Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 15(2) of this Regulation.

2. One or more of the following shall be taken into account when export refunds for a product are being fixed:

(a) the existing situation and future trends with regard to:

(i)

prices and availabilities of that product on the Union market,

(ii)

prices of that product on the world market;

(b) the aims of the common market organisation, which are to ensure equilibrium and the natural development of prices and trade on that market;

(c) the need to avoid disturbances likely to cause a prolonged imbalance between supply and demand on the Union market;

(d) the economic aspect of the proposed exports;

(e) the limits resulting from international agreements concluded in accordance with the Treaty;

(f) the need to establish a balance between the use of Union basic products in the manufacture of processed goods for export to third countries and the use of third country products brought in under processing arrangements;

(g) the most favourable marketing costs and transport costs from Union markets to Union ports or other places of export together with forwarding costs to the countries of destination;

(h) demand on the Union market;

(i) in respect of the pigmeat, eggs and poultrymeat sectors, the difference between prices within the Union and prices on the world market for the quantity of feed grain input required for the production in the Union of products of those sectors.

3. The amount of the refund may, where necessary to ensure a swift response to fast changing market situations, be adjusted by the Commission, by means of implementing acts, either at the request of a Member State or on its own initiative. Those implementing acts shall be adopted without applying the procedure referred to in Article 15(2).
