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 prod-ucts(
1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1587/96 (2), and in
particular Articles 6 (6), 12 (3) and 28thereof,
Whereas the butter market in the Community is encumbered by heavy
surpluses; whereas Article 6 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68provides 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 classesof 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 pastryproducts, ice-cream and other foodstuffs; whereas experience has shownthat the arrangements need to be adjusted and simplified in order toimprove 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-tions laid down in Article 6 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 in orderto qualify for aid;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 provides that market butter must
be packaged even if, after manufacture, it is intended for incorporationin products other than final products in the same establishment; whereasthis requirement is not necessary for control purposes and may beabolished in such cases; whereas the requirement concerning the pack-aging of certain final products in the form of uncooked dough orpowder 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 products under this schemeinto final products, the number of the tendering procedure should beindicated 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 havebeen 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, theconditions regarding the perception of organoleptic tracers in creamshould also apply to butter and concentrated butter, and the minimumdosage 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 descrip-tions 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 arecarried out must be approved; whereas, in order to obtain approval,establishments must meet a number of conditions and give variousundertakings; whereas establishments which no longer meet the condi-tions should lose their approval; whereas, if an establishment fails tocomply with its undertakings, its approval should be withdrawn for aperiod 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 productsspecifically indicated, be treated as intermediate products within themeaning of that Regulation; whereas experience has shown that there isno need to maintain these exceptions, except for recombined butter;whereas the definition of ‘recombined butter'should take account of thedifferent processes by which this product is manufactured, particularlyto 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 takeplace in a Member State other than that of manufacture; whereas, insuch cases, the Member State of destination must be able to ensure thatthe 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 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 infinal 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 beentaken up since it was introduced; whereas this option, together withAnnex 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 andtrade 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 obliga-
tions to communicate information, approval of establishments should bemade subject to the further condition that they undertake to supply thedata required by the competent body;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 has been repeatedly and substan-
tially amended; whereas, on the occasion of fresh amendments, itshould 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 (

In accordance with the procedure defined in Article 30 of Regulation

(i) the processing of the butter into concentrated butter in accord-
ance with Article 5 and the addition of tracers, where appro-priate, or the addition of tracers to the butter,

However, notwithstanding Article 16 (2) (f), the interventionagency shall designate other stores from which the quantity specified inthe 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 thebutter, the same fat content and the same method of incorporationwould lead to contracts being awarded in excess of the quantity avail-able, awards shall be made by dividing the quantity available in propor-tion to the quantities tendered for. However, should such a division leadto the award of quantities of less than five tonnes, awards shall be madeby drawing lots.
