For that purpose, criteria should be established for determining the refund essentially by reference to prices of the basic products within and outside the Community, and to the outlets and conditions for the sale of processed products on the world market.(4)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1For the purposes of this Regulation, the following definitions shall apply:(a)"processed products" means the products or groups of products listed:(i)in point (d) of part I of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, except the products falling within CN code ex2309;(ii)in point (c) of part II of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007;(b)"basic products" means the cereals listed in points (a) and (b) of part I of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, and broken rice referred to in point (b) of Part II of Annex I to that Regulation.
Article 21.The refund which may be granted on processed products shall be determined with particular reference to:(a)the movements of prices for the basic products within the Community, compared with world market prices;(b)the quantities of basic products needed for the manufacture of the product in question and, where applicable, their interchangeability;(c)the possible cumulation of refunds applicable to various products obtained from one and the same process and one and the same basic product;(d)outlets and conditions of sale for processed products on the world market.2.The refunds shall be fixed at least once a month.
Article 31.The refund shall be adjusted in accordance with Articles 14 and 15 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003OJ L 189, 29.7.2003, p. 12.. The adjustment shall be made by increasing or decreasing the refund by the amount resulting from each of the adjustments referred to in Article 14(1) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003, per tonne of basic product, multiplied by the coefficient listed in column 4 of Annex I to this Regulation against the processed product in question.2.For the purposes of Article 164(4) and the first paragraph of Article 166 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the amount zero shall not be considered to be a refund, and consequently the adjustment referred to in Article 15(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1342/2003 shall not apply.
Article 41.Member States shall inform the Commission, each day before 15.00 (Brussels time), of the quantities for which export licences have been applied for.2.In the case of products processed from cereals and rice mentioned in Article 162 (1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, Member States shall inform the Commission, by Wednesday of each week in respect of the preceding week and for each product code as defined in Annex I to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87OJ L 366, 24.12.1987, p. 1., of the quantities for which licences have been issued, broken down into products exported with a refund and products exported without a refund.
Article 51.Where, for one or more products, the conditions referred to in Article 187 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 are met, the following measures may be taken by the Commission:(a)application of an export tax. This tax shall be fixed by the Commission once per week. It may be varied depending on the destination;(b)total or partial suspension of the issuing of export licences;(c)total or partial rejection of pending export licence applications.2.The export tax referred to in paragraph 1(a) shall be that applicable on the day on which customs formalities are completed.However, at the request of the applicant, submitted at the same time as the licence application, the export tax applicable on the day of lodging of the licence application shall apply to an export operation to be carried out during the period of validity of the licence.3.The Commission shall notify the Member States of its decision and publish it.
Article 6The methods used for assessing the ash content, the fat content and the starch content, the denaturing process, and any other method of analysis necessary for the application of this Regulation as regards the import and export system, shall be determined, if necessary, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 195(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
