WRITTEN QUESTION E-2521/99 by Jonas Sjöstedt (GUE/NGL) to the Commission. Egg collection and dating.

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(26 January 2000)

At its meeting of 22 December 1999, in accordance with the provisions of Article 141 of the Act of
Accession, the Commission approved a programme of state aids for Finnish farmers covering the period
2000-2003. This programme includes an aid to be granted in respect of laying hens, which is recalculated
from the aid allowed by Article 138 of the Act of Accession for eggs up to the end of 1999. The new aid
is degressive, with an average annual decrease of 4,5 % from the amount allowed for 1999.

The Commission took this decision after careful examination of a report presented by the Finnish
authorities which showed that there were serious difficulties remaining for Finnish agriculture resulting
from Accession. However, the overall amount of aid approved by the Commission is below that originally
requested by Finland.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2521/99

by Jonas Sj(cid:246)stedt (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(22 December 1999)

Subject: Egg collection and dating

In reply to my question No E-1712/99 (1), the Commission explained that Sweden and Finland are allowed
an exception to EU rules on egg collection to the effect that collection may take place once a week
provided that the eggs are kept in cold storage. Does this exception mean that eggs collected once a week
may also be dated 25 days ahead?

(1) OJ C 219 E, 1.8.2000, p. 18.

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(26 January 2000)

The common marketing standards for eggs provide that the date of minimum durability ((cid:145)best-before date(cid:146))
must be indicated on large and small packs containing grade A eggs (Article 10(1)e) of Council Regulation
(EEC) no 1907/90 of 26 June 1990 on certain marketing standards for eggs) (1). According to Article 16(2)
of Commission Regulation (EEC) no 1274/91 of 15 May 1991 (2)
implementing Regulation (EEC)
No 1907/90 the best-before date corresponds to the sell-by date plus seven days.

Regarding the sell-by date, Article 3 of Council Decision 94/371/EC of 20 June 1994 laying down specific
public health conditions for the putting on the market of certain types of eggs (3) provides that eggs shall
be delivered to the consumer within 21 days after laying. The best-before date is therefore not more than
28 days after laying.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2806/1999

of 22 December 1999

fixing the amount of the flat-rate premium for certain fishery products during the 2000 fishing year

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 4176/88 of
28 December 1988 laying down detailed rules for the grant of
a flat-rate aid for certain fishery products and aquaculture

93 (2), and in particular Article 11 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

The flat-rate premium should encourage the producers'
the destruction of products
organisations to prevent
withdrawn from the market.

The amount of the premium must be fixed in such a
way as to take account of the interdependence of the
markets concerned and of the need to prevent distortion
of competition.

The amount of the premium must not exceed the tech-
nical and financial costs of processing and storage
recorded during the previous fishing year, the highest
costs being disregarded.

On the basis of the information concerning the technical
and financial costs associated with the concerned opera-
tions recorded in the Community, the amount of the

premium should be fixed for the 2000 fishing year as
shown below.

(5)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for fishery products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

For the 2000 fishing year, the amount of the flat-rate premium
for the products listed in Annex VI to Council Regulation (EEC)
No 3759/92 (3) shall be as follows:

(a) freezing and storage of products, whole, gutted with head,

or cut:
— 130 euro/tonne, for the first month,
— 15 euro/tonne, per additional month;

(b) filleting, freezing and storage:

— 206 euro/tonne, for the first month,
— 15 euro/tonne, per additional month.

This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 2000.
