THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Whereas the second paragraph of the said Article 8

sustained on their disposal, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
The second paragraph of Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) 
No 1883/78 is hereby replaced by the following: 
'If, for a given product, the estimated selling price for 
products in public intervention storage is lower than 
the book value they had on the first day of the 
financial year, a reduction in their value may be 
decided on in accordance with the procedure laid 
down in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70. 
The reduction in value shall not be more than the 
difference between the buying-in price and the price 
obtained on disposal of the products concerned. The 
amount of the reduction shall be fixed in ECU/ 
tonne'.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its 
publication in the Official Journal of the European

directly applicable in all Member States. 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par­
liament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee, Proposal for a Council Regulation amending Regulation (EEC) No 1900/85 introducing 
Community export and import declaration forms 
COM(85) 688 final 
(Submitted by the Commission to the Council on 19 December 1985) 
(85/C 348/18) 
No C 348/26 Official Journal of the European Communities 31.12. 85 
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1900/85 (') 
introduced Community export and import declaration 
forms; whereas those forms must correspond to the 
specimen single document form COM drawn up in 
accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 679/85 
of 18 February 1985 introducing a specimen declaration 
form to be used in trade in goods within the Community 
(2); 
Whereas the introduction of the single document 
requires the adoption of implementing provisions, parti­
cularly for the formulation of the codes to be used in 
trade between Member States; whereas Regulation 
(EEC) No 679/85 provided for that possibility; 
Whereas no such provision was made in Regulation 
(EEC) No 1900/85 as regards trade between the 
Community and third countries; whereas however it 
became apparent, when the implementing provisions 
concerning the single document were being drawn up, 
that it is impossible to establish Community codes for 
trade between Member States without taking account at 
the same time of requirements in respect of trade with 
third countries; whereas the need for provisions for 
applying Regulation (EEC) No 1900/85 may not be 
confined to the mere formulation of codes; 
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1900/85 should 
therefore be amended accordingly, 
(') OJNoL 179, 11.7. 1985, p. 4. 
O OJNoL79, 21.3. 1985, p. 7. HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

States in goods not complying with the conditions laid 
down in Article 9 (2) of the Treaty shall be adopted in
