The intervention agencies may also grant aid for the use of butter, concentrated butter and cream in pastry products, ice-creams and other foodstuffs, and for concentrated butter intended for direct consumption in the Community.
(2)

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the quantities of manioc which could be exported to the Community in respect of 1983 by third countries which are not members of GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) under a levy of 6 % ad valorem were fixed at 370 000 tonnes;

(3) The total allowable catch of capelin in Greenland waters for 2000 has been set within a trilateral agreement among Greenland, Iceland and Norway at 975000 tonnes of which the quota accruing to Greenland is to be 107500 tonnes and consequentially the quota accruing to the Community has to be adapted.
(4) The Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) at its last annual meeting held from 12 to 16 June 2000, adopted a catch limitation for yellowfin tuna in 2000 and modified the provisional catch limitation for bigeye tuna adopted in 1999. The Community, being in the process of accession to IATTC, should fully cooperate with this organisation in all matters of fisheries conservation by implementing these measures.
(5) Greater clarity is required regarding geographical areas in which herring may be caught in the North-East Atlantic.
