Opinion of Mr Advocate General Lenz

Mr President,

Members of the Court,

The third case on which I am to speak today also deals with problems concerning monetary compensatory amounts in connection with the processing of maize.

A. The problem in this case concerns production by the plaintiff of maize groats and meal for brewing which fall under heading 11.02 A V (a) 1 and 2 of the Common Customs Tariff, and the export of such products from Germany to Denmark, Great Britain and Sweden in the period from 29 May to 21 June 1979 and between 25 November 1980 and 15 March 1981. It also concerns the monetary compensatory amounts paid to the plaintiff for those products under Regulation (EEC) No 746/79 in respect of the first period (DM 67.01 per tonne of meal) and under Regulation (EEC) No 3013/80 — which the Court considered in Case 39/84 — in respect of the second period (DM 50.36 per tonne of groats or meal for brewing and DM 56.72 per tonne of other groats or meal).

B. My opinion on those questions is as follows :

C. On the basis of the foregoing considerations, the questions submitted by the Finangericht, Hamburg, should be answered as follows:
