COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1716/2005

of 19 October 2005

fixing the export refunds on eggs applicable from 20 October 2005

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty
Community,

establishing the European

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 of 29
October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in
eggs (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 8(3)
thereof,

Whereas:

(3)

(4)

Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 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 eggs 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.

The present market situation in certain third countries
and that regarding competition makes it necessary to
fix a refund differentiated by destination for certain
products in the egg sector.

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 egg products listed in Article 1 of
Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 must bear the health mark
laid down in Council Directive 89/437/EEC of 20 June
1989 on hygiene and health problems affecting the
production and the placing on the market of egg
products (3).

(5)

The negotiations within the framework of the Europe
Agreements between the European Community and
Romania and Bulgaria aim in particular to liberalise
trade in products covered by the common organisation
of the market concerned. For these two countries export
refunds should therefore be abolished. That abolition
should not, however, lead to a differentiated refund for
exports to other countries.

(6)

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
2771/75 is granted and the amount of that refund shall be as
shown in the Annex hereto.

in order to qualify for the refund, products falling
However,
within the scope of Chapter XI of
the Annex to Directive
89/437/EEC must also satisfy the health marking conditions
laid down in that Directive.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 20 October 2005.

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