THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;

Having regard to Council Regulation No 123/67/EEC (4) of 13 June 1967 on the common organization of the market in poultrymeat, as last amended by the Act, and in particular Article 9 (3) thereof;

Whereas, under Article 5 (3) of Council Regulation No 175/67/EEC (5) of 27 June 1967 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on eggs and criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2683/72 (6), and under Article 5 (3) of Council Regulation No 176/67/EEC (7) of 27 June 1967 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on poultrymeat and criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2689/72 (8), it may be decided that refunds for egg and poultrymeat products may, on application, be fixed in advance;
