COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 818/96 of 29 April 1996 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1907/90 on certain marketing standards for eggs
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in eggs (1), and in particular Article 2 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1907/90 (2) lays down certain marketing standards for eggs;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1907/90 does not apply to direct sales from producers to retailers in certain regions of Finland in view of the specific conditions of egg marketing in those regions; whereas the list of these regions should now be amended taking account of improved marketing conditions due to an increase in the number of packing centres in the less remote areas of Finland; whereas, in order to facilitate future reductions of this list, they should be adopted in accordance with Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75,
