Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ;
Whereas Regulation ( EEC ) No        /73 made provision for granting
refunds on exports to third countries of pure-bred breeding animals
of the bovine , horse , pig , goat and sheep species ;
Whereas the export refunds on the breeding animals in question must be
fixed in such manner that the animals can be exported at prices
resembling those ruling on the world market ; whereas , however , the
prices for animals for which market prices are not recorded depends
on special factors, such as origin , genealogy and milk and' meat
production potential ;
Whereas , in calculating the amount of the refund , transport costs from
the Community frontier to the country of destination may be taken into
consideration in addition to the economic aspects of the proposed
export transaction and the need to avoid disturbing the Community
market ; whereas it is also necessary to make provision for varying
the amount of the refunds in the light of special import terms applied
in certain countries of destination ;                                 ,
