INSPECTIONS ; IN ITS VIEW , THIS LAST POINT CANNOT BE IGNORED WHEN THE QUESTION REFERRED TO THE COURT BY THE COLLEGE VAN BEROEP IS EXAMINED .
12 IN ITS WRITTEN OBSERVATIONS THE COMMISSION ARGUES THAT IN ARTICLE 2 OF REGULATION NO 2777/75 THE COMMUNITY LEGISLATURE EXPRESSED ITS INTENTION TO ' ' OCCUPY THE GROUND ' ' REGARDING THE MATTERS GOVERNED BY THE ORGANIZATION OF THE MARKET AND THAT MEMBER STATES MAY THEREFORE NO LONGER LEGISLATE ON THOSE MATTERS . IN ITS OPINION , THE MAINTENANCE OF NATIONAL QUALITY STANDARDS DISTURBS THE FUNCTIONING OF THE MARKET ORGANIZATION AND MAKES THE SUBSEQUENT INTRODUCTION OF COMMUNITY QUALITY STANDARDS MORE DIFFICULT .
13 IN REPLY TO QUESTIONS PUT BY THE COURT THE COMMISSION ADMITTED THAT THE COMMUNITY MAY HARDLY CONTINUE TO CLAIM TO HAVE EXCLUSIVE POWERS IN THIS AREA IF IT DOES NOT EXERCISE THEM IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME . IT THEREFORE CONSIDERS IT PERMISSIBLE FOR MEMBER STATES TO MAINTAIN THEIR EXISTING QUALITY AND MARKETING STANDARDS , PROVIDED THAT THEY ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE AIM OF THE COMMON ORGANIZATION OF THE MARKET . AT THE SAME TIME IT DRAWS ATTENTION TO THE DANGER TO THE FREE MOVEMENT OF THE PRODUCTS IN QUESTION WHICH MIGHT ARISE IF , OWING TO THE COUNCIL ' S INACTION , MEMBER STATES INTRODUCE THEIR OWN QUALITY RULES , WHICH , OWING TO THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THEM , MIGHT CREATE OBSTACLES TO TRADE BETWEEN MEMBER STATES . IT THEREFORE EMPHASIZES THAT ANY POWERS WHICH MAY BE RECOGNIZED AS BEING VESTED IN THE MEMBER STATES IN THIS FIELD ARE SUBORDINATE AND TRANSITIONAL ONLY , AND THAT IN ANY EVENT THE MEMBER STATES MUST GRANT FREE ACCESS TO THEIR MARKETS TO PRODUCTS WHICH HAVE BEEN LEGALLY MARKETED IN THE MEMBER STATE OF ORIGIN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LEGISLATION APPLICABLE THERE .
14 AS REGARDS THE NETHERLANDS REGULATION , THE COMMISSION ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT CONTAINS NO PROVISIONS WHICH , CONSIDERED IN ISOLATION , RUN COUNTER TO THE AIM OF THE COMMON ORGANIZATION OF THE MARKET . IT CONSIDERS , HOWEVER , THAT IF THAT REGULATION WERE APPLIED TO IMPORTED POULTRY ITS DETAILED NATURE MIGHT CREATE OBSTACLES TO INTRA-COMMUNITY TRADE .
15 FINALLY , THE COMMISSION CONSIDERS IT UNNECESSARY TO EXAMINE THE QUESTION OF HEALTH REGULATIONS , WHICH ARE NOT THE SUBJECT-MATTER OF THE QUESTION RAISED BY THE NATIONAL COURT AND WHICH AT THE COMMUNITY LEVEL ARE GOVERNED BY PROVISIONS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE GOVERNING THE COMMON ORGANIZATION OF THE MARKET .
16 BEFORE THE QUESTION RAISED BY THE COLLEGE VAN BEROEP IS EXAMINED IT SHOULD BE OBSERVED THAT IT IS APPARENT FROM THE DOCUMENTS BEFORE THE COURT AND MORE PARTICULARLY THE ORDERS FOR REFERENCE THAT THE QUESTION TO BE RESOLVED IN THESE PROCEEDINGS DOES NOT CONCERN HEALTH CONTROL MEASURES . THIS QUESTION WAS NOT RAISED BY THE NATIONAL COURT AND COULD NOT THEREFORE BE CONSIDERED BY THE PARTIES . THE ARGUMENTS ADVANCED BY THE BOARD IN THIS REGARD MUST THEREFORE BE DISREGARDED .
