COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1163/2003

of 30 June 2003

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
493/2002 (2), and in particular Article 8(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(4)

Article 8(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 provides
that the difference between prices in international 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 1520/2000 of
13 July 2000 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 I to the Treaty, and the
criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds (3), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1052/2002 (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.

In accordance Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/
2000, 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.

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.

In accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1039/
2003 of 2 June 2003 adopting autonomous and transi-
tional measures concerning the importation of certain
