sion Regulation (EC) No 2916/95 (2), and in particular

Whereas Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75
provides that the difference between prices on the worldmarket for the products listed in Article 1 (1) of thatRegulation and prices for those products within theCommunity may be covered by an export refund;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 provides that
from 1 July 1995 all exports for which refunds arerequested, with the exception of exports of day-old chicks,shall be subject to the presentation of an export licencewith advance fixing of the refund; whereas the specificimplementing rules for these arrangements are laid downin Commission Regulation (EC) No 1372/95 (
3), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 2370/96 (4);
Whereas the present market situation in certain third

Whereas the representative market rates defined in Article
1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3813/92 (
5), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 150/95 (6), are used to
