ANNEX 
Objectives 
First paragraph 
The objective of developing energy technologies is directly linked to the Community's energy strategy, the 
aim of which is to increase security of supply in the long term and to reduce energy imports to a 
reasonable cost, bearing in mind the environment. As far as the technologies involved are concerned, this 
objective requires the contribution of solid fossil fuels and new and renewable sources of energy to be 
increased in the medium and long term and energy efficiency and the rational use of energy to be greatly 
improved. 
Third paragraph 
In addition, the development of advanced energy technologies should help to stimulate and improve 
industrial competitiveness, including that of small and medium-sized enterprises, in the Community as well 
as enhancing the economic and social cohesion of the Community.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European 
Parliament, 
Whereas Article 26 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 
804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of 
the market in milk and milk products ('), as last 
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1109/88 (2), auth­
orizes the supply at a reduced price of milk and certain 
milk products to pupils in educational establishments; 
whereas that provision was extended to cover the most 
deprived persons during the cold spell affecting Europe 
in winter 1987; whereas those arrangements should be 
made available to Portugal in accordance with the rules 
laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1842/83 (J), 
as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 222/88 (4), 
and in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2167/83 (5),

O OJ No L 28, 1. 2. 1988, p. 1. 
(») OJ No L 206, 30. 7. 1983, p. 75. Whereas the operations for supply to the most deprived 
persons in winter 1987 were to ease the serious diffi­
culties encountered by those persons, and in particular 
out of solidarity in Portugal; whereas the measures 
relating to school milk were introduced in particular to 
inculcate certain nutritional habits in pupils of educa­
tional establishments; whereas that possibility should be 
extended to Portugal from 1 January 1989, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: 
Article 1 
Portugal shall qualify for the aid system for supply of 
milk and milk products provided for in Article 26 of 
Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 from: 
1 January 1987 in respect of the most deprived 
persons, 
1 January 1989 in respect of pupils in educational
