given its flexibility, this arrangement should be retained, in 
view of certain situations, as long as the additional levy is 
chargeable; 
Whereas the first subparagraph of Article 5c(l) of 
Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 introduces the additional levy 
system for eight consecutive 12-month periods; whereas 
the amount of the guaranteed overall quantity of direct 
sales by Member States until 31 March 1992 should be 
established accordingly,

Article 1 
Regulation (EEC) No 857/84 is hereby amended as 
follows:

27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in 
milk and milk products (*), as last amended by Regulation 
(EEC) No .../88, and in particular Article 5c(6) thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 775/87 (2) pro­
vided for the temporary withdrawal of a proportion of the 
reference quantities referred to in Article 5c of Regulation 
(EEC) No 804/68 from the fourth period of application of 
the additional-levy arrangements onwards; whereas these 
arrangements were renewed for three 12-month periods by

periods' is replaced by 'For the eight additional-levy 
application periods'.

Whereas the third subparagraph of Article 2(1) of 
Regulation (EEC) No 775/87 states that the temporary 
withdrawal of quantities of a further 1,5 % during the fifth 
12-month period can be compensated by the payment of 
compensation or by an appropriate reduction in the co-
responsbility levy rate; whereas since this withdrawal of 
quantities can be compensated until the end of the eighth 
period of the additional-levy arrangements by the direct 
payment of compensation, the alternative provided for in 
the abovementioned provision is no longer needed; 
Whereas, in view of the changes in the additional-levy 
arrangements, certain provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 
775/87 should be adapted, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
