THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 of 29 October
1975 on the common organization of the market in eggs(1), as last
amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and
by Council Regulation (EC) No 3290/94(2), and in particular Articles 5
(4) and 15 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 of 29 October
1975 on the common organization of the market in poultrymeat(3), as
last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Swedenand by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94, and in particular Articles 5 (4) and
15 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2783/75 of 29 October
1975 on the common system of trade for ovalbumin and lactalbumin(
4),
as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Swedenand by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94, and in particular Article 3 (4) and
10 thereof,
Whereas Regulations (EEC) No 2771/75, (EEC) No 2777/75 and (EEC)
No 2783/75 provide that from 1 July 1995 imports of one or more of theproducts falling under these Regulations at the rate of duty of theCommon Customs Tariff shall be subject to the payment of an additional
import duty if certain conditions set out in the Agreement on Agriculture
concluded in the framework of the Uruguay Round of multilateral tradenegotiations have been fulfilled, unless the imports are unlikely todisturb the Community market, or where the effects would bedisproportionate to the intended objective; whereas these additionalimport duties may be imposed in particular if the import prices fall
below the trigger prices;
Whereas, therefore, specific implementing rules should be laid down for
the poultrymeat and egg sectors as well as for egg albumin and thetrigger prices should be published;
Whereas the import prices to be taken into consideration for imposing an
additional import duty should be checked against the representativeprices on the world market or on the Community import market for theproducts in question; whereas it is necessary that Member Statescommunicate the prices at various stages of marketing at regularintervals in order to be able to determine the representative prices and
the corresponding additional duties;
Whereas the importer may choose that the additional duty is calculated
on a basis which is different from the representative price; whereas,however, in that case there should be provision for the lodging of asecurity equal to the amount of additional duty which he would have
paid if the additional duty had been determined on the basis of the
representative price; whereas the security will be reimbursed if, within acertain time limit, proof is provided that the conditions for the disposalof the consignment have been met; whereas, as part of a posteriori
checks, additional duty due will be recovered pursuant to Article 220 ofCouncil Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92(

customs code; whereas it is only fair that, within the framework of such
checks, interest will be added to the duty due;
Whereas the provisions of Commission Regulation No 163/67/EEC of
26 June 1967 on fixing the additional amount for imports of poultry-
farming products from third countries(1), as last amended by Regulation
(EEC) No 3821/92(2), are replaced by the provisions of this Regulation;
whereas the aforementioned Regulation should, therefore, be replaced asfrom the date of entry into force of the Agreement on Agriculture of theUruguay Round;
Whereas it results from regular monitoring of the information providing
the basis for the verification of the import prices in the poultrymeat andegg sectors as well as for egg albumin that additional duties should be
imposed on the import of certain products, taking into account variation
of prices according to origin; whereas, therefore, representative pricesand corresponding additional duties should be published for thoseproducts;
Whereas additional duties may not be imposed in particular on products
imported within tariff quotas agreed upon in the framework of theUruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations;
Whereas the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs has not
delivered an opinion within the time limit set by the chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
