(SIC! OJ No L 282, 1. 11. 1975, p. 49.) of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in eggs, a single market system for eggs has been introduced in the Community comprising, in particular, single levies and single refunds in respect of third countries on eggs and egg yolk in the unaltered state or in the form of certain processed goods containing egg white;Whereas the system of trade applicable to albumins should follow the system on force for eggs in view of the dependence of the former products on the latter;Whereas ovalbumin prices normally follow egg prices, which are different in the Community and on the world market; whereas in order to prevent distortions of competition resulting from this difference it is necessary to levy an import duty sufficient to offset this difference; whereas it seems that the most appropriate method for determining the amount of this duty would be to derive it from the levy on eggs in shell;Whereas it is necessary to provide for different coefficients to take account of the presentation of the processed product;Whereas the price of eggs is not the only factor other than processing costs affecting the price of albumin on the world market; whereas in order to ensure the effectiveness of the system of import duties it is necessary to provide for an additional amount, to be added to the duty when offers on the world market are made at abnormally low prices;Whereas, by reason of the close economic relationship existing between the various egg products, it is necessary to provide for the possible adoption, for ovalbumin and lactalbumin, of marketing standards which correspond as far as possible with the marketing standards laid down for the products referred to in Article 1 (1) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75;Whereas to the extent necessary for the proper working of the mechanism of export refunds for eggs provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75, and of the system laid down in this Regulation, provision should be made for regulation or, when the situation on the market so requires, prohibiting, the use of "inward processing arrangements";Whereas the system of import duties makes it possible to dispense with all other protective measures at the external frontiers of the Community; whereas the establishment of a single market involves the removal at the internal frontiers of the Community of all obstacles to the free movement of the goods in question,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
