fixing the export refunds on eggs

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 of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75
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 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
egg sector;

Whereas it follows from applying these rules and criteria
to the present situation on the market in eggs 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
in accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The list of codes of products for which, when they are
exported, the export refund referred to in Article 8 of
Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 is granted, and the amount
of that refund shall be as shown in the Annex hereto.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 25 March 1999.

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