COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 949/88 of 8 April 1988 amending Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 on the sale of butter at reduced prices and the granting of aid for butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs
THE COMMISSION 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 744/88 (2), and in particular Articles 6 (7), 12 (3) and 28 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 985/68 of 15 July 1968 laying down general rules for intervention on the market in butter and cream (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 842/88 (4), and in particular Article 7a thereof,
Whereas, as a result of a mistake, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 (5) does not correspond in all respects to the text submitted for a vote to the Management Committee on the one hand and on the other hand inaccuracies remain; whereas that Regulation should be corrected and amended accordingly;
Whereas Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 provides that it is to apply from 1 April 1988; whereas its belated publication does not enable the competent authorities to meet that date in view of the numerous changes in the system of controls; whereas the date of application must therefore be postponed; whereas, in view of those additional intervals, provision should be made for transitional measures enabling successful tenderers to take advantage beforehand of certain provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 which are in their favour;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
