COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2171/1999

of 13 October 1999

fixing the rates of the refunds applicable to eggs and egg yolks exported in the form of goods not
covered by Annex I 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 organisation of the market in
eggs (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No
1516/96 (2), and in particular Article 8(3) thereof,
(1) 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
the system of
detailed rules for the application of
granting export refunds on certain agricultural products
exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex I
to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of
such refunds (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
1702/1999 (4), specifies the products for which a rate of
refund should be fixed, to be applied where these prod-
ucts are exported in the form of goods listed in the
Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75;

(2) 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 unpro-
cessed;

(3) Whereas Article 11 of the Agreement on Agriculture
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;

(4) 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.
