The experience gained in applying Commission Regu-
lation (EC) No 557/2007 (2) shows that adjustments
should be made to certain provisions of that Regulation.

1907/90 of 26 June 1990 on certain marketing
standards for eggs (3), provisions on marking did not
apply to eggs delivered directly to the food and non-
food industry for processing. Such provision has not
been included in Regulation (EC) No 1028/2006,

rules, a transitional period of one year,
2007 until 30 June 2008, has been established by Regu-
lation (EC) No 557/2007 for the marking of eggs for
processing produced in the Community. Similar transi-
tional measures have not been foreseen for the product
imported from third countries.
In order to avoid an
unequal treatment, a transitional period until 30 June
2008 should therefore be established for the marking
provisions for those eggs produced in third countries
and imported into the Community for processing.
