1..Article 2(2)ofRegulation (3.3C)No .358/81oftheCouncil (lApril 1931 )
relating totheimportation ofITew Zealand butter into theUnited Kingdom
onspecial terms (l)specifies that :
"TheCouncil ,acting onaproposal from theCommission ,shall determine
before 1October 1932 thequantity which theUnited "ingdom will be
authorised toimport during thecalendar year 1933inview ,inparticular ,
ofthe development ofthe situation ontheCommunity butter market and
thedevelopment oftheworld butter market ".
Thedecision required for1983 isofaninterim nature ,relating tothe
third year ofanarrangement established bytheCouncil in19<3l foraperiod
ofthree years .
2.During 1931 production cfbutter intheCommunity fell by33,000 tonnes
(l.$?'"•)bycomparison with theprevious year but .fortheyear 1932 itis
expected that production will recover andincrease byabout 3•if-•Total
butter consumption intheCommunity (including special measures )decreased
by33,000 tonne3 (3•3,=)in1931 over theprevious year .Thestock position
in1931 v:a3satisfactory ;endofyear stocks showed afurther reduction to
1A'7,000' tonnes ,ofwhich only about 10,000 tonnes were held inpublic
stores .At31I-'ay1932 public intervention stocks hadrisen to34000 tonnes .
3.Theexpected increase inCommunity butter production duringI9S2 will almost
certainly beaccompanied byafurther fall inconsumpt ionand ,following two
very successful years ,bysome slowing down ofexports .This islikely to
result inaclosing stock attheendof1932 a'talevel substantially higher
thaii thelowvolume atthebeginning oftheyear .This should notbe
considered alarming forthemid-winter period but itunderlines that the
market balance which theCommission has sustained inrcfcent years isfragile .
4.Thedevelopment oftheUnited Kingdom butter market during 1973-31 isset
out inAnnex I.Aparticular point ofinterest isthat total disappearance
intheUnited Kingdom for1931 decreased by6.3;' andthat direct subsidised
consumption (household andcatering )showed areduction of6.9,' «Still ,at
theendof1931 theclosing stocks ofbutter ofCommunity origin in
United Kingdom ,cold 3tores were reduced by22,200 tonnes to42,800 tonnes .
(1)O.J. 11oL90,4.4.1981 ,p.13

Thostocks ofdeboniod HewZealand butter intheUnited Kindlon were reduced
from 60,943 tonnes atthe"bediming ofIjSl to44»600tonnes attheendof
theyear .Together ,this meant areduction of38T545tonnes inthetotal'
shock figure .
5.Ontheinternational butter market thedevelopment oftrade between 1975 '
and l>'3l shewed great buoyancy .Inline with this trend Community exports
increased substantially .Butter exports in1931 'were atthesecond highest
level recorded ,despite azero export refund throughout this period for
••
exports totheSoviet Union ,nonetheless ,inarecent period ourexports
have been below their peak level asaresult ofourrestraint onexports
tothe Soviet Union .This inturn hasleft thefield open forHewZealand
toexport butter totheSoviet Union andNewZealand iscurrently aprincipal
supplier tothat market .
6.Itisunlikely that world demand .will besufficiently strong tosustain a.
\rnT^r 1">i'.-ViV?l' ,\me Hnmrnnvii +t 1-111+ rS_rlT_ ^»tleast Until ?.11
operational refund isre-established fortho Soviet Union .Themain reason
forthis uncertainty inworld dairy product markets isthestrong increase
ofdairy stocks intheUnited States ,even after thesale of100,000 tonnes
ofCCCstocks ofbutter totheHewZealand Dairy Board .Theshortage of
dairy products inEastern 3urope still exists butfinancial problems
(credit andcurrencies )po3,3 aproblem ,forthese potential purchasers .On
along-tern basis ,however ,theprospects for'theinternational dairy trade
are positive .
w
7.During thelast seven –year period milk production ITewZealand hasfluctuated
between 6million and6.5million tonnes andcanbeexpected toremain stable .
Thesane stability maybeexpected with butter production figures which have
remained atabout 220,000 tonnes annually .Total exports ofbutter from
NewZealand decreased by27,000 tonnes to151,000 tonnes (l3;'>)during the
12–month period June I98O toJuno 1931 ascompared with theprevious
12–month period .Inaccordance with thespecial arrangement 94»000 tonnes
ofITewZealand butter were imported into theUnited Kingdom during the
calendar year I98I and92,000 tonnes d\iring theyear 1932 .Iftotal
NewZealand exports ofbutter continue in1932 atthe1931 level ofabout
150,000 tonnes ,theshare which theUnited Kingdom market represents for
NewZealand will beabout 61$ .

Takingintoaccountthefollowingfactors:
–thevaluetotheCommunityofthecontinuingarrangement aforco-oporation
withHewZealand,especiallyinrelationtopricelevelsinthird-country
markets
–therelativelyhighdependence OfNewZealandontheUnitedKingdom
marketforitsexports
–thefactthattheCouncil,initsdecisiononthequantitywhichmight

theCommissionproposesthatthequantityofbutterwhichtheUnitedKingdom

quantitiesbetween1930and}.98landbetween1931and.1932,isbroadlyin
linewiththeapproachtakenbytheCouncilwhenitlasttookitsdecision
onthethreeyeararrangement .
ThepresentlevyonNewZealandbutterimportedintotheUnitedKingdomis
77*52ECU/lOOkg.Thislevycorrespondstooftheinterventionprice
(forbutterof80/Sfatcontent)whichwa3validon1April1931.Since
