COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 223/2006
of 8 February 2006
fixing the export refunds on eggs applicable from 9 February 2006
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
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 organisation of the market in eggs (1), and in particular the third subparagraph of Article 8(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1) of that regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(2) It follows from applying these rules and criteria to the present situation on the market in eggs that the refund should be fixed at an amount which would permit Community participation in world trade and would also take account of the nature of these exports and their importance at the present time.
(3) The present market situation in certain third countries and that regarding competition makes it necessary to fix a refund differentiated by destination for certain products in the egg sector.
(4) Article 21 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 of 15 April 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of export refunds on agricultural products (2), stipulates that no refund is granted if the products are not of sound and fair marketable quality on the date on which the export declaration is accepted. In order to ensure uniform application of the rules in force, it should be stated that, in order to qualify for the refund, the egg products listed in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 must bear the health mark laid down in Council Directive 89/437/EEC of 20 June 1989 on hygiene and health problems affecting the production and the placing on the market of egg products (3).
(5) The negotiations within the framework of the Europe Agreements between the European Community and Romania and Bulgaria aim in particular to liberalise trade in products covered by the common organisation of the market concerned. For these two countries export refunds should therefore be abolished. That abolition should not, however, lead to a differentiated refund for exports to other countries.
(6) The Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The codes of products for which, when they are exported, the export refund referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 is granted and the amount of that refund shall be as shown in the Annex hereto.
However, in order to qualify for the refund, products falling within the scope of Chapter XI of the Annex to Directive 89/437/EEC must also satisfy the health marking conditions laid down in that Directive.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 9 February 2006.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas, under Article 68 of the Act of Accession, prices in Spain were set at levels differing from that of the common prices; whereas, pursuant to Article 70 (1) of that Act, the Spanish prices should be aligned on the common prices each year at the  beginning of the marketing year; whereas the rules
laid down for this alignment give the Spanish prices set out below,
For the 1989/90 marketing year, the minimum price for
soya beans referred to in Article 2 (6) of Regulation (EEC) No 1491/85 shall be:
(a)  ECU 39,08 per 100 kilograms for Spain;
(b)  ECU 48,94 per 100 kilograms for the other Member States.
The price referred to in Article 1 shall apply to beans which meet the criteria referred to in Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1232/89 of 3 May 1989 fixing the guide price for soya beans for the 1989/90 marketing year (4).
