COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 135/98

of 20 January 1998

fixing the export refunds on poultrymeat

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75
of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the
market in poultrymeat (1), as last amended by Commis-
sion Regulation (EC) No 2916/95 (2), and in particular
Article 8 (3) thereof,

Whereas Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75
provides that the difference between prices on the world
market for the products listed in Article 1 (1) of that
Regulation and prices for
those products within the
Community may be covered by an export refund;

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 provides that
from 1 July 1995 all exports for which refunds are
requested, with the exception of exports of day-old chicks,
shall be subject to the presentation of an export licence
with advance fixing of the refund; whereas the specific
implementing rules for these arrangements are laid down
in 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
countries and that regarding competition on particular
third country markets make it necessary to fix a refund
differentiated by destination for certain products in the
poultrymeat sector;

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
convert amounts expressed in third country currencies

and are used as the basis for determining the agricultural
conversion rates of the Member States’ currencies; whereas
detailed rules on the application and determination of
these conversions were set by Commission Regulation
(EEC) No 1068/93 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EC)
No 1482/96 (8);

Whereas it follows from applying these rules and criteria
to the present situation on the market in poultrymeat that
the refund should be fixed at an amount which would
permit Community participation in world trade and
would also take account of the nature of these exports and
their importance at the present time;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are
the Management
in accordance with the opinion of
Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The list of product codes for which, when they are
exported, the export refund referred to in Article 8 of
Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 is granted, and the amount
of that refund shall be as shown in the Annex hereto for
exports to be carried out on the basis of
the export
licences referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No
1372/95 or on the basis of the ‘ex-post’ export licences
referred to in Article 9 of the same Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 21 January
1998.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member
States.

Done at Brussels, 20 January 1998.
