SECTION IV Inward Processing

Subsection I inward processing without examination of the economic conditions

Article 18Inward processing of agricultural products without examination of the economic conditions

1.Where non-Annex I goods are obtained from agricultural products listed in Annex III to this Regulation under inward processing, the economic conditions referred to in Article 117(c) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 shall be deemed to have been fulfilled on presentation of an inward processing certificate for those agricultural products.

2.Inward processing certificates shall be issued for agricultural products used in the manufacturing of the non-Annex I goods within the limits of quantities determined by the Commission.

Those quantities shall be determined by balancing, on the one hand, the compulsory budgetary limits for export refunds for non-Annex I goods and, on the other hand, the expected expenditure requirements for export refunds for non-Annex I goods, and in particular, by taking account of:

(a)the estimated volume of exports of the non-Annex I goods concerned;

(b)the Union market and world market situation of the relevant basic products, where applicable;

(c)economic and regulatory factors.

The quantities shall be reviewed at regular intervals in order to take account of developments in economic and regulatory factors.

3.Member States shall issue the inward processing certificates referred to in paragraph 1 to any applicant for a certificate who is established in the Union, irrespective of that applicant’s place of establishment.

Inward processing certificates shall be valid throughout the Union.
