determining the percentage of quantities covered by applications for export licences for eggs which may be accepted

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1371/95 of 16 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for implementing the system of export licences in the egg sector(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2336/1999(2), and in particular Article 3(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1371/95 provides for specific measures where applications for export licences concern quantities and/or expenditure which exceed the normal trade patterns or where there is a risk that they will be exceeded, taking account of the limit referred to in Article 8(12) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75(3), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1516/96(4), and/or the corresponding expenditure during the period in question.
(2) Uncertainty is a feature of the market in certain egg products. The impending adjustment of the refunds applicable to those products has led to the submission of applications for export licences for speculative ends. There is a risk that the issue of licences for the quantities applied for on 23 to 27 and 30 to 31 July 2001 may lead to an overrun in the quantities of the products concerned normally disposed of by way of trade. Applications covering the products concerned in respect of which export licences have not yet been granted should be rejected,
No further action shall be taken in respect of applications submitted for export licences for eggs of 23 to 27 and 30 to 31 July 2001 pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1371/95 in respect of category three of Annex I to that Regulation which should have been issued from 1 August and from 8 August 2001 respectively.

3. When the average imports as referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2125/95 are established for 1999, the quantities covered by unused licences shall be added to the quantities actually imported.

(2) Surplus of fruit and vegetables on the market may occur and can significantly disturb the market.

(3) In accordance with Article 79(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, Annex XI to that Regulation sets out the maximum amounts of support for market withdrawals for the products referred thereto. Those amounts have to be fixed so as to avoid that withdrawals become a permanent alternative outlet for products compared to placing them on the market and to ensure at the same time that withdrawals remain an effective instrument for crisis prevention and management.
(4) In the light of the prevailing market situation for peaches and nectarines and in order to mitigate the impact of a sudden drop in prices this summer, the maximum amounts of support for market withdrawals for peaches and nectarines should be adjusted.
(5) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) It is appropriate to apply the new amounts of support as from 19 July 2011 onwards, the date around which the significance of the drop in prices for peaches and nectarines became apparent. This Regulation should therefore enter into force on the day of its publication.
(7) The Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its Chairman,
Annex XI to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
