COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2095/2004

of 8 December 2004

amending Regulation (EC) No 581/2004 opening a standing invitation to tender for exports refunds concerning certain types of butter and Regulation (EC) No 582/2004 opening a standing invitation to tender for exports refunds concerning skimmed milk powder

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products (1), and in particular Article 31(3)(b) and (14) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

According to Article 1(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 581/2004 (2) and to Article 1(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 582/2004 (3) certain destinations are excluded from the granting of an export refund. Following the accession of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Cyprus, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia to the European Union, the references to those countries should be deleted.

(2)

The Additional Protocol to the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Bulgaria of the other part, to take account of the accession of the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia, and the Slovak Republic to the European Union (4), provides for a new import tariff quota to be opened by Bulgaria for milk powder originating in the Community. The access to that quota is restricted to products not benefiting from any kind of export subsidies. In order to avoid speculation and to ensure the respect of that concession that is likely to come into force before the expiry of the period of validity of the export licences, referred to in Article 8(1)(d) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 580/2004 of 26 March 2004 establishing a tender procedure concerning export refunds for certain milk products (5), Bulgaria should be excluded from the destinations eligible for an export refund in the framework of the permanent tender concerning skimmed milk powder provided for in that Regulation.

(3)

Regulations (EC) No 581/2004 and (EC) No 582/2004 should be amended accordingly.

(4)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
