Commission Decision

of 15 June 1977

authorizing the Italian Republic not to apply the premium system for the non-marketing of milk and milk products and the conversion of dairy herds

(Only the Italian text is authentic)

(77/433/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1078/77 of 17 May 1977 introducing a system of premiums for the non-marketing of milk and milk products and the conversion of dairy herds [1], and in particular Article 7 (j) thereof,

Whereas the criteria for the non-application of the premium system, referred to in Article 1 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1078/77, are met in the Italian Republic, where the number of dairy cows was reduced by 21,6 % between 1 January 1969 and 31 December 1975; whereas that Member State should therefore be authorized not to apply Regulation (EEC) No 1078/77;

Whereas, moreover, this Decision does not release the Italian Republic from any obligations arising from the application of the premium system in other Member States;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Italian Republic is hereby authorized not to apply the system laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1078/77.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.
