• CELEX: Regulation (EEC) No 2007/75
• Articles: 5

Article 1

1. The export levy provided for in Article 6 (2) of Regulation No 1955/75 shall be introduced when it is found that the import levy on maize, common wheat or broken rice is at least 3 units of account/metric ton less than the amount of the production refund valid in the current month and that the average of the levies valid in the immediately following fortnight is at least 3 units of account/metric ton less than the average of the production refund valid in that fortnight.

2. (a) The export levy shall be equal, per metric ton of basic product, to the difference between the production refund valid on the day on which this export levy is fixed and the average of the import levies applicable on the seven days preceding the day it comes into force. (1)OJ No 117, 19.6.1967, p. 2269/67. (2)OJ No L 72, 20.3.1975, p. 14. (3)OJ No 174, 31.7.1967, p. 1. (4)OJ No L 72, 20.3.1975, p. 18. (5)OJ No L 200, 31.7.1975, p. 1. (6)OJ No L 67, 14.3.1975, p. 16.

(b) This difference shall then be multiplied for the products mentioned in Article 1 by the coefficients relating to these products shown in column 4 of the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1052/68 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 980/75 (2).

The export levy shall be altered if application of the provisions of paragraph 2 (a) entails an increase or a reduction of more than 0 78 unit of account per metric ton of basic product.

3. For the new Member States, the import levy and the production refund referred to in the preceding paragraphs shall be the levy and the refund on the product in question less the relevant accession/compensatory amount.

Article 2

The export levy shall be fixed by the Commission once a week.

Article 3

1. The export levy may be fixed in advance. The export levy on the products referred to in Article 1 shall be fixed in advance, at the request of the party concerned, when application for a licence is made, in respect of exports to be effected during the period of validity of that licence.

In that case, the amount of the levy fixed in advance shall be that which applies on the day on which application for the export licence is made.

2. In the case of modification to the production refunds specified in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1955/75 between the day of application and the day of export, the export levy fixed in advance shall be adjusted. This adjustment shall be made by increasing or decreasing the prefixed amount of the levy by the difference resulting from such modification, this difference being multiplied by the coefficient shown in column 4 of the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 1052/68 for the products in question.

Article 4

Regulation (EEC) No 1981/74 is hereby repealed with effect from the dates shown in Article 5 for the products mentioned.

Article 5

This Regulation shall enter into force on: - 1 August 1975 for products coming under Regulation No 120/67/EEC,

- 1 September 1975 for products coming under Regulation No 359/67/EEC.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 31 July 1975.
