COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 836/98

of 21 April 1998

fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to eggs and egg yolks exported in the
form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty

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 Commission Regu-
lation (EC) No 1516/96 (2), and in particular Article 8 (3)
thereof,

Whereas Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75
provides that
the difference between prices in inter-
national trade for the products listed in Article 1 (1) of
that Regulation and prices within the Community may be
covered by an export refund where these goods are
exported in the form of goods listed in the Annex to that
Regulation; whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No
1222/94 of 30 May 1994 laying down common detailed
rules for the application of the system of granting export
refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the
form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty, and
the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (3), as
last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1909/97 (4), specifies
the products for which a rate of refund should be fixed, to
be applied where these products are exported in the form
of goods listed in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No
2771/75;

Whereas, in accordance Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EC)
No 1222/94, the rate of the refund per 100 kilograms for
each of the basic products in question must be fixed for a
period of the same duration as that for which refunds are
fixed for the same products exported unprocessed;

the Agreement on Agriculture
Whereas Article 11 of
concluded under the Uruguay Round lays down that the
export refund for a product contained in a good may not
exceed the refund applicable to that product when
exported without further processing;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The rates of the refunds applicable to the basic products
appearing in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 1222/94
and listed in Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/
75, exported in the form of goods listed in the Annex I to
Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75, are hereby fixed as shown
in the Annex hereto.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 22 April 1998.

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

Done at Brussels, 21 April 1998.
