(1) Article 6(4) of Council Regulation No 1907/90 of 26 June 1990 on certain marketing standards for eggs[2] lays down the criteria for the derogation enabling packing centres to continue to wash eggs until 31 December 2006.

(2) Such derogation has so far been granted to nine packing centres in Sweden and one in the Netherlands. Pending the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1028/2006 of 19 June 2006 on marketing standards for eggs[3] on 1 July 2007, the transitional period for egg washing should be extended until that date.

(3) Regulation (EEC) No 1907/90 should therefore be amended accordingly.
