of 26 August 2004

amending Regulation (EC) No 2295/2003 introducing detailed rules for implementing Council
Regulation (EEC) No 1907/90 on certain marketing standards for eggs

Having regard to the Treaty
Community,

establishing the European

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1907/90 of 26
June 1990 on certain marketing standards for eggs (1) and in
particular Articles 5(3), 7(1)(d), 10(3), 20(1) and 22(2) thereof,

Whereas:

The experience gained in applying Commission Regu-
lation (EC) No 2295/2003 (2) shows that adjustments
should be made to certain provisions of that Regulation.

The work of collectors involves collecting eggs from
production sites and delivering them to packing centres
and other establishments, including undertakings in the
food and non-food industries.
It should be specified
which establishments such deliveries may be made to.

The quality of eggs depends in part on how quickly they
are collected from the production site and delivered to
the packing centre. The fact that operators use different
collecting and delivery procedures must not result
in
certain forms of organisation having an advantage over
others. It is therefore necessary to specify the time limits
applicable to the different practices used.

operations

The Community rules distinguish between operators
in which they handle

be approved where they merely engage in storage and

temperatures. Accordingly,
transport eggs between the production site and the estab-
lishment which is to handle the eggs should be required
only to register; detailed rules should be laid down
regarding approval and separate formalities should be
introduced for registering this category of collectors.

(EC) No 2052/2003 (OJ L 305, 22.11.2003, p. 1).

Because eggs lose water and weight between the time
they are laid and the date on which they are sold to
the end consumer, it should be specified that the total
net weight indicated when the eggs are packed must
correspond at least to the total net weight of the eggs
when they are sold to the end consumer.

Grade A eggs may be delivered to the industry without
having been graded by weight. The distinguishing
marking ‘Grade A eggs’ should therefore be applied to
containers delivered to the establishments concerned.

The marking of eggs and packs as provided for in
Articles 7 and 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/90 may
be done on different dates. Those dates should be
specified.

In order to prevent fraud in the use of exclusive contracts
as referred to in Article 8(5) of Regulation (EC) No
2295/2003, the Member States should be free to fix a
minimum duration of more than one month for such
contracts.

In order to ensure proper traceability for eggs transferred
from one packing centre to another, the first packing
centre should be required to stamp the eggs before
they are delivered to the second.

So that eggs are marked in the same way irrespective of

In order to inform consumers of the meaning of the
distinguishing number of the producer and the codes
used where eggs are sold in bulk,
it must be made
compulsory to provide an explanation on large packs
and other packs, such as those covered with plastic
film, or on a separate notice.

To inform consumers in cases where eggs are sold as
‘chilled eggs’,

(16)

In line with the Community's international obligations,
grade B eggs imported from third countries are exempt
from the marking requirements. However, given the risk
of fraud inherent in such trade on the internal market,
surveillance measures should be put in place to ensure
that the products reach the correct final destination.

In the case of eggs imported from third countries,
Community legislation provides for the recognition of
the standards applied in certain third countries
in
accordance with Article 11 of Council Regulation (EEC)
No 2092/91 of 24 June 1991 on organic production of
agricultural products and indications referring thereto on
agricultural products and foodstuffs (1). Such eggs should
be marked directly in the country of origin concerned,
under the same conditions as those provided for in the
Community.

(17)

In order to rationalise the presentation of the measures
on the recording of information to be provided by the
different categories of economic operators,
the obli-
gations provided for in Articles 25, 26 and 27 of Regu-
lation (EC) No 2295/2003 should be grouped by
category of operator and by type of obligation.

(18) Article 6(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1907/90 provides
that certain packing centres may be approved for
washing eggs. The notification containing the list of
packing centres must therefore also contain this specific
additional information.

(19)

Certain derogations from the minimum requirements
applicable to production systems remain in force until
the dates specified in Article 4 of Council Directive
1999/74/EC of 19 July 1999 laying down minimum
standards for the protection of laying hens (2). However,
those derogations may not concern obligations imposed

in
by Community legislation applicable previously,
particular the minimum requirements set out in points
(c) and (d) of Annex II to Commission Regulation (EEC)

accordingly.
