THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in poultrymeat (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2916/95 (2), and in particular Article 3 (2) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1372/95 (3) as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1158/96 (4), lays down detailed rules for implementing the system of export licenses in the poultrymeat sector;
