3.The categories of products referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008, as well as the rate of the security for export licences are given in Annex I.

1.Applications for export licences may be lodged with the competent authorities from Monday to Friday of each week.
2.Applicants for export licences shall be natural or legal persons who, at the time applications are submitted, are able to prove to the satisfaction of the competent authorities in the Member States that they have been engaged in trade in the egg sector for at least 12 months. However, retail establishments or restaurants selling their products to end consumers may not lodge applications.
3.Export licences are issued on the Wednesday following the period referred to in paragraph 1, provided that none of the particular measures referred to in paragraph 4 have since been taken by the Commission.
4.Where the issue of export licences would or might result in the available budgetary amounts being exceeded or in the maximum quantities which may be exported with a refund being exhausted during the period concerned, in view of the limits referred to in Article 169 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, or where the issue of export licences would not allow exports to continue during the remainder of the period, the Commission may:
(a)set a single acceptance percentage for the quantities applied for;
(b)reject applications for which licences have not yet been granted;
(c)suspend the lodging of licence applications for a maximum period of five working days, extendable by the procedure referred to in Article 195(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

The measures provided for in the first subparagraph may be implemented or modulated by category of product and by destination.
5.The measures provided for in paragraph 4 may be adopted where export licence applications relate to quantities which exceed or might exceed the normal disposable quantities for one destination and issuing the licences requested would entail a risk of speculation, distortion of competition between operators, or disturbance of the trade concerned or the internal market.
6.Where quantities applied for are rejected or reduced, the security shall be released immediately for all quantities for which an application was not satisfied.
7.Notwithstanding paragraph 3, where a single percentage of acceptance less than 80 % is set, the licence shall be issued at the latest by the 11th working day following publication of that percentage in the Official Journal of the European Union. During the 10 working days following its publication, the operator may:
either withdraw his application, in which case the security is released immediately,
or request immediate issuing of the licence, in which case the competent authority shall issue it without delay but no sooner than the normal issue date for the relevant week.
8.By way of derogation from paragraph 3, the Commission can set a day other than Wednesday for the issuing of export licences when it is not possible to respect this day.
1.On application by the operator, licence applications for up to 25 tonnes of products shall not be subject to any special measures as referred to in Article 3(4) and the licences applied for shall be issued immediately.
In such cases, notwithstanding Article 2(1), the term of validity of the licences shall be limited to five working days from their actual day of issue within the meaning of Article 22(2) of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 and section 20 of licence applications and of licences shall show one of the entries listed in Annex III.

2.Not later than two working days after exporting, operators shall lodge with the competent authority the application for an ex post export licence for the eggs for hatching which have been exported. In section 20 of the licence application and of the licence, the term ex post shall be indicated together with the customs office where customs formalities have been fulfilled as well as the day of export within the meaning of Article 5(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 612/2009(1).
By way of derogation from Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 no security shall be required.
3.Member States shall notify the Commission, by Friday each week of the number of ex post export licences applied for, during the current week, including ‘nil’ notifications. The notifications shall specify, where applicable, the details referred to in Article 7(2).
4.Ex post export licences shall be issued each following Wednesday, provided that none of the particular measures referred to in Article 3(4) are taken by the Commission after the export concerned. Where such measures are taken they shall apply to the exports already carried out.
This licence accords entitlement to payment of the refund applicable on the day of export within the meaning of Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 612/2009.
5.Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 shall not apply to the ex post licences referred to in paragraphs 1 to 4 of this Article.
