(3) To prevent deflection of trade this restriction should be extended to all countries in the same destination zone. Action should also be taken to stop licences issued for other countries in that destination zone from being used for exportation to Croatia after 1 June 2003. This requires a derogation from Article 18(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999(5), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 444/2003(6).

(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
