THECOUNCIL OPTHEEUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard totheTreaty establishing theEuropean Economic Community ,

organization ofthemarket inmilk andmilk products (l),aslast amended by
Regulation (EEC)No1183/82(2),andinparticular Article 12(2)thereof ,
Having regard totheproposal from theCommission ,
Whereas thesituation onthebutter market ischaracterized bylarge quantities
available and itistherefore advisable toincrease theconsumption ofbutter by
all appropriate means ;
Whereas thereduction offinal consumer prices isanefficient means ofattaining
this objective }whereas tothis endthe Commission envisages theadoption ofan
adhovmeasure based inArticle 6(7)ofRegulation (EEC)No804/68involving an
additional reduction inthe price ofbutter bought fordirect consumption inview
oftheChristmas andNewYear holidays ;
Whereas the implementation ofthe abovement ioned measure presents particular problems
inDenmark ,Greece ,Italy andLuxemburg ;whereas ,infact ,their butter markets are
characterized bytheabsence ofpublic stocks andvery small quantities under private
storage contracts ;whereas inorder toavoid discrimination against consumers in
these Member States incomparieen Mith consumers intheother Member States ,provision
should bemade forsubsidizing butter inDenmark ,Greece ,Italy andLuxemburg onthe
same conditions asthe butter sold inthe other Member States inthe framework ofthe
said measure ;
