                            Explanatory Memorandum
       Draft Council Regulation amending Regulation ( EECX No . 2967/ 76
       laying down common standards for the water content of frozen and
       deep-frozen chickens , hens and cocks .
The proposed amendments concern three points s
Article 1 ..  In the course of the preparatory work on Regulation ( EEC )
No . 2967/ 76 it was always assumed that this regulation applied also to
products exported towards third countries - The text as it now stands does
not give sufficient clarity on this point . It is therefore proposed to
insert into the definition of "Marketing " in Article 1 ( 3 ), the word
" export ".
Article 2 .   It is not excluded that certain importing third countries
requ.ire markings on the packaging , in accordance with regulations in force
in those countries .
These markings may be carried, on condition that there is no risk that they
are confused with the markings required by this regulation .
                         -      ......     -
Article 5 .   Several Member States are not in a position to implement
the control measures before the dates fixed in the regulation . In particular
in the Federal Republic of Germany, the LSnder are not in a position to
respect the dates .
Other Member States hesitate to apply the regulation strictly as long as
these former are unable to do so .
   i
To avoid a situation where the diverse application of the Regulation leads
to discrimination among Member States , it is proposed to delay the bringing
into force of the Council Regulation by three months .

  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
 Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC ) No 2777/75 of 29 October 1975

 Regulation (EEC ) No . . 369/76 1 and in particular Article 2(2 ) thereof,
 Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
            1
 whereas it is not sufficiently clear from the text      of Council Regulation
  (EEC ) No 2967/76 of 23 November 1976 laying down common standards for the
 water content of frozen and deep-frozen chickens, hens and cocks ^ that is
 to products exported from the ^Community ; whereas if should accordingly be
 amended , in particular to provide for a derogation in respect of products
 exported to non-member countries whose rules on the subject
 from those laid down in Regulation (EEC ) No 2967/76 ;
Whereas the implementation of the control measures provided for in Regulation
 (EEC ) No 2967/76 is causing administrative difficulties in certain Keraber St^t
whereas the dates from which the provisions of Regulation (EEC ) No 2967/76
are to apply should therefore be postponed ,
