§ Mr. Peter Walker[pursuant to his reply, 2 February 1983, c. 146]: Claims for export refunds or other payments from Community funds, arising out of the transaction referred to are subject to the normal procedure for examining such claims under Community rules. I have no reason to doubt that the procedure provides adequate protection against the misuse of Community funds.
