COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1014/83

of 28 April 1983

amending Regulation (EEC) No 262/79 on the sale of butter at reduced prices for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs, and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 1468/79

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic 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 products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1183/82 (2), and in particular Article 6 (7) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 985/68 of 15 July 1968 laying down general rules for intervention on the market in butter and cream (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1272/79 (4), and in particular Article 7a thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 262/79 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2479/82 (6), and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1932/81 of 13 July 1981 on the granting of aid for butter and concentrated butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs (7), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 48/82 (8), apply simultaneously; whereas it is therefore appropriate, for control reasons, to require that the records in both cases be kept separate and that butter from public storage is not to be processed at the same time as butter from the market;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1468/79 (9), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1250/81 (10), provided for the granting of aid for butter from private storage during the period of application of Regulation (EEC) No 262/79 and in respect of the same uses as provided for in that Regulation;

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1932/81 adopted for the most part the system introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 1468/79; whereas it is therefore appropriate to repeal the latter Regulation;

Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
