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 productsOJ L 212, 22.7.1989, p. 87. Directive as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 806/2003..(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 measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
