COM(83) 780 final
Brussels, 5 January 1984
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
extending the period of validity of Regulation (EEC) No 2692/83 
derogating from the application of certain provisions relating 
to the adjustment of free-at-frontier values  of certain
cheeses
(submitted to the Council by the Commission)
COM(83) 780 final

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Article 9 and Annex II of Regulation (EEC) No 2915/79 laid down the 
free-at-frontier values for cheese applicable to imports into the 
Community.
Australia and New Zealand have had difficulty in exporting the quota 
amounts allocated to them because Community market prices are too low 
in comparison with the values that have to be respected for Australian 
and New Zealand Cheddar.
In view of this the Council on 26 September 1983 adopted Regulation 
(EEC) No 2692/83 derogating from this provision on respect of the 
free-at-frontier values.
As these values are still too high in comparison with Community market 
prices to allow Cheddar to be imported the derogation must be extended 
for a further three-month period.

Proposal for
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
extending the period of validity of Regulation (EEC) No 2692/83 
derogating from the application of certain provisions relating 
to the adjustment of free-at-frontier values of certain cheeses
THE COUNCIL 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 1600/83 (2), and in particular Article 14(6)
thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 9 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), lays down provisions governing the entry into the Community of 
cheeses as listed in Annex II (e) and (f) of that Regulation consigned from 
third countries;
Whereas the state of the Community market in Cheddar cheese which led to the 
adoption of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2692/83 of 26 September 1983 
derogating from the application of certain provisions relating to the 
adjustment of free-at-frontier values of certain cheeses (5) still does not 
allow importation into the Community at the free-at-frontier values laid
