COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2336/1999

of 3 November 1999

amending Regulation (EC) No 1371/95 laying down detailed rules for implementing the system of
export licences in the egg sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

2. Article 4 is replaced by the following:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

‘Article 4

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 Articles 3(2) and 8(13) and
Article 15 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

(5)

(6)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1371/95 (3), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1008/98 (4), lays down
detailed rules for implementing the system of export
licences in the egg sector;

the present provisions on the term of validity of export
licences lead to an artificial increase in applications for
licences at the beginning of each month, which compli-
cates the weekly administration of the arrangements.
The term of validity should accordingly be fixed in days
rather than months;

in the light of experience gained, the procedure provided
for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1371/95 for
issuing licences immediately should be simplified and
guarantees provided to operators as regards the issuing
and validity of such licences. However, such licences
should be restricted to short-term commercial transac-
tions in order to prevent the mechanism provided for in
Article 3 of that Regulation from being circumvented;

the rules on communications between the Member
States and the Commission should be brought into line
with the amendments to the arrangements on licences
issued immediately;

the securities fixed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No
1371/95 must be adjusted to recent changes in refunds;

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:
