*****COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 442/84  of 21 February 1984  on the granting of aid for butter from private storage for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs and amending Regulation (EEC) No 1245/83  THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1600/83 (2), and in particular Articles 6 (7) and 28 thereof,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1223/83 of 20 May 1983 on the exchange rates to be applied in agriculture (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1877/83 (4), and in particular Article 4 (3) thereof,  Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 262/79 of 12 February 1979 on the sale of butter at reduced prices for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 430/84 (6), is one of the special measures taken to encourage the disposal of butter stocks by permitting additional sales;  Whereas it is important to ensure that the restriction of this operation to butter from public stocks does not have a harmful effect on the removal from storage of butter accorded the private storage aid referred to in Article 6 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68; whereas, pursuant to paragraph 3 of that Article, and in order to maintain outlets for butter from private storage, provision should be made for its use for the purposes laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 262/79;  Whereas the use of butter from private storage should be subject to the same detailed rules as those laid down previously in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1468/79 of 13 July 1979 on the granting of aid for butter from private storage for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs (7), repealed by Regulation (EEC) No 1014/83 (8); whereas it is also appropriate, particularly with regard to monitoring, that the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1687/76 (9), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 380/84 (10), should apply in this case;  Whereas the aid should be fixed at a level allowing the regular entry of intervention products on to the market, in particular by maintaining the necessary relationship between quantities removed from storage and consumer needs, while respecting the priority given to public storage by Community rules; whereas account should also be taken of the facilities for using butter from private storage and their economic impact; whereas for these various reasons the level of aid should be lower than the minimum price fixed for the sale of butter from public storage during the corresponding period; whereas the difference must be calculated as a function of the abovementioned requirements and their development according to the market situation;  Whereas the introduction of this Regulation makes it necessary, for the purpose of applying monetary compensatory amounts, to lay down a coefficient in Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1245/83 of 20 May 1983 fixing the monetary compensatory amounts and certain coefficients and rates required for their application (11), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 405/84 (12);  Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,  HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:  Article 1  Aid shall be granted, for butter under storage contract pursuant to Article 8 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No  985/68 (1) for at least four months and whose release from stock is carried out during the stock release period fixed in Article 24 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 685/69 (2), when such butter is intended for use in the manufacture of pastry products, ice-cream and other foodstuffs referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 262/79.  Article 2  1. Applications for aid referred to in Article 4 may be submitted to the intervention agency only during the week beginning on the Monday following the expiry of the period for the submission of tenders referred to in Article 12 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 262/79 (period of granting of aid).  2. Aid may be granted only for quantities of butter of not less than one tonne.  Article 3  1. The amount of aid expressed in ECU shall be calculated on the basis of the difference between the buying-in price of the butter paid by the intervention agency granting aid on the date of expiry of the period for the submission of individual tenders referred to in Article 2 (1) and the minimum selling price referred to in Article 16 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 262/79 for the individual invitation to tender concerned, less 5 ECU per 100 kilograms.  However, the reduction of 14 ECU per 100 kilograms in the minimum selling price referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 18 (2) of that Regulation shall apply to the minimum price referred to above with regard to the person signing the contract who has undertaken to comply with the conditions laid down in that subparagraph.  2. The representative rate used to convert the aid into national currency shall be that in force on the date of expiry of the period for the submission of individual tenders referred to in Article 2 (1).  3.

An application for aid may not be withdrawn.  5. The intervention agency shall acknowledge receipt of the application as soon as possible and not later than the last day of the week following the period during which aid may be granted pursuant to Article 2 (1).  6.
