Whereas the situation on the butter market in the Community is
characterized by the existence of large stocks formed as a result ofintervention on the butter market under Article 6 (1) and (2) of
Regulation (EEC) No 804/68;
Whereas the entire quantity of the butter constituting these stocks cannot
be disposed of in normal conditions during the milk marketing year;whereas, in view of the attendant high costs, a prolongation of storage
should be avoided; whereas measures should therefore be taken to
encourage the disposal of the butter;
Whereas consumption of this product can be increased by means of sales
at reduced prices in the form of concentrated butter; whereas various
Community measures containing provisions to this effect have been
adopted since 1972;
Whereas the situation on the butter market warrants the continuation and
amplification of such measures; whereas, in the view of the size of
public stocks, priority should be given to the disposal of the latter;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 649/78(
9), as last amended
by Regulation (EEC) No 1741/84(10), introduced a system of sales at
reduced prices for intervention butter intended for direct consumption inthe form of concentrated butter; whereas, in the light of experience
gained in the application of the said Regulation, numerous amendments
should be made to the latter; whereas, for the sale of clarity, the saidRegulation should be repealed and replaced by a new text;1985R3143 — EN — 19.01.1999 — 002.001 — 3

Whereas the reduction in the price of butter should be such as to result in
an increase in its consumption in the form of concentrated butter andwhereas, for this reason, the effect of the reduction should be felt fully at
the level of direct consumption;
Whereas measures should be taken to ensure differentiation at all stages
of marketing between butter disposed of under the terms of this
Regulation and other butters; whereas, to this effect, provisions should
be adopted concerning the composition and description of concentratedbutter; whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the aims of thisRegulation, a time limit for the processing of this butter intoconcentrated butter and for its packaging should be fixed;
Whereas, moreover, a sufficiently high rate for the butterfat content
should be laid down;
Whereas a supervisory system should be applied to ensure that the butter
is not used for purposes other than those stipulated; whereas this
Regulation should be included in the Annex to Commission Regulation(EEC) No 1687/76 of 30 June 1976 laying down common detailed rulesfor verifying the use and/or destination of products from intervention(
1),
as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 26O2/85(2); whereas
additional supervisory conditions should also be laid down in view of
the specific character of the operation, particularly in connection withthe processing of the butter and as regards the keeping of stock recordsby the parties concerned; whereas, however, these supervisory measuresshould take place at the stage immediately preceding the taking over bythe retail sector;
Whereas, in particular, butter purchased under this Regulation should
not be diverted to the uses provided for by Commission Regulation(EEC) No 262/79 of 12 February 1979 on the sale of butter at reducedprices for processing into pastry products, ice cream and other
foodstuffs(

data relating to the disposal of butter under this Regulation;
Whereas account should be taken of the value of the butter or
