Article 12
United Kingdom
The export operation referred to in Article 84a(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be regarded as having taken place when:
the competent body of the Member State of production, irrespective of the Member State from which the starch was exported, has received the proof referred to in Article 13(2);
the Member State of exportation has accepted the relevant export declaration before 1 January following the end of the marketing year during which the starch was produced;
the starch in question has left the customs territory of the Community no later than 60 days after 1 January as specified in point (b);
the product has been exported without refund.
Except in cases of force majeure, if all the conditions set out in the first subparagraph are not complied with, any quantity of starch which exceeds the subquota shall be regarded as having been disposed of on the internal market.
In cases of force majeure, the competent body of the Member State on whose territory the starch was produced shall adopt measures appropriate to the circumstances cited by the party concerned.
Where the starch is exported from the territory of a Member State other than the one where it was produced, those measures shall be taken after receiving the views of the competent authorities of that Member State.
For the purposes of this Regulation, Article 36 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999f1 may be not invoked.
