SIZE FIXED IN THE ANNEX TO THAT REGULATION .
17 IN IMPLEMENTATION OF ARTICLE 7 ( 2 ) OF REGULATION NO 234/68 , THE COMMISSION ADOPTED REGULATION ( EEC ) NO 1767/68 ON THE SYSTEM OF MINIMUM PRICES FOR EXPORTS TO THIRD COUNTRIES OF FLOWERING CORMS , BULBS AND TUBERS .
18 THE RULES FOR IMPLEMENTATION CONTAINED IN THAT REGULATION PROVIDE THAT THE MINIMUM COMMUNITY PRICES SHALL BE DETERMINED , ACCORDING TO ARTICLE 1 , WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO ' ANY MINIMUM EXPORT PRICES WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN APPLIED BY MEMBER STATES DURING THE THREE YEARS PRECEDING THE YEAR IN WHICH THE MINIMUM PRICES ARE FIXED ' .
19 ARTICLE 2 OF THAT REGULATION PROHIBITS THE EXPORT TO THIRD COUNTRIES OF ANY PRODUCT COVERED BY THE MINIMUM EXPORT PRICE SYSTEM AT A PRICE LOWER THAN THE MINIMUM PRICE APPLICABLE TO THAT PRODUCT AND PROVIDES THAT WHERE NO MINIMUM PRICE HAS BEEN FIXED FOR A PARTICULAR SIZE OF A GIVEN PRODUCT THE LOWEST MINIMUM EXPORT PRICE FIXED FOR THAT PRODUCT SHALL APPLY TO THE SIZE IN QUESTION .
20 ARTICLE 1 OF REGULATION ( EEC ) NO 369/75 OF THE COMMISSION FIXING FOR THE RELEVANT MARKETING YEAR MINIMUM PRICES FOR EXPORTS TO THIRD COUNTRIES OF CERTAIN FLOWERING CORMS , BULBS AND TUBERS , PROVIDES THAT THE MINIMUM PRICES ARE FIXED FOR EACH PRODUCT AT THE LEVELS INDICATED IN THE ANNEX TO THAT REGULATION .
21 THE ANNEX IN QUESTION SHOWS THAT MINIMUM EXPORT PRICES ARE FIXED IN EXPRESS TERMS ONLY FOR CERTAIN OF THE PRODUCTS LISTED IN THE ANNEX TO REGULATION NO 315/68 AND FOR CERTAIN SIZES LARGER THAN THE MINIMUM SIZES INDICATED IN REGULATION NO 315/68 .
22 HOWEVER , IT IS CLEAR FROM ARTICLE 2 OF REGULATION NO 1767/68 THAT A MINIMUM EXPORT PRICE IS ALSO APPLICABLE TO SIZES OTHER THAN THOSE FOR WHICH REGULATION NO 369/75 EXPRESSLY FIXED SUCH A PRICE .
23 THAT MINIMUM EXPORT PRICE IS EQUAL TO THE LOWEST MINIMUM PRICE FIXED BY REGULATION NO 369/75 FOR THE PRODUCT IN QUESTION .
24 FURTHERMORE , IT EMERGES FROM THE COMMUNITY RULES AS A WHOLE THAT PRODUCTS WHICH ARE SMALLER THAN THE MINIMUM SIZES FIXED IN THE ANNEX TO REGULATION NO 315/68 OF THE COUNCIL CANNOT BE EXPORTED .
25 THE ANSWER MUST THEREFORE BE THAT THE LOWEST MINIMUM EXPORT PRICE FIXED FOR THE PRODUCT IN QUESTION BY REGULATION NO 369/75 IS APPLICABLE TO PRODUCTS WHICH ARE LARGER THAN THE MINIMUM SIZE BUT SMALLER THAN THE SIZES EXPRESSLY LISTED IN THE ANNEX TO THE SAID REGULATION .
26 AS REGARDS THE FIXING BY THE NATIONAL AUTHORITY OF MINIMUM PRICES FOR EXPORTS TO THIRD COUNTRIES OF PRODUCTS COVERED BY THE COMMON ORGANIZATION OF THE MARKET BUT OF A GENUS , SPECIES OR VARIETY OTHER THAN THOSE FOR WHICH THE COMMISSION HAS SO FAR FIXED MINIMUM PRICES , IT MUST BE STATED THAT NO PROVISION OF THE COMMUNITY RULES EXPRESSLY PROHIBITS THE FIXING OF SUCH PRICES .
27 IT IS NOT CLEAR FROM THE REGULATIONS ADOPTED FROM TIME
