THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1079/77 of 17 May 1977 on a co-responsibility levy and on measures for expanding the markets for milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1209/83 (2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,

Whereas the general rate of the co-responsibility levy applicable during the 1983/84 milk year is 2 % of the target price for milk for that milk year and the reduced rate applicable to the first 60 000 kilograms per producer per year in less-favoured areas is therefore, pursuant to Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1079/77, 1,5 % of the target price;

Whereas it is consequently necessary to adjust the figures given in Articles 2 (1) and 5 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1822/77 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2480/82 (4);

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

1. Article 2 (1) is replaced by the following:

'1. During the 1983/84 milk year the amount of the levy per 100 kilograms of cow's milk shall be:

(a) as regards the general rate mentioned in Article 2 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1079/77, 0,5486 ECU;

(b) as regards the reduced rate under Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1079/77, 0,4115 ECU.'

2. The first subparagraph of Article 5 (2) is replaced by the following:

'2. During the 1983/84 milk year the amount of the levy per 100 kilograms of skimmed milk or buttermilk for which the aid mentioned in paragraph 1 is given shall be:

(a) as regards the general rate mentioned in Article 2 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1079/77, 0,6035 ECU;

(b) as regards the reduced rate under Article 1 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1079/77, 0,4526 ECU.'

Article 2
