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 organization of the market in cereals, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1949/81, and in particular Articles 16 (6) and 24 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1188/81 of 28 April 1981 laying down general rules for granting refunds adjusted in the case of cereals exported in the form of certain spirituous beverages and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds and amending Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80 concerning certain products not covered by Annex II to the Treaty, and in particular Article 12 thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1842/81 prescribes the detailed rules to be applied when granting refunds in the case of cereals exported in the form of certain spirituous beverages;

Whereas Article 26 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2730/79, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2646/81, provides for the advance payment of refunds when products have been placed in a victualling warehouse; whereas in such cases the warehouse-keeper must undertake to use the products as supplies for victualling within the Community; whereas such supplies are treated as exports for refund purposes; whereas the beverages covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1842/81 should be considered as having been exported when being placed in such warehouses;

Whereas it may happen that products for victualling do not reach their destination; whereas, in such cases, the refund should be repaid or a fixed amount should be paid; whereas for such products the provisions of Articles 26 to 29 of Regulation (EEC) No 2730/79 should apply;

Whereas the most recent information available to the Commission is that the definitions in Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 1842/81 do not take proper account of existing practices in Member States producing whisky; whereas the Regulation shall consequently be amended;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
