# fixing the export refunds on poultrymeat

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural                           markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation)(1), and in particular Article 164(2) and Article 170, in conjunction with Article 4, thereof,                        

Whereas:

(1)Article 162(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products                              referred to in Part XX of Annex I to that Regulation and prices in the Union for those products may be covered by an export                              refund.

(2)In view of the current situation on the market in poultrymeat, export refunds should be fixed in accordance with the rules                              and criteria provided for in Articles 162, 163, 164, 167 and 169 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

(3)Article 164(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that refunds may vary according to destination, especially where the                              world market situation, the specific requirements of certain markets, or obligations resulting from agreements concluded in                              accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty make this necessary.

(4)Refunds should be granted only on products which are authorised to move freely in the Union and bear the identification mark                              provided for in Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004                              laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin(2). Those products should also comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of                              the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs(3).

(5)The currently applicable refunds have been fixed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 360/2013(4). Since new refunds should be fixed, that Regulation should therefore be repealed.

(6)In order to prevent divergence with the current market situation, to prevent market speculation and to ensure efficient management                              this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the *Official Journal of the European Union*.

(7)The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time                              limit set by its Chair,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
