COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 496/2004

of 17 March 2004

fixing the export refunds on poultrymeat applicable from 18 March 2004

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 of 29
October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in
poultrymeat (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of
Article 8(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

(3)

Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 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 on the Community market
may be covered by an export refund.

It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the
present situation on the market in poultrymeat 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.

Article 21 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999
of 15 April 1999 laying down detailed rules for the
application of the system of export refunds on agri-
cultural products (2) stipulates that no refund is granted
if the products are not of sound and fair marketable
quality on the date on which the export declaration is

accepted. In order to ensure uniform application of the
rules in force, it should be stated that, in order to qualify
for the refund, the poultrymeat listed in Article 1 of
Regulation (EC) No 2777/75 must bear the health mark
as laid down in Council Directive 71/118/EEC of 15
February 1971 on health problems affecting trade in
fresh poultrymeat (3).

(4)

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 codes of products for which, when they are exported, the
export refund referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No
2777/75 is granted and the amount of that refund shall be as
shown in the Annex hereto.

However, in order to qualify for the refund, products falling
within the scope of Chapter XII of the Annex to Directive 71/
118/EEC must also satisfy the health marking conditions laid
down in that Directive.

This Regulation shall enter into force on 18 March 2004.

Article 2

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

Done at Brussels, 17 March 2004.
