temporary withdrawal of a proportion of the reference 
quantities, for Italy to implement a programme for the 
voluntary discontinuation of milk production in order to 
attain the purpose for which the withdrawal was 
introduced;

(EEC) No 775/87 the Commission, on the basis of the 
results obtained by application of Article 3 thereof, deems 
it necessary that the provisions of that Regulation be 
amended so that Italy may attain the target of 5,5 % set in

Community financing, temporary suspension of its 
producers' reference quantities,
