on the sale of butter at reduced prices and the granting of aid for
cream, butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture
ofpastryproducts,ice-cream andotherfoodstuffs
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 milkproducts(
1), aslas t amended by Regulation (EC) No 1587/96(2), and
in particular Articles6 (6), 12 (3) and 28 thereof,
Whereasthe butter market in the Community isencumbered by heavy
surpluses; whereas Article 6 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68provides for disposal of the butter bought in by the intervention
agency; whereasCouncil Regulation (EEC) No 1723/81(
3), asamended
by Regulation (EEC) No 863/84(4), laysdown general ruleson
measures intended to maintain the level of use of market butter bycertain classes of consumer and undertakings;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 570/88(
5), aslas t amended
by Regulation (EC) No 531/96(6), providesfor the s ale 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 inorder 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 condi-tionslaid down in Article 6 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 inorder to qualify for aid;
WhereasRegulation (EEC) No 570/88 providesthat market butter mus t
be packaged even if, after manufacture, it isintended for incorporationin 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 concerningthe packaging of certain final productsin the form of uncooked doughor powder preparations may also be abolished where the products aretransported direct to retailers for subsequent processing;
Whereas, in order to facilitate verification of compliance with the six-
month time limit for incorporation of productsunder thiss cheme intofinal products, the number of the tendering procedure should be indi-
cated on the packaging;
Whereaspas t experience with cream to which tracershave been added
asa product eligible for aid s howsthat cream to which no tracershave
been added can also be accepted as eligible if it is incorporated directlyand exclusively into the final products covered by formula B; whereasthe limit on the maximum fat content of cream may be abolished;whereas, in order to ensure that all operators are treated equally, theconditionsregarding the perception of organoleptic tracersin cream
should also apply to butter and concentrated butter, and the minimum
dosage of such tracers in cream should be specified;
Whereaschangesto the combined nomenclature and to the compos ition
and nature of certain final products require adjustments to the descrip-tions of such products and the conditions to which they are subject;1997R2571 — EN — 24.09.2001 — 007.001 — 2

Whereas the establishments at which the different manufacturing,
processing and incorporation operations covered by this scheme arecarried 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 condi-tions should lose their approval; whereas, if an establishment fails tocomply with itsundertakings , itsapproval s hould be withdrawn for aperiod which reflects the seriousness of the irregularity;
WhereasRegulation (EEC) No 570/88 providesthat productsfalling
within CN codes0401 to 0406 may not, except for a few products
specifically indicated, be treated as intermediate products within the
meaning of that Regulation; whereasexperience hass hown that thereis no need to maintain these exceptions, except for recombined butter;whereasthe definition of ‘recombined butter’ s hould take account ofthe different processes by which this product is manufactured, particu-larly to allow for the addition of cream to concentrated butter;
Whereasthe addition of tracersto butter or cream, or incorporation of
butter or cream into final productsor intermediate productsmay take
place in a Member State other than that of manufacture; whereas, in
such cases, the Member State of destination must be able to ensurethat 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 processingsecurity if the aid is requested only after incorporation in final productsand after checkshave 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 incorporationin final productsisexceeded s hould be reduced;
Whereasthe 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;
Whereasreliable and regular data on the utilization of butter, cream
and concentrated butter in intermediate and final productsand on us ers
and trade flows are essential for the proper management of the aidscheme; whereas the obligation to supply information laid down inRegulation (EEC) No 570/88 islimited and s hould therefore bewidened;
Wheres, in order to enable the national authorities to fulfil their obliga-
tions 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;
WhereasRegulation (EEC) No 570/88 hasbeen repeatedly and
substantially amended; whereas, on the occasion of fresh amendments,
it should be recast for the sake of clarity;
