(Submitted by the Commission pursuant to Article 189A (2) of the EC Treaty on 18 April 1994)

The Commission transmitted to the Council the proposal referred to above on 24 March 1994.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 647/94, published in Official Journal of the European Communities No L 80, adjusted the guaranteed total quantities fixed in Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 with effect from 1 April 1993. In addition, account needs to be taken of the exhaustive checks that have just been completed in Italy. The Commission's initial proposal must therefore be amended as follows:

1. in the second recital, 'of the latter two Member States` is replaced by 'the three Member States`, and 'in the case of Greece` is replaced by 'in the case of Italy and Greece`;

2. the fourth recital is replaced by the following:

'Whereas the checks carried out in Italy have covered all milk producers, thereby enabling the guaranteed total quantity granted for 1994/1995 to be justifiably increased for 1993/1994; whereas, however, part of this increase, i.e. 298 030 tonnes, should be held in reserve with a view to allocating, where appropriate, reference quantities to producers once certain conditions have been fulfilled;`

2a. in the fifth recital, in the last phrase of the sentence '550 000 tonnes` is replaced by '900 000 tonnes`;

3. in Article 1 of the proposal:

- the table in Article 3 (2) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 is replaced by the following:

>TABLE>

- Article 3 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 is replaced by the following:

'(b) For the period 1 April 1994 to 31 March 1995 and subsequent periods:

>TABLE>

The increase in the total guaranteed quantities for deliveries for 1993/94 shall be granted in the case of Spain and carried over in the case of Greece and Italy for the period 1994/95. The total guaranteed quantity in respect of deliveries in Italy shall include a reserve of 298 030 tonnes with a view to allocating, where necessary and with the agreement of the Commission, reference quantities to producers who have instituted legal proceedings against the national authorities as a result of having their reference quantities withdrawn and who win their case. Before the period 1995/96, the Commission will send the Council a report accompanied by proposals on whether the increase in the case of Greece and the size of the increase in the case of Italy should be continued in 1995/96 and subsequent years.` (1) OJ No C 108, 16. 4. 1994, p. 9.
