Proposal  tor a 

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) 

amending  Regulation  (EEC) N* 1907/90 on certain  marketing 
standards for  eggs 

(presented  by the Commission) 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

Regulation  (EEC)  No.  1907/90  on  common  egg  marketing  standards  provides  a 
derogation  for  sales from producers to retailers  in certain  regions  of Finland  in view 
of the specific  condition  of egg marketing  in these regions. 

It is proposed to remove the less remote areas form this list since an increased number 
of egg packing centres has led to an improvement in the marketing conditions in those 
areas  since the  Accession.  It is also proposed  to  authorise  possible  future  reductions 
of  this  list  in  accordance  with  the  Management  Committee  procedure  in  order  to 
facilitate  future  adaptation  of the list of areas  concerned. 

The proposed measure has no financial  consequence for  the Community  budget.
