THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par­
liament, 
Whereas in the wake of the exceptionally cold winter of 
1986/87 the Community applied, during several months 
in 1987, measures involving the supply of various foods to charitable organizations for distribution to the most 
deprived persons in the Community; 
Whereas reports from the Member States and from 
various of the charitable organizations involved in the 
measures applied for several months in 1987 show that 
they were of considerable value to the beneficiaries; 
Whereas the Community has through its intervention 
stocks of various agricultural products the potential 
means to make a significant contribution towards the 
well-being of its most deprived persons; whereas it is in 
the Community interest and in line with the objectives of 
the common agricultural policy, to exploit this potential 
on a durable basis by introducing appropriate measures; 
whereas experience gained from the application of the 
measures applied for several months in 1987 should help 
No C 298/4 Official Journal of the European Communities 7.11.87 
shape any subsequent action of a similar nature; whereas 
it is appropriate to consolidate in one text the legal basis 
for the implementation of such measures, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
Provision shall be made for goods which are in 
intervention stocks to be made available to designated 
organizations for distribution to the most deprived 
persons in the Community. Such persons shall receive the 
food free of charge or at a price which in no case is 
greater than that justified by the costs incurred by the 
designated organizations in implementing the action. 
The distribution shall be made in accordance with an 
annual plan established by the Commission. 
Article 2 
The organizations referred to in Article 1 shall be 
designated by the Member State concerned or, if no such 
designation is made in that Member State, by the 
Commission. Article 3 
Goods subject to the provisions of Article 1 shall be 
released free of charge to the designated organizations. 
The accounting value of goods so released shall be the 
intervention price, adjusted by coefficients where 
necessary to take account of quality differences. 
Article 4 
The goods made available under the provisions of 
Article 1 shall be financed by appropriations in the 
relevant article within the EAGGF guarantee section of 
the budget of the European Communities. Provision may 
also be made for this finance to contribute towards costs 
of transport of produce from intervention centres. 
Article 5 
The Commission, in accordance with the procedure 
provided for in Article ... of Regulation (EEC) No 
, shall adopt the implementing rules for this Regu­
lation. 
Article 6 
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its 
publication in the Official Journal of the European 
Communities. 
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and 
directly applicable in all Member States.
