15.5.2007 Official Journal of the European Union L 125/7 COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 532/2007 of 14 May 2007 amending Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 laying down special detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards export licences and export refunds for milk and milk products and Regulation (EEC) No 3846/87 establishing an agricultural product nomenclature for export refunds 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 (!), and in particular Article 31(14) thereof, Whereas: (1) In order not to exceed the maximum quantities to be exported with an export refund fixed by the Agreement on Agriculture concluded during the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations (%), the second subpara- graph of Article 16(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 (}) provides that no refunds shall be granted on the sucrose component of milk products containing added sugar where the refund for the milk part of those products is zero or is not fixed. While there was a genuine risk for exceeding those maximum quantities at the time of the introduction of the provision, such risk no longer exists. (2)  Commission Regulation (EC) No 61/2007 of 25 January 2007 fixing the export refunds for milk and milk products (* abolished refunds for whole milk powder and condensed milk, thus triggering the application of the second subparagraph of Article 16(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006. The abolition of refunds for both milk and sucrose components may result in loss of substantial market shares for milk products containing added sugar. Therefore it is appropriate to reintroduce export refunds for the sucrose component of milk products containing added sugar. (3)  The second subparagraph of Article 24(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 provides that, for export of cheese to the United States under the quotas referred to in Article 23 of that Regulation, section 16 of the export () OJ L 160, 26.6.1999, p. 48.

Experience has shown that after the export licences have been issued, the United States importers may request the supply of another type of cheese of the same product group. In order to allow such flexibility, it is appropriate to adjust Article 24(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1282/2006 accordingly. (4)  Commission Regulation (EC) No 522/2006 of 30 March 2006 fixing the export refunds for milk and milk products (°) provides that from 31 March 2006 all export refunds are fixed in EUR per 100kg.
