of 17 February 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;

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 determina-
tion of these conversions were set by Commission Regu-
lation (EEC) No 1068/93 (7), as last amended by Regula-
tion (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
these
exports and their importance at the present time;

the nature of

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