COMMISSION  OF THE  EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES 
COM(83) 48 final 
Brussels,  3 February  1983 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL_REGULATION_(EEC) 
amending  Regulation  (EEC) No  2195/79  with regard  to reduced 
levies for certain cheeses 
(submitted  to the  Council by the  Commission) 
COM(83) 48 final 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 
ArticLe 11 (1)  of Regulation  (EEC) No  2915/79  provides 
that the Levies applying  to Tilsit and Kashkaval  cheese  and 
cheeses made of sheep and buffalo milk  are to be  equal to 
the difference  between  the threshold price  of the  pilot 
product in Group 11 and the  prices marked,  provided that 
prices on import are not  less than these  amounts. 
In order to take account  of the movement of  prices for 
these cheeses  in the  countries  of origin and of the  increases 
in threshold prices  for the  1983/84  milk year,  this proposal 
adjusts the prices set out in  Article 11 of the  Regulation. 
The financial  implications  of this proposal  have already 
been taken into account  in the  price proposals. 

Proposal 
COUNCIL REGULATION  (EEC) 
amending  Regulation (EEC) No  2195/79  with regard to  reduced  levies  for 
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 as last 
amended  by Regulation (EEC) No  1183/82 and in  particular  Article  14 (6) 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal  from the Commission, 
Whereas  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  3042/82 (4), 
fixes in Article  11 (1) the  amounts  to be deducted  from the threshold price 
in calculating  the levies  on imported  Tilsit  and Kashkaval  cheese  and cheeses 
made from sheep and buffalo milk, provided that  their prices on import are 
not less than the  said amounts; 
Whereas,  in order to take  account  of the pattern of trade with  third 
countries,  it is advisable to maintain the import  levies  on the  said cheeses 
at the present  level;  whereas  the amounts  referred to in  Article  11 (1) of 
Regulation (EEC) No  2915/79  should therefore be adjusted to take  account  of 
the threshold prices for the  1983/84  milk year,
