 Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3378/91 (3) provides for quantities of butter in public storage to be made available to operators and invitations to tender to be organized in order, inter alia, to determine the minimum selling prices for butter  intended for export either in the unaltered state or after processing; whereas the tenders referred to in Article 5 of that Regulation shall cover a minimum of 500 tonnes in total, originating in one or more Member States; whereas, accordingly, the  quantity accepted may not necessarily correspond to the said minimum requirement; whereas tenders accepted should therefore be limited to products coming from a single Member State; 

 Whereas the security referred to in Article 7 (2) must be lodged in the Member State in which the concentrated butter is manufactured; 

 Whereas Article 10 (4) specifies the minimum milk fat content by weight of 100 kilograms of concentrated butter and the quantity of butter to be used; whereas the quantity of butter to be used should be adjusted if the milk fat content by weight of 100  kilograms of concentrated butter exceeds 99,8 %; 

 Whereas the competent authorities must be designated with a view to supervising the repackaging referred to in Article 9; 

 Whereas the sections to be completed in the documents referred to in Part II of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 569/88 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 44/92 (5), need to be amended; 

 Whereas the Management Committee for milk and milk products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
