COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3356/84
of 30 November 1984
fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
feedingstuffs for which a refund may be fixed should
be taken into account ;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1913/69
of 29 September 1969 on the granting and the advance
fixing of the export refund on cereal-based compound
feedingstuffs (6), as last amended by Regulation (EEC)
No 537/83 Q, provides that calculation of the export
refund must be based on the average of the refunds
granted on the most commonly used basic cereals,
adjusted on the basis of the threshold price in force
during the month of exportation and on the levy
applicable to maize ; whereas this calculation must also
take account of the cereal products content ; whereas,
therefore, in the interest of simplification, compound
feedingstuffs should be placed in categories and the
refund for each category should be fixed on the basis
of a quantity of maize which is representative of the
usual cereal products content for the category
concerned ; whereas, furthermore, the amount of the
refund must also take into account the possibilities
and conditions for the sale of those products on the
world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the
Community market and the economic aspect of the
export ;
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 organiz
ation 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 the opinion of the Monetary
Committee ,
Whereas Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75
provides that the difference between quotations or
prices on the world market for the products listed in
Article 1 of that Regulation 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 laying down general rules
for granting export refunds on cereals and criteria for
fixing the amount of such refunds (3), provides 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 on the Commun
ity market on the one hand and prices for cereals and
cereal products on the other ; whereas the same Article
provides that it is also important to ensure equilibrium
and the natural development of prices and trade on
the cereal markets ;
Whereas it follows from applying these detailed rules
to the present situation on the market in cereal-based
compound feedingstuffs that the export refund should
be fixed at an amount which will cover the difference
between Community prices and world market prices ;
Whereas Article 7 ( 1 ) of Council Regulation (EEC) No
2743/75 of 29 October 1975 on the system to be
applied to cereal-based compound feedingstuffs (4), as
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2560/77 (5), provides
that, when export refunds on cereal-based compound
feedingstuffs are being fixed, only the products
normally used in the manufacture of compound
Whereas, however, in fixing the rate of refund it would
seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference
in the cost of raw inputs widely used in compound
feedingstuffs as between the Community and world
markets, allowing more accurate account to be taken
of the commercial conditions under which such
products are exported ;
Whereas the world market situation or the specific
requirements of certain markets may make it necessary
to vary the refund for compound feedingstuffs accord
ing to composition and destination ; whereas, for
purposes of varying the refund, the destination zones
laid down in Annex II to Commission Regulation
(EEC) No 1124/77 of 27 May 1977 redefining the
destination zones for export refunds or levies and for
certain export licences for cereals and rice (8), as
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3634/83 (9), should
be used ;

its chairman,
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)
No 974/71 ('), as last amended by Regulation (EEC)
No 855/84 (2),
— 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 ;
