COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1264/83

of 20 May 1983

amending Regulation (EEC) No 1767/82 as regards the adjustment of the free-at-frontier values of certain cheeses for the 1983/84 milk year

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 14 (7) thereof,

Whereas Articles 7 (2) and 9 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2915/79 of 18 December 1979 determining the groups of products and the special provisions for calculating levies on milk and milk products and amending Regulation (EEC) No 950/68 on the Common Customs Tariff (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1206/83 (4), provide for the adjustment of the free-at-frontier values for certain cheeses for any variation in the target price for milk or the threshold price of Cheddar; whereas these values were laid down by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1767/82 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 86/83 (6);

Whereas as a result of the fixing of the target price and the threshold prices for the 1983/84 milk year, it is necessary to adjust the free-at-frontier values shown in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 1767/82;

Whereas the reference to processed cheeses in Annex III (D) to that Regulation should be extended to include the processed cheeses listed under (h) in Annex I to the same Regulation;

Whereas the Government of the People's Republic of Bulgaria has designated a different agency which is authorized to issue IMA 1 certificates; whereas it is necessary therefore to amend Annex IV in order to take account of that change,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
