Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 of 4 March 1980 on the advance payment of export refunds in respect of agricultural products (3),

Whereas Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 applies to processed products and goods obtained from basic products, provided that inward processing arrangements are not prohibited for comparable products ; whereas the list of these products referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 565/80 should be drawn up ; whereas inward processing is prohibited for certain products which are comparable with the basic products;

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1961/75 of 28 July 1975 on the prohibition of the use of inward processing arrangements in respect of skimmed-milk powder (4), and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3066/75 of 24 November 1975 on the prohibition of the use of inward processing arrangements in respect of butter (5), both as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1363/80 (6), expired on 31 March 1981 ; whereas the list of products which do not qualify for the system of advance payment for export refunds should be adapted ; whereas it is therefore necessary to repeal Commission Regulation (EEC) No 800/80 (7);
