of 20 February 1990
on the granting by invitation to tender of an aid for concentrated butter intended for direct
consumption in the Community
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMU-
NITIES,
Having regard to the T reaty establishing the European
Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of
27 June on the common organization of the market in
milk and milk products(1),a sl a s ta m e n d e db yR e g u l a t i o n
(EEC) No 3879/89(2), and in particular Article 7a (3)
thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85
of 11 June 1985 on monetary compensatory amounts in
agriculture(3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No
1889/87(4),
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3143/85(5),a s
last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2690/89(6),e s t a -
blishes a scheme for the sale at reduced prices of interven-
tion butter intended for direct consumption in the form of
concentrated butter; whereas that measure has helped to
increase the disposal of intervention butter and to boost
the consumption of concentrated butter;
Whereas having regard, on the one hand, to the promo-
tional and commercial action undertaken, which has en-
abled part of the market in oils and fats to be conquered
since the entry into force of the said Regulation and, on
the other hand, to the current situation on the market in
butter, the scheme provided for by Regulation (EEC) No
3143/85 should be continued and supplemented by provid-
ing for the possibility of granting aid for concentrated
butter obtained from butter or cream originating from the
market and intended for direct consumption in the Com-
munity;
Whereas, pursutant (SIC! pursuant) to Article 7a (2) (b)
of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68, special measures may be
taken with a view to increasing the possibility of disposing
of butter which has not been the subject of purchase by
intervention agencies nor of private storage aid and the
possibility of disposing of cream; whereas provisions should
therefore be laid down to ensure that the butter has not
been the subject of the measures provided for in Title II
of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68;
Whereas disposal measures may provide for the granting
of an aid ; whereas to ensure that such aid is established
at the level which is strictly necessary and to supervise ef-
fectively the quantities concerned, a standing invitation to
tender procedure should be used, which will also ensure
equal access for interested operators;
Whereas measures should be taken to ensure differenti-
ation at all stages of marketing between concentrated
butter disposed of under the terms of this Regulation and
other types of butter; whereas, to that end, provisions

IIshould be adopted concerning the composition and de-
scription of concentrated butter; whereas, in order to en-
sure compliance with the aims of this Regulation, a time
limit for the processing of the butter and the cream into
concentrated butter and for packing should be fixed;
Whereas a sufficiently high butterfat content should be laid
down;
Whereas a system of checks should be applied to ensure
that the concentrated butter is not used for purposes other
than those stipulated; whereas in view of the specific char-
acter of the operation, particularly in connection with the
manufacture of the concentrated butter, provision should
be made for the keeping of stock records by the parties
concerned; whereas, however, such checks should end at
the stage immediately preceding taking-over by the retail
sector;
Whereas, as regards the monetary compensatory amounts
fixed pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 1677/85, account
should be taken of the value of the butter or the concen-
trated butter; whereas, to that end, provision should be
made for the application of a coefficient to the monetary
compensatory amounts applicable to concentrated butter
pursuant to the Commission Regulation fixing the monet-
ary compensatory amounts;
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:

same time and in line with the aid per 100 kilograms.
Article 6
In the light of the tenders received in response to each
individual invitation to tender and in accordance with the
procedure laid down in Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No
804/68, a maximum amount of aid shall be fixed for the
concentrated butter with a minimum fat content of 96 %.
Under the above mentioned procedure a decision may be
taken to make no award in respect of an invitation to ten-
der.
Article 7
1. T enders shall be rejected if the aid proposed is more
than the maximum amount fixed for the individual invita-
tion to tender concerned.

beyond the control of the interested party, not been re-
turned to the customs office of departure or to the central
return office within 12 months of the deadline for the sub-
mission of tenders referred to in Article 3 (2), that party

tiated by reference to delivery notes and invoices; and
(d) undertakes to forward its manufacturing programme
for each consignment, in accordance with the arrange-
ments decided on by the Member State concerned, to
the body responsible for the checks referred to in Ar-
ticle 11.
3. If the establishment processes various products qual-
ifying for aid or a price reduction, it must also undertake:
— to keep the records referred to in paragraph 2 (c) as
a separate entity,

application by the party concerned, the Member
States may agree to waive this obligation if the estab-
lishment has premises ensuring that the stocks of the
products in question can be stored separately and
identified as such.
4. Approval shall be given with a serial number by the
Member State on whose territory the concentrated butter
is manufactured and packed.
5. Approval shall be withdrawn in the event of failure to
comply with the provisions of this Article; approval may
also be withdrawn where the undertaking concerned is
found not to have complied with any other obligation aris-
ing from this Regulation.
On application by the establishment concerned, approval
shall be reinstated after a minimum period of six months
and following a detailed inspection.
6. Paragraphs 2 and 5 notwithstanding, until 31 De-
cember 1990 Member States may treat as valid for the
purposes of this Regulation, but not where cream is con-
cerned, approvals previously given pursuant to Article 4 of
Regulation (EEC) No 3143/85.

the competent agency shall carry out on-the-spot checks on
the basis of the establishment’s manufacturing programme
as referred to in Article 9 (2) (d) in such a way that eachtender as described in Article 4 is checked at least once.
Such checks shall entail taking and analysing samples and
shall relate in particular to the conditions of manufacture,
to the quantity and composition of the product obtained
and to the packs. They shall entail taking samples of con-
centrated butter from each consignment identified by the
serial number of the tender.3337/94

purchases are made by the establishments referred to in
Article 1 (2), by distributing establishments to which access
is reserved to holders of a purchaser’s card (‘cash and
carry’) and by the purchasing departments of retail dis-
tribution undertakings.
2. Until such time as the concentrated butter is taken
over by the retail trade, any person holding concentrated
butter must keep stock records showing for each delivery
the names and addresses of the purchasers of the concen-
trated butter and the quantities purchased in each case.
Where the holder of concentrated butter under this Re-
gulation also holds concentrated butter subject to the
provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 570/88(7)
and/or Regulation (EEC) No 3143/85, separate stock re-cords shall be kept for the products held by virtue of each
of the said Regulations.
