COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2571/97
of 15 December 1997
on the sale of butter at reduced prices and the granting of aid for cream,
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 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 (EC) No 1587/96 (2), and in particular Articles 6 (6),
12 (3) and 28 thereof,
Whereas the butter market in the Community is encumbered by heavy
surpluses; whereas Article 6 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 provides fordisposal of the butter bought in by the intervention agency; whereas CouncilRegulation (EEC) No 1723/81 (
3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No
863/84 (4), lays down general rules on measures intended to maintain the level
of use of market butter by certain classes of consumer and undertakings;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 (5), as last amended by
Regulation (EC) No 531/96 (6), provides for the sale of butter from
intervention stocks at reduced prices and the granting of aid for cream,
butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products,
ice-cream and other foodstuffs; whereas experience has shown that thearrangements need to be adjusted and simplified in order to improve theoperation of the scheme;
Whereas, in order to ensure consistency with the definition of butter eligible
for aid, it should be specified that cream must meet the conditions laid down
in Article 6 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 in order to qualify for aid;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 provides that market butter must be
packaged even if, after manufacture, it is intended for incorporation inproducts other than final products in the same establishment; whereas thisrequirement is not necessary for control purposes and may be abolished in
such cases; whereas the requirement concerning the packaging of certain final
products in the form of uncooked dough or powder preparations may also beabolished where the products are transported direct to retailers for subsequentprocessing;
Whereas, in order to facilitate verification of compliance with the six-month
time limit for incorporation of products under this scheme into final products,
the number of the tendering procedure should be indicated on the packaging;
Whereas past experience with cream to which tracers have been added as a
product eligible for aid shows that cream to which no tracers have been addedcan also be accepted as eligible if it is incorporated directly and exclusively
into the final products covered by formula B; whereas the limit on the
maximum fat content of cream may be abolished; whereas, in order to ensurethat all operators are treated equally, the conditions regarding the perceptionof organoleptic tracers in cream should also apply to butter and concentrated
butter, and the minimum dosage of such tracers in cream should be specified;
Whereas changes to the combined nomenclature and to the composition and
nature of certain final products require adjustments to the descriptions of such
products and the conditions to which they are subject;
Whereas the establishments at which the different manufacturing, processing
and incorporation operations covered by this scheme are carried out must beapproved; whereas, in order to obtain approval, establishments must meet a
number of conditions and give various undertakings; whereas establishments
which no longer meet the conditions should lose their approval; whereas, if anestablishment fails to comply with its undertakings, its approval should be
withdrawn for a period which reflects the seriousness of the irregularity;!B

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 provides that products falling within
CN codes 0401 to 0406 may not, except for a few products specificallyindicated, be treated as intermediate products within the meaning of thatRegulation; whereas experience has shown that there is no need to maintain
these exceptions, except for recombined butter; whereas the definition of
‘recombined butter’ should take account of the different processes by whichthis product is manufactured, particularly to allow for the addition of cream toconcentrated butter;
Whereas the addition of tracers to butter or cream, or incorporation of butter
or cream into final products or intermediate products may take place in aMember State other than that of manufacture; whereas, in such cases, the
Member State of destination must be able to ensure that the quality criteria
have been complied with;
Whereas it seems appropriate to give operators the option, in the case of
products to which tracers have been added, not to lodge a processing security
if the aid is requested only after incorporation in final products and after
checks have been carried out;
Whereas, in view of the lower level of aid henceforth applicable, the amount
of the penalty to be imposed if the deadline for incorporation in final products
is exceeded should be reduced;
Whereas the option provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 to fix a
minimum basic selling price and/or maximum basic aid has not been taken up
since it was introduced; whereas this option, together with Annex VII to that
Regulation may be abolished;
Whereas reliable and regular data on the utilization of butter, cream and
concentrated butter in intermediate and final products and on users and trade
flows are essential for the proper management of the aid scheme; whereas the
obligation to supply information laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 islimited and should therefore be widened;
Wheres, in order to enable the national authorities to fulfil their obligations to
communicate information, approval of establishments should be made subject
to the further condition that they undertake to supply the data required by thecompetent body;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 has been repeatedly and substantially
amended; whereas, on the occasion of fresh amendments, it should be recastfor the sake of clarity;

are laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1756/93 (

Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not
delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
