COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1574/93 of 14 June 1993 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 on the common organization of the market in eggs, Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 on the common organization of the market in poultrymeat, Regulation (EEC) No 827/68 on the common organization of the market in certain products listed in Annex II to the EEC Treaty and Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and the Common Customs Tariff
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas it has recently been detected that classification of certain egg products falling within CN code 0408 in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (4) creates problems for the competent authorities; whereas to remedy that situation the structure of the subheadings falling within CN code 0408 should be improved;
Whereas Regulations (EEC) No 2771/75 (5), and (EEC) No 2777/75 (6), have not provided up to the present for a system of import licences; whereas in view of the increasing number of international agreements concerning inter alia trade in eggs and poultrymeat such a system involving the provision of security as a guarantee that importation will be effected should be introduced in these sectors too in order that a check may be kept on the volume of imports;
Whereas Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 provides for refunds on exports to third countries of eggs and egg products also in the form of further processed products listed in the Annex thereto; whereas in order to facilitate future amendments to this list, it should be adopted in accordance with Article 17 of the said Regulation;
Whereas prepared goose or duck livers falling within CN code 1602 20 10 are covered by Regulation (EEC) No 827/68 (7); whereas these preparations should be brought under Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 in order to be able to lay down common marketing standards for these products necessary for ensuring harmonized information of consumers and fair competition; whereas the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 827/68 should be adapted accordingly,
