Proposal for a Council Regulation amending Regulation (EEC) No 2915/79 with regard 
to reduced levies for certain cheeses 
(84/C 62/38) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the Euro­
pean Economic Community, Whereas, in order to take account of the pattern of 
trade with third countries, it is advisable to maintain 
at the present level, the import levies on the said 
cheeses; 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 1984/85 milk year, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 
804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organ­
ization of the market in milk and milk products ('), 
as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 
1600/83 (2), and in particular Article 14 (6) thereof, 
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2915/79 of 
18 December 1979 determining the groups of prod­
ucts and the special provisions for calculating levies 
on milk and milk products and amending Regula­
tion (EEC) No 950/68 on the Common Customs 
Tariff (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 
1206/83 (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, pro­
vided that their prices on import are not less than 
the said amounts;

Article 1 
Article 11 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2915/79 is 
hereby replaced by the following: 
' 1. Without prejudice to paragraphs 2, 3 and 4, 
the levy on 100 kilograms of the products 
belonging to Group 11 shall be equal to the 
threshold price, less: 
— 243,52 ECU per 100 kilograms in respect of 
the product described under (i) in Annex II, 
— 243,52 ECU per 100 kilograms plus a com-
1 ponent equal to 24,18 ECU in respect of the 
product described under (k) in Annex II, 
— 255,61 ECU per 100 kilograms in respect of 
the products described under (1) and (m) in 
Annex II, 
provided the import price is not less than the 
amount deducted from the threshold price. The 
No C 62/64 Official Journal of the European Communities 5. 3. 84 
import price for the product described under 
(m) in Annex II must not, however, be less than 
237,48 ECU per 100 kilograms. 
Moreover, it must be established that the prod­
ucts correspond to the description in Annex II. 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the Euro­
pean Economic Community, and in particular 
Article 43 thereof, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) 
No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organ­
ization of the market in milk and milk products ('), 
as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 
1600/83 (2), and in particular Article 12 (2) thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commis­
sion, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par­
liament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee, 
Whereas the system established by Council Regu­
lation (EEC) No 1269/79 of 25 June 1979 on the mar­
keting of reduced-price butter for direct consump­
tion (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) 
No 1208/83 (4), applies only until the end of the 
1983/84 milk year on the conditions laid down in 
the third subparagraph of Article 6 of the said Regu­
lation; 
(') OJ No L 148, 28.6. 1968, p. 13. 
(2) OJ No L 163, 22. 6. 1983, p. 56. 
(3) OJ No L 161,29. 6. 1979, p. 8. 
(4) OJ No L 132, 21. 5. 1983, p. 5. Article 2 
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 
day following its publication in the Official Journal 
of the European Communities. 
It shall apply with effect from the beginning of the 
1984/85 marketing year. 
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and 
directly applicable in all Member States. 
Whereas experience has shown that the additional 
quantities of butter consumed as a result of the sub­
sidy have been fairly small and that the cost of dis­
posal has therefore been very high; whereas it is 
expected that the intervention price for butter will 
fall (appreciably) as from the beginning of the 
1984/85 milk year, and that this will have an effect 
on the price to the consumer; whereas further imple­
mentation of the measure provided for in Regu­
lation (EEC) No 1269/79 therefore no longer 
appears to be justified (on economic grounds), 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
Regulation (EEC) No 1269/79 is hereby repealed. 
Article 2 
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 
day following its publication in the Official Journal 
of the European Communities.

milk year.
