THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1557/84 (2), and in particular Article 12 (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the situation on the Community butter market is characterized by large stocks and it is therefore advisable to increase the consumption of butter by all appropriate means;
Whereas the reduction of final consumer prices is an efficient means of attaining this objective; whereas, to this end, the Commission envisages the adoption of an ad hoc measure based on Article 6 (7) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 involving an additional reduction in the price of butter bought for direct consumption in view of the Christmas and New Year holidays;
Whereas the implementation of the abovementioned measure presents particular problems in Greece and Italy; whereas, in fact, the butter markets in these Member States are characterized by very low or non-existent public stocks and by very small quantities under private storage contracts; whereas, in order to avoid placing consumers in these Member States at a disadvantage, as compared with consumers in the other Member States, provision should be made for subsidizing butter in Greece and Italy on the same conditions as the butter sold in the other Member States in the framework of the said measure,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. Aid shall be granted in Greece and Italy for the direct consumption of butter.
2. The aid is hereby fixed at 160 ECU per 100 kilograms.
Article 2
The detailed rules for the application of this Regulation shall lay down, in particular, a time limit for the packaging of the butter in small packets, the maximum amount of butter which may be eligible for the aid referred to in Article 1, and provisions guaranteeing that the butter will be consumed in the Member State for which it is intended.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION DECISION

on the procedure for attesting the conformity of construction products pursuant to Article 20 (2) of Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards waste water engineering products
(Text with EEA relevance)
(97/464/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/106/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to construction products (1), as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC (2), and in particular Article 13 (4) thereof,
Whereas the Commission is required to select, as between the two procedures in accordance with Article 13 (3) of Directive 89/106/EEC for attesting the conformity of a product, the ‘least onerous possible procedure consistent with safety’; whereas this means that it is necessary to decide whether, for a given product or family of products, the existence of a factory production control system under the responsibility of the manufacturer is a necessary and sufficient condition for an attestation of conformity, or whether, for reasons related to compliance with the criteria mentioned in Article 13 (4), the intervention of an approved certification body is required for that purpose;
Whereas Article 13 (4) requires that the procedure thus determined must be indicated in the mandates and in the technical specifications; whereas, therefore, it is desirable to define the concept of products or family of products as used in the mandates and in the technical specifications;
Whereas the two procedures provided for in Article 13 (3) are described in detail in Annex III to Directive 89/106/EEC; whereas it is necessary therefore to specify clearly the methods by which the two procedures must be implemented, by reference to Annex III, for each product or family of products, since Annex III gives preference to certain systems;
Whereas the procedure referred to in point (a) of Article 13 (3) corresponds to the systems set out in the first possibility, without continuous surveillance, and the second and third possibilities of point (ii) of Section 2 of Annex III, and the procedure referred to in point (b) of Article 13 (3) corresponds to the systems set out in point (i) of Section 2 of Annex III, and in the first possibility, with continuous surveillance, of point (ii) of Section 2 of Annex III;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Construction,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The products set out in Annex I shall have their conformity attested by a procedure whereby, in addition to a factory production control system operated by the manufacturer, an approved certification body is involved in assessment and surveillance of the production control or of the product itself.
Article 2
The procedure for attesting conformity as set out in Annex II shall be indicated in mandates for harmonized standards.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2943/91 (6) provides for an emergency measure for the supply of bread-making common wheat to Albania;
Whereas, in order to avoid the risk of monetary distortion when converting into ECU the tenders awarded for supply costs, a rate corresponding more closely to actual economic circumstances than the agricultural conversion rate should be used, with due regard to the application of the correcting factor referred to in Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85; whereas Article 3a of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3152/85 of 11 November 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85 (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3237/90 (8) provides for the publication of such a rate;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 2943/91, the third sentence of the first subparagraph is replaced by the following:

(*) OJ No L 310, 21. 11. 1985, p. 1.'
