COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3355/84
of 30 November 1984
fixing the export refunds on products processed from cereals and rice
Whereas Article 6 of Council Regulation (EEC) No
2744/75 of 29 October 1975 on the import and export
system for products processed from cereals and from
rice f7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No
1027/84 (8), defines the specific criteria to be taken
into account when the refund on these products is
being calculated ;
Whereas, on the basis of the criteria laid down in
Regulation (EEC) No 2744/75, particular account
should be taken of the prices and quantities of basic
products used to calculate the variable component of
the levy ; whereas Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No
2744/75 and Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No
1077/68 (9), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No
2764/71 ( 10), provide that the amount of the export
refund should, for certain products, be reduced by an
amount equal to the production refund granted in
respect of the basic products ;
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No
2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organ
ization of the market in cereals ('), as last amended by
Regulation (EEC) No 1018 /84 (2), and in particular the
fourth subparagraph of Article 16 (2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No
1418 /76 of 21 June 1976 on the common organization
of the market in rice (3), as last amended by Regulation
(EEC) No 1025/84 (4), and in particular the fourth
subparagraph of Article 17 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the Monetary
Committee.
Whereas Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75
and Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76
provide that the difference between quotations or
prices on the world market for the products listed in
Article 1 of those Regulations and prices for those
products within the Community may be covered by an
export refund ;
Whereas Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No
2746/75 of 29 October 1975 Q, and Article 2 of
Council Regulation (EEC) No 1431 /76 of 21 June
1976 (6) laying down general rules for granting export
refunds on cereals and rice respectively and criteria for
fixing the amount of such refunds, provide that when
refunds are being fixed account must be taken of the
existing situation and the future trend with regard to
prices and availabilities of cereals , rice and broken rice
on the Community market on the one hand and
prices for cereals , rice, broken rice and cereal products
on the world market on the other ; whereas the same
Articles provide that it is also important to ensure
equilibrium and the natural development of prices and
trade on the markets in cereals and rice and, further
more, to take into account the economic aspect of the
proposed exports, and the need to avoid disturbances
on the Community market ;
Whereas it follows from applying these detailed rules
to the present situation on the market in products
processed from cereals and rice that the export refund
should be fixed at an amount which will cover the
difference between Community prices and world
market prices ;
Whereas when the refund is being calculated account
should be taken of the quantities of raw materials used
to determine the variable component of the levy ;
whereas the quantities of raw materials used for certain
processed products may vary according to the end use
of the product ; whereas, depending on the manufac
turing process used, products other than the main
product are obtained, the quantity and value of which
may vary with the nature and quality of the main
products being manufactured ; whereas cumulation of
the refunds on the various products manufactured by a
single process from the same basic product may make
it possible, in certain cases, to export to third countries
at prices which are lower than world market prices ;
whereas the refund on certain products should there
fore be limited to an amount which , while allowing
access to the world market, will ensure that the aims of
the common organization of the markets are
respected ;

— for other currencies, an exchange rate based on the
arithmetic mean of the spot market rates of each of
these currencies recorded for a given period in
relation to the Community currencies referred to
in the previous indent, and the aforesaid coeffi
cient ;
Whereas the refund must be fixed once a month ;
whereas it may be altered in the intervening period ;
Whereas the Management Committee for Cereals has
not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by
its chairman,
Whereas the refund to be granted in respect of certain
processed products should be graduated on the basis of
the ash, crude fibre, tegument, protein, fat and starch
content of the individual product concerned, this
content being a particularly good indicator of the
quantity of basic product actually incorporated in the
processed product ;
Whereas there is no need at present to fix an export
refund for manioc, other tropical roots and tubers or
flours obtained therefrom, given the economic aspect
of potential exports and in particular the nature and
origin of these products ; whereas, for certain products
processed from cereals, the insignificance of Commu
nity participation in world trade makes it unnecessary
to fix an export refund at the present time ;
Whereas the world market situation or the specific
requirements of certain markets may make it necessary
to vary the refund for certain products according to
destination ;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2806/71 (') lays down
additional rules for granting export refunds for certain
products processed from cereals and rice ;
Whereas, if the refund system is to operate normally,
refunds should be calculated on the following basis :
— in the case of currencies which are maintained in
relation to each other at any given moment within
a band of 2,25 % , a rate of exchange based on
their central rate, multiplied by the coefficient
provided for in Article 2b (2) of Regulation (EEC)
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
Article 1
The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1
(d) of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 and in Article 1
( 1 ) (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 1418/76 and subject to
Regulation (EEC) No 2744/75 are hereby fixed as
shown in the Annex to this Regulation .
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 December
1984.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member
States .

Q The procedure to be followed for the determination of the fatty matter content is as follows :
— the sample has to be crushed so that 90 % or more can pass through a sieve with an aperture of 500 microns and 100 %
can pass through a sieve with an aperture of 1 000 microns,
— the analytical method to be used afterwards is that which is printed in Annex 1 (Method A) to Commission Directive
84/4/EEC (OJ No L 15, 18 . 1 . 1984, p. 28).
