Those products should also comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs.\n(5)\nThe 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.\n(6)\nThe Management Committee for Poultrymeat and Eggs has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
