COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3360/84
of 30 November 1984
fixing the export refunds on oil seeds
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC
of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a
common organization of the market in oils and fats ('),
as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2260/84 (2),
Having regard to Council Regulation No 142/67/EEC
of 21 June 1967 on export refunds on colza, rape and
sunflower seeds (3), as last amended by Regulation
(EEC) No 2429/72 (4), and in particular the first
sentence of Article 2 (3) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No
1223/83 of 20 May 1983 on the exchange rates to be
applied in agriculture (*), as last amended by Regula
tion (EEC) No 855/84 (6),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No
1 569/72 of 20 July 1 972 laying down special measures
for colza, rape and sunflower seed Q, as last amended
by Regulation (EEC) No 1474/84 (8), and in particular
Article 2 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the opinion of the Monetary
Committee,
Whereas Article 28 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC
provides that a refund may be granted on exports to
third countries of oil seeds harvested within the
Community ; whereas the amount of this refund may
not exceed the difference between prices within the
Community and prices on the world market where the
former are higher than the latter ; whereas Article 21
of Regulation No 136/66/EEC provides that, at
present, Article 28 of that Regulation applies only to
colza, rape and sunflower seeds ;
Whereas Article 3 of Regulation No 142/67/EEC
provides that when the refund is being calculated
account must be taken of prices ruling on the various
Community markets which are representative from the
point of view of processing and exportation ; the most
favourable quotations recorded on the various markets
of importing third countries and costs incurred in
placing the goods on the world market ; whereas,
when the amount of the refund is being fixed, account
must also be taken of the level of market prices within
the Community for the oil seeds referred to in Article
21 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC and the future trend
of these prices ; whereas, furthermore, account should
be taken of the economic aspect of the proposed
exports and the situation in the Community regarding
the supply of and demand for these seeds ;
Whereas Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EEC)
No 651 /71 of 29 March 1971 on certain detailed rules
for the application of export refunds on oil seeds (9), as
last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 181 5/84 ( 10),
provides that the amount of the refund must be calcu
lated on the basis of the weight of exported seeds ;
whereas this weight must be adjusted to take account
of any differences between the percentages of moisture
and impurities found to exist and those used to define
the standard quality for which the target price is fixed ;
whereas, when this adjustment is being made, the
weight of the exported seeds must be increased by the
amount of the difference between the actual moisture
and impurities content and that used to define the
standard quality if the former is lower than the latter ;
whereas, if the opposite applies, the weight of the
exported seeds must be reduced by the same amount ;
Whereas the standard quality referred to above was
defined in Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No
1102/84 (");
Whereas Article 2 of Regulation No 142/67/EEC
provides that the refund may be varied according to
destination where the world market situation or the
specific requirements of certain markets make this
necessary ;
Whereas Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 651 /71
provides for the publication of the amount of the final
refund obtained from the conversion into each of the
national currencies of the amount of the refund in
ECU plus or minus the differential amount ; whereas
Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1813/84 (u) defined
the elements which determine the differential
amounts ; whereas these elements are equal to the

incidence on the target price or the refund of the coef
ficient derived from the percentage referred to in
Article 2 ( 1 ) of Regulation (EEC) No 1569/72 ;
whereas, according to these provisions, this percentage
represents :
(a) for those Member States whose currencies are
maintained as between themselves within a spread
at any given moment of 2,25 % , the difference
between :
— the conversion rate used under the common
agricultural policy, and
— the conversion rate resulting from the central
rate ,
(b) for Italy, the United Kingdom and Greece, the
difference between :
— the relationship between the conversion rate
used under the common agricultural policy for
the currency of the Member State concerned
and the central rate of each of the currencies of
the Member States referred to in (a), and
— the spot market rate for the currency of the
Member State in question in relation to each of
the currencies of the Member States referred to
in (a), as recorded over a period to be deter
mined ;
Whereas, however, pursuant to Article 2a of Regula
tion (EEC) No 1569/72, the monetary disparity for the
marketing years 1984/85 to 1986/87 will be calculated
by a method which takes into account a coefficient
applied to the conversion rate resulting from the
central rate ; whereas the said Article 2a fixed the coef
ficient for the beginning of the 1984/85 marketing
year ; whereas account should be taken thereof in
respect of colza and rape seed with effect from 1 July
1984, and in respect of sunflower seed with effect from
1 August 1 984 ;
Whereas pursuant to Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC)
No 1569 /72 forward differential amounts are to be
determined where the forward exchange rate for one
or more currencies differs from the spot rate by at least
a given percentage ; whereas this percentage has been
fixed at 0,5 by Regulation (EEC) No 1813/84 ;
Whereas where, for one or more months, forward
exchange rates are not available, the rate adopted for
the previous month or the following month , as the
case may be, is to be used ;
Whereas, for the period 21 to 27 November 1984, for
certain currencies :
— for the current month, the difference referred to in
Article 2 ( 1 ) of Regulation (EEC) No 1569/72
differs by more than one point from the percen
tage adopted for the previous fixing,
— for certain following months the difference
referred to in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No
1569/72 exceeds 0,5 % ; whereas this difference in
the case of certain forward differential amounts
differs by more than one point from the percen
tage adopted for the previous fixing ;
Whereas it follows from applying these provisions to
the current situation of the oil-seeds market and to the
rates or prices of these products that, pursuant to
Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 651 /71 , the amount
of the refund in ECU and the amount of the final
refund in each of the national currencies must, in the
case of colza and rape seed, be fixed in accordance
with the Annex to this Regulation ; whereas it is not
necessary to fix a refund for sunflower seed ;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation
are in accordance with the opinion of the Management
Committee for Oils and Fats ,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
Article 1
In the case of colza and rape seed, the amounts of the
refund referred to in Article 4 ( 1 ) of Regulation (EEC)
No 651 /71 shall be as set out in the Annex hereto .
No refund is fixed for sunflower seed .
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 .
