EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

Between 1979 and  1984/85 the Commission granted a direct consumption aid for 
butter in the United Kingdom,  Ireland, Denmark and Luxembourg.  For the 
1984/85 marketing  year  the aid was reduced along with  the intervention  price 
for butter and  the Community  subsidy was completely withdrawn  from 1985/86. 
In order however  to prevent consumption  from falling as a result  in the 
increase  in prices national aid was authorized.  Direct consumption  continues 
to drop steadily and  it is proposed  to retain  the national subsidy option 
(maximum 50 ECU/100 kg) for 1989/90.

OBSERVATIONS  : 

• 

The  butter  consumption  is supported  by national  subsidy and consequently 
there  is a smaller  need  for Community  subvention. 

Under  the assumption  that  only  Luxembourg  uses  this  possibility, the effect 
on  the Community  budget  is negligible.
