraph, refunds actually granted shall include advance payments. Reimbursements of refunds unduly paid shall be notified separately.4.Before the 10th day of each month the Member States shall notify the Commission of:(a)the amounts for which refund certificates were returned during the previous month in accordance with Article 12(5);(b)the amounts for which refund certificates were returned or reduced during the previous month in accordance with Article 12(6);(c)the amounts for which unused refund certificates expired;(d)refund certificates issued during the previous month as referred to in Article 10.

Article 141.Until 30 September 2000 and for each budget period from 1 October 2000, exports not covered by a certificate are eligible for payment of a refund within the limit of a total reserve of EUR 35 million for each budget year.However, this Article shall not apply to exports which are part of an international food aid transaction within the meaning of Article 10(4) of the Agreement, nor to the supplies referred to in the third indent of Article 4(1) and Articles 36, 40, 44, 45 and 46(1) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999.2.This Article shall apply to exports by operators that have not held a refund certificate since the beginning of the budget period in question and do not hold such a certificate on the date of export. The applications submitted by the operator on the terms set out in Annex F, section VI, paragraph 2, during the budget year and before the submission of the application for the export in question must total less than EUR 75000.For the application of the previous subparagraph, if the specific application is regarded by the competent authority as being the customs declaration within the meaning of Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999, the date of the application may, if the competent authority agrees, be the date on which the customs authority accepted the export declaration in question.This Article is applicable only in the Member State in which the goods are manufactured or assembled.3.Member States shall notify the Commission no later than the fifth day of each month of the amounts of the refunds granted pursuant to this Article from the sixteenth day to the end of the previous month, and no later than the twentieth day of each month of the amounts of the refunds granted pursuant to this Article from the first to the fifteenth day of the current month.If the sum of the amounts notified by the Member States reaches EUR 25 million, the Commission may suspend the application of paragraphs 1 and 2 to exports not covered by a refund certificate.Taking into account both the amounts notified by Member States in application of the first subparagraph and the European Community's meeting of international commitments, the Commission may adjust the amount provided for in the second subparagraph in respect of a budgetary period, in which case it shall publish the new amount in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Article 151.Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000 shall apply to the refund certificates referred to in this Regulation, with the exception of the provisions concerning import licences.The provisions on the rights and obligations stemming from refund certificates denominated in quantities shall apply mutatis mutandis to the rights and obligations stemming from the refund certificates referred to in this Regulation for amounts denominated in euros, taking account of the provisions in Annex F.2.By way of derogation from paragraph 1, the following provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1291/2000 shall not apply to the refund certificates referred to in this Regulation:Articles 9, 12, 14, 21, 24, 32, 33, 35, 42, 46, 47, 49 and 50,Article 8(2),Article 8(4),Article 18(1),Article 36(5).3.For the purposes of Article 40 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, certificates valid until 30 September may not be extended. In this case, the certificate must be cancelled for any amounts not applied for due to force majeure.

Article 161.Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 shall apply. Moreover, when goods are to be exported, the party concerned must declare the quantities of basic products, of products derived from the processing thereof, or of products assimilated to one of those two categories in accordance with Article 1(3), which have actually been used, within the meaning of Article 3(2), in the manufacture of those goods, on which a refund will be requested, or otherwise refer to that composition if it has been determined in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 3(2).When goods have been used in the manufacture of goods to be exported, the declaration by the party concerned must include the quantity of the goods actually used and the nature and quantity of each of the basic products, of products derived from the processing thereof or of products assimilated to one of those two categories in accordance with Article 1(3), from which the goods in question are derived.The party concerned shall, in support of his declaration, supply the competent authorities with all documents and information which the latter consider relevant.The competent authorities shall verify the accuracy of the declaration made to them by any appropriate means.At the request of the competent authorities of the Member State on whose territory the customs export formalities are carried out, the competent authorities of the other Member States shall communicate to them directly all information they are able to obtain to enable the declaration made by the party concerned to be verified.2.By way of derogation from the preceding paragraph, and in consultation with the competent authorities, the declaration of the products and/or goods used may be replaced by an aggregated declaration of the quantities of products used or by a reference to a declaration of these quantities, if the latter have already been determined pursuant to the third subparagraph of Article 3(2) and on condition that the manufacturer places at the disposal of the authorities all the information necessary to verify the declaration.3.Where the exporter does not draw up the declaration referred to in paragraph 1 or does not provide satisfactory information in support of his declaration, he shall not be entitled to a refund.However, if the goods concerned are listed in columns 1 and 2 of Annex D, the party concerned may, at his express request, be granted a refund, the nature and quantity of the basic products taken into consideration for the calculation of such refund being determined from an analysis of the goods to be exported and in accordance with the conversion table in Annex D. The competent authority shall decide on the conditions under which the analysis is to be carried out.The cost of such analysis shall be borne by the exporter.If the exported goods are referred to in Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2571/97, the rate of the refund on milk products shall be that applicable to the use of reduced price dairy products, unless the exporter provides evidence that the goods do not contain reduced price dairy products.4.Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply to the quantities of agricultural products determined in pursuance of Annex C, except in respect of:quantities of products as referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 1 exported in the form of goods obtained partly from products covered by inward processing arrangements under the conditions defined in Article 3(3)(b),quantities of eggs or egg products exported in the form of pasta falling within CN code 19021100,the dry-matter content of fresh pasta referred to in Article 3(3)(a),the nature of the basic products actually used in the manufacture of D-glucitol (sorbitol) falling within CN codes 290544 and 382460, and, where necessary, the proportions of D-glucitol (sorbitol) obtained from amylaceous products and sucrose,quantities of casein exported in the form of goods falling within CN code 35019090,the degree plato of beer made from malt falling within CN code 22029010,the quantities of unmalted barley accepted by the competent authorities.The description of the goods given on the export declaration and the application for a refund on goods listed in Annex C shall take account of the nomenclature in that Annex.5.When goods are analysed in pursuance of this Article, the methods of analysis shall be those referred to in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 4056/87OJ L 379, 31.12.1987, p. 29. or, in their absence, those applicable for the Common Customs Tariff classification of similar goods which are imported into the European Union.6.The quantities of goods exported and the quantities of the products referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 1 or a reference to the composition determined in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 3(2) shall be entered on the document certifying exportation. However, where the second subparagraph of paragraph 2 applies, the latter quantities shall be replaced by the quantities of basic products shown in column 4 of Annex D, corresponding to the results of the analysis of the goods exported.7.For the purposes of paragraphs 1 and 2, each Member State shall inform the Commission of the checks carried out in its territory on the various kinds of goods exported. The Commission shall inform the other Member States thereof.8.As regards exports effected between 1 October and 15 October of each year, refunds may not be paid before 16 October.As regards exports effected with presentation of a refund certificate issued in respect of a budgetary period, and where the Commission considers that there is a danger that the Community may not meet its international commitments, refund payments scheduled after the end of that period may not be made before 16 October, in which case the time limit referred to in the first subparagraph of Article 49(8) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 may be temporarily extended to three months and 15 days.If the previous subparagraph is applied, the Commission shall publish this provision before 20 September in the Official Journal of the European Communities.9.By way of derogation from Article 28(6) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999, for refund certificates issued for use as from 1 June for goods to be exported before 1 October the basic products as listed in Annex A to this Regulation may remain under customs control with a view to processing for three months from the date of acceptance of the payment declaration.By way of derogation from Article 29(5) of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 for refund certificates issued for use as from 1 June for goods to be exported before 1 October the goods as listed in Annexes B and C to this Regulation may remain under a customs-warehousing or free zone procedure for three months from the date of acceptance of the payment declaration.10.For a refund to be granted on goods falling within CN codes 04031051 to 04031099, 04039071 to 04039099, 04052010, 04052030 and 21050099, the goods must meet the requirements in Directive 92/46/EEC, in particular the requirement of having been prepared in an approved establishment and of complying with the health-marking requirements specified in point A of Chapter IV of Annex C thereto.For a refund to be granted on goods falling within CN codes 35021190 and 35021990, the goods must comply with the provisions laid down in Chapter XI of the Annex to Directive 89/437/EEC.

Article 171.Pursuant to Article 16, for goods falling within CN codes 04052010, 04052030, 18069060 to 18069090, 1901 or 21069098 containing a high percentage of milk products falling within CN codes 04021019, 04022119, 040500 or 0406, hereinafter referred to as "milk products", the party concerned must also declare either:(a)that none of the milk products have been imported from non-member countries under special arrangements providing for a reduced tariff,or(b)the quantities of the milk products imported from non-member countries under special arrangements providing for a reduced tariff.2.For the purposes of paragraph 1, "containing a high percentage" shall mean 51 kilograms or more of milk products used per 100 kilograms of goods exported.3.Where a request is made for the quantities to be determined in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 3(2), the competent authority may accept an attestation by the party concerned that the milk products to be used will not have benefited from special arrangements providing for a reduced import tariff.4.The declaration made in accordance with paragraph 1 or attestation made in pursuance of paragraph 3 may be accepted by the competent authority where it is satisfied that the price paid for the milk product incorporated in the exported goods is at or close to the price prevailing on the Community market for an equivalent product. In comparing the prices, account shall be taken of the date the milk product was purchased.5.Where milk products which have benefited from special arrangements providing for a reduced tariff have been used, the refund shall be calculated in accordance with Article 17 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999.

Article 18The refund referred to in Article 1(1) shall not be granted on goods put into free circulation in accordance with Article 24 of the Treaty and re-exported.Likewise, no refund shall be granted on such goods when they are exported after processing or when they are incorporated in other goods.

Article 19The Commission shall adapt the present Regulation in line with amendments of the combined nomenclature and shall adapt Annex B so as to maintain equivalence with the respective Annexes of the Regulations referred to in Article 1(1).

ANNEX C

This quantity refers to maize (corn) in grain form adjusted to correspond to a moisture content of 72 % by weight.This content shall be determined by subtracting from the total ash content of the product that part of the ash which derives from the eggs incorporated therein, on a basis of 0,04 % by weight of ash per 50 g, rounded down to the nearest 50 g.This amount shall be reduced by 1,6 kg/100 kg per 50 g of eggs in shell (or the equivalent thereof in other egg products) per kilogram of pasta.5 kg/100 kg per 50 g of eggs in shell (or the equivalent thereof in other egg products) per kilogram of pasta, any intermediate amount being rounded down to the nearest 50 g.Pre-cooked rice means wholly milled rice in grains which has been pre-cooked and partially dried in order to facilitate final cooking.This quantity applies to beer of not less than 11° Plato and not more than 12° Plato. For beer of less than 11° Plato, this quantity shall be reduced by 9 % per degree Plato, the actual content being rounded down to the nearest degree Plato. For beer of more than 12° Plato, this quantity shall be increased by 9 % per degree Plato, the actual strength being rounded up to the nearest degree Plato.The quantities indicated in columns 5 and 9 for an aqueous solution of D-glucitol (sorbitol) apply to a dry-matter content of 70 % by weight. For aqueous solutions of sorbitol with a different dry-matter content, these quantities shall, as appropriate, be increased or reduced in proportion to the actual dry-matter content, and rounded down to the nearest kilogram.Quantity determined, depending on the casein used, on the basis of 291 kg of skimmed milk powder (PG 2) per 100 kg of casein.Per hectolitre of beer.
