COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2513/98 of 20 November 1998 amending Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 laying down certain detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 on the granting of export refunds on cereals and the measures to be taken in the event of disturbance on the market for cereals

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 923/96 (2), and in particular Article 13(11) thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1501/95 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2094/98 (4), in order to calculate the export refunds on processed products, the processing coefficients applicable must be known; whereas those coefficients are in fact the figures set out in Annex I to that Regulation; whereas, in view of technical progress in the sector, the figures laid down for unroasted and roasted malt need to be adjusted; whereas Regulation (EC) No 2094/98 updates those coefficients;

Whereas the new coefficients are applicable from 1 September 1998; whereas, however, for export licences for malt used in September the coefficients valid before the change provided for in that Regulation continue to apply for the purpose of calculating the monthly increase;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
