constitute an appreciable outlet for olive oil; whereas it is

amending Regulation (EEC) No 1079/77 as regards the co-responsibility levy on milk and

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 
thereof, the application of that Regulation should therefore be 
extended for the 1990/91 milk year; 
Whereas the trend on the market situation is such that the 
rate of the levy for the 1990/91 milk year should be fixed at 
1,5 % of the target price for milk, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social 
Committee, 
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1079/77 (»), as last 
amended by Regulation (EEC) No . . (2), introduced a 
co-responsibility levy to apply until the end of the 1989/90 
milk year and covering, in principle, all milk supplied to 
dairies and certain milk products sold at the farm; Article 1 
Regulation (EEC) No 1079/77 is hereby amended as 
follows: 
1. In Article 1 (1), 'and 1989/90' is replaced by', 1989/90 
and 1990/91'. 
2. The following paragraph is added to Article 2: 
'12. For the 1990/91 milk year, the levy shall be 1,5 % 
of the target price for milk.' 
Whereas the object of levy was to achieve better balance on 
the market for milk by establishing a more direct link 
between production and the possibilities of disposing of milk 
products, in view of the importance of the public interests 
involved; whereas the data and forecasts at present available 
show that the abovementioned objectives will probably not 
be attained before the end of the period laid down; whereas 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 from the beginning of the 1990/91 milk 
year. 
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member

(Submitted by the Commission to the Council

Explanatory memorandum 
1. On 13 September 1989 the Commission sent the Council a proposal1 for a 
Council Directive amending Directive 84/647/EBC on the use of vehicles 
hired without drivers for the carriage of goods by road.2 
The aim of this proposal was to abolish the option open to the Member 
States to: 
exclude own-account carriage from the scope of the Directive; and 
require a minimum hire period. 
2. At the part-session of 16 March 1990, Parliament approved the Commission 
proposal, subject to the addition of an Article in which the Commission 
undertakes to propose the abolition of the remaining restrictions on 
hiring commercial vehicles. 
3. The arguments in favour of this amendment are set out in the legislative 
Resolution adopted by Parliament.
