amending Regulation (EC) No 214/2001 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards intervention on the market in skimmed milk powder

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 43(d), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

Whereas

(1) Article 10(1)(f) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides for public intervention of skimmed milk powder.

(2) Commission Regulation (EC) No 214/2001 (2) has laid down the detailed rules concerning the public intervention on the market in skimmed milk powder.

(3) In view of the current and foreseeable market situation characterised by low prices on dairy products and in particular skimmed milk powder, combined with difficulties to obtain commercial credits for normal dairy operations, it is appropriate to advance the payment for selling skimmed milk powder into intervention. The current payment period of 120–140 days should therefore be reduced to 45–65 days thereby providing a harmonisation of all payment periods for intervention products in the dairy sector.

(4) Regulation (EC) No 214/2001 should be amended accordingly.

(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

1. Article 8 is replaced by the following: ‘Article 8 The intervention agency shall pay for the skimmed milk powder taken over between the 45th and the 65th day following the date of taking-over, provided that it is found to comply with the requirements laid down in Article 2.’;

2. Article 20(1) is replaced by the following: ‘1. The intervention agency shall pay for the successful tenderer the price indicated in his tender as referred in Article 15(2)(c) between the 45th and the 65th day following the date on which the skimmed milk powder is taken over, provided that it is found to comply with Article 2(1), (2), (3), (5), (6) and (7) and Article 15(3)a).’.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

It shall apply to tenders where the time limit set in Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 214/2001 is after the date of entry in force of this Regulation.

The extent to which import licences may be issued should therefore be determined and the allocation coefficient laid down to be applied to the quantities applied for.

(4) Import licences should no longer be issued under Regulation (EC) No 969/2006 for the current quota period,
