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 for disposal of the butter bought in by the intervention agency;
whereas Council Regulation (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 the arrangements need to be adjusted and simplified in order to
improve the operation 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 in
products other than final products in the same establishment; whereas
this requirement 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 be abolished where the products are
transported direct to retailers for subsequent processing;
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
added can 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 ensure that all operators are treated equally, the conditions
regarding the perception of organoleptic tracers in cream should also
apply to butter and concentrated butter, and the minimum dosage of such
tracers in cream should be specified;!B

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 be approved; 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 an establishment fails
to comply with its undertakings, its approval should be withdrawn for a
period which reflects the seriousness of the irregularity;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 provides that products falling
within CN codes 0401 to 0406 may not, except for a few products
specifically indicated, be treated as intermediate products within the
meaning of that Regulation; 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 which this product is manufactured, particularly to
allow for the addition of cream to concentrated 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 a Member 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 is limited 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 the competent body;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 has been repeatedly and
substantially amended; whereas, on the occasion of fresh amendments,
it should be recast for the sake of clarity;
Whereas the operative events for the applicable agricultural conversion
rate are laid down in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1756/93 (1), as
last amended by Regulation (EC) No 569/96 (2);
Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has
not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,!B

tracers, is incorporated at an intermediate stage into products other than
final products and in an establishment other than that of final processing,
the conditions laid down in paragraphs 2 to 5 shall apply.
2. In accordance with Article 10, approval of the processing establish-
ment and of the intermediate products shall be given, or refused, on the
basis of an application specifying in particular the composition and
butterfat content of the products manufactured and showing that
incorporation into such intermediate products is justified for the
manufacture of one of the final products.
The list of establishments of final processing or, failing this, the list of
first consignees in the Member State and, where applicable, the list of
first consignees in other Member States, shall be forwarded to the
competent authority together with the application for approval.
The latter list shall be forwarded by the competent authority of each
Member State to the other Member States concerned. These lists shall be
updated in accordance with provisions laid down by the Member State
which grants the approval.
3. Where the holder as referred to in Article 10 (2) (c) is a resale
establishment, the latter shall undertake under the terms of the contract
of sale:
(a) to keep accounts showing, for each delivery, the name(s) and
address(es) of the establishment(s) of final processing or, failing this,
the first consignees in the Member State and, where applicable, the
first consignees in other Member States, together with the
corresponding quantities sold;
(b) to ensure that Articles 11 and 23 (4) are complied with.
4. The competent authority shall subject intermediate processing
establishments as referred to in paragraph 2 to the control measures
provided for in Article 23 (3).

weighing not less than five kilograms net without prejudice to any
subpackaging.
Packages shall bear, in addition to the intended use (formula A or
formula B) and, where applicable, the words ‘to which tracers have been
added’, one or more of the markings referred to in Annex V (2) and, in
the case of the products referred to in Article 9 (a), reference to the
number of the tendering procedure (a code may be used) so that the
competent body can verify compliance with the deadline for incor-
poration.
Article 9
The intermediate products referred to in Article 8 shall, without
prejudice to Article 4, be products other than those falling within CN
codes 0401 to 0406.
However,
(a) products falling within subheading 0405 10 30 with a butterfat
content of not less than 82 % manufactured exclusively from
concentrated butter as referred to in Article 1 (2) (b), without
prejudice to the addition of cream, at an establishment approved to!B1997R2571 — EN — 06.03.1999 — 005.001 — 8
that effect in accordance with Article 10, shall be considered as
intermediate products on condition that tracers as referred to in
Article 6 (1) have been added to them. In this case, the minimum

establishments marketing final products at the retail stage, the date
on which the products leave the establishment and the names and
addresses of their holders, supported by references to the delivery
orders and invoices;
(d) they undertake to forward the manufacturing programme for each
tender offer as defined in Article 16 to the agency responsible for
inspection as referred to in Article 23, in accordance with the
detailed rules laid down by the Member State concerned. However,
where the competent agency decides, as a result of the inspections
referred to in Article 23, to carry out intensive checks at least once a
month, Member States may accept manufacturing programmes
which do not bear a reference to the tender;
(e) they undertake to forward to the competent body the data concerning
them as referred to in Annexes IX to XIII, in accordance with
detailed rules to be laid down by each Member State.
3. Establishments which process different products attracting aid or
price reductions under different Community schemes must also under-
take:
(a) to keep separately the records referred to in paragraph 2 (c),
(b) to process the said products successively. However, at the request of
the party concened, Member States may waive this obligation if any
establishment possesses premises ensuring proper separation and

5. An approval shall be withdrawn whenever the pre-conditions set out
in paragraph 2 (a) and (b) are no longer met. At the request of the
establishment concerned, approval may be restored after a minimum
period of six months, following a detailed inspection.
If an establishment is found not to have complied with one of its
undertakings as referred to in paragraph 2 (c) and (d) or any other
obligation arising from this Regulation, then, except in cases of force
majeure , approval shall be suspended for a period of one to twelve
months, depending on the seriousness of the irregularity. Member States
may decide not to impose such a suspension if it is established that the
irregularity was not committed deliberately or through serious negli-
gence and that its consequences are marginal.
Article 11
The products referred to in Article 1 shall be processed and incorporated
into final products in the Community within a period of "M5four
months 3following the month of the closing date for the submission of

processes different products attracting aid or price reductions under
different Community schemes, separate accounts must be kept for
each scheme;
(c) include in each sales contract:
(i) in the case of manufacture of intermediate products, an
obligation to comply with Articles 8 and 9;
(ii) an obligation to comply, where appropriate, with the undertaking
referred to in Article 3 (b);
(iii) an obligation of incorporation into final products, specifying the
intended use (formula A or formula B), within the period
referred to in Article 11;
(iv) where applicable, an obligation to keep accounts as referred to in

according to:
(a) the intended use (formula A or formula B),
(b) the fat content of the butter,(c) the incorporation procedure to be followed in accordance with
Article 3.
In accordance with the procedure defined in Article 30 of Regulation
(EEC) No 804/68, a decision may be taken to make no award in respect
of an invitation to tender.
2. At the same time as the minimum selling price(s) or maximum
amount(s) of aid is/are fixed and under the procedure defined in Article
30 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68, the amount(s) of the processing
security shall be fixed per 100 kilograms by reference either to the

The purpose of the processing security shall be to ensure performance of
the primary requirements concerning either:
(a) for intervention butter:
(i) the processing of the butter into concentrated butter in accord-
ance with Article 5 and the addition of tracers, where
appropriate, or the addition of tracers to the butter,
and

processing securities shall nevertheless be released, with the agreement
of the Commission, once appropriate action has been taken under the
supervision of the authorities of the Member State concerned.
Article 19
1. Tenders shall be rejected if the price offered is lower than the
minimum price or if the amount of aid proposed exceeds the maximum
amount of aid fixed, due regard being had to the intended use, the fat
content of the butter in question and the incorporation procedure.
2. Without prejudice to paragraph 1, successful tenderers shall be those
offering the highest price.
The competent intervention agency shall sell intervention butter on the
basis of the date on which it entered storage, starting with the oldest
butter among the total available quantity or, where applicable, the
available quantity in the cold store(s) named by the operator.
3. Under the sale procedure, if the quantity available in the store in
question is not exhausted, contracts for the remaining quantity shall be
awarded to the other tenderers according to the prices offered, starting
with the highest price. Where the remaining quantity is one tonne or less,
that quantity shall be offered to the successful tenderers on the same
terms as quantities already awarded to them.
Where acceptance of a tender would lead to a contract being awarded for
more butter than is available at the cold store in question, a contract shall
be awarded to the tenderer concerned only for the quantity available.
However, notwithstanding Article 16 (2) (f), the intervention agency
shall designate other stores from which the quantity specified in the
tender is to be made up.
Where, in respect of a single cold store, acceptance of two or more
tenders offering the same prices with the same intended uses for the
butter, the same fat content and the same method of incorporation would
lead to contracts being awarded in excess of the quantity available,
awards shall be made by dividing the quantity available in proportion to
the quantities tendered for. However, should such a division lead to the
award of quantities of less than five tonnes, awards shall be made by
drawing lots.
4. Rights and obligations arising in connection with the invitation to
tender shall not be transferable.!B

16, is checked at least once. However, for quality control purposes,
Member States may, after obtaining the Commission’ s consent, establish
under their supervision a system of self-checking for certain approved
establishments.
Such checks shall entail physical sampling and shall relate in particular
to the conditions of manufacture and the quantity and composition of the
product obtained depending on the butter or cream used.
The above checks shall be supplemented from time to time, on the basis
of quantities processed, by detailed scrutiny, by sampling of records as

ascertain whether the conditions for the approval of the undertaking
have been complied with and, where applicable, checks on the
accounts referred to in Article 12 (1), and by detailed inspection of
the said records carried out:
— by sampling, where Article 3 (a) applies,!B1997R2571 — EN — 06.03.1999 — 005.001 — 17
— for each batch of intermediate products manufactured, where
Article 3 (b) applies.
4. The arrangements to check the use of butter or concentrated butter or
cream or of intermediate products in final products must include at least
the following provisions:
(a) on-the-spot inspections of the establishments concerned shall be

appropriate,
(ii) the conditions for the approval of the establishment,(iii) the undertaking given under Article 3 (b). Application of this
provision may be suspended where an establishment has not
respected its undertaking.
5. Where Article 3 (b) applies, ‘manufacturing batch’ shall mean a
quantity of products manufactured from butter or concentrated butter or
cream to which no tracers have been added, identified in relation to all or
part of a tender as referred to in Article 16.
Where Article 3 (a) applies, the checks referred to in paragraph 3 (a) and
in subpoint (i) of paragraph 4 (a) shall be carried out by identifying the
quantities used in relation to tenders as referred to in Article 16.
6. Where Article 3 (a) applies, the checks referred to in paragraph 4
shall be deemed to have been carried out if the successful tenderers or,
where applicable, the vendors submit a declaration by the final users or,
where applicable, the final retailers, applicable to all sales, in which the
latter:
(a) confirm their undertaking of incorporation into final products, as
referred to in subpoint (iii) of Article 12 (1) (c) and set out in the

where relevant, not more than 14 tonnes of cream or the same quantity of
butter or concentrated butter in intermediate products. That subparagraph
shall no longer apply to final users or final retailers who have not
complied with this undertaking. However, if the competent authority!B1997R2571 — EN — 06.03.1999 — 005.001 — 18
deems it justified, it may approve a further undertaking by a final user or
retailer who has so requested in writing, setting out the reasons for their
non-compliance with the previous undertaking. Such approval may take
effect only after a period of 12 months following the request. In the
meantime, the checks referred to in paragraph 4 shall apply.
7. In addition to the checks referred to in paragraphs 2 to 6, the data
forwarded to the competent authority under Article 10 (2) (e) and
