Brussels, 11 March 1991 

Proposal  for a 

COUNCIL REFLATION  (EgC) 

amending  Council  Regulation  (EEC) No 1336/86  fixing  compensation 

for  the definitive discontinuation of milk  production 

(presented  by the Commission)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

In 1986 a programme for the voluntary discontinuation of milk production was 
introduced in the Community to bring about a 3% reduction in the guaranteed total 
quantities for milk.  Where the voluntary take-up of the programme was 
insufficient to bring about a 3% reduction, the Member States had to apply an 
across-the-board reduction in the reference quantities of all producers. 

This proposal authorises Germany to apply this programme only by means of the 
obligatory across-the-board reduction, which seems, as things stand, to 
correspond better to the economic and administrative requirements of the eastern 
part of Germany.

Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION  (EEC) No 

/91 

of 

amending Council Regulation  (EEC) No 1336/86 fixing compensation 
for the definitive discontinuation of milk production 

THE COUNCIL 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(*), as last amended by 
Regulation  (EEC) No 3641/90(2), and in particular Article 5c(6) thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(3), 

Whereas Council Regulation  (EEC) No 3577/90 of 4 December 1990(4) lays down the 

transitional measures and adjustments required in the agricultural sector as a 

result of German unification; 

Whereas, pursuant to the said measures and adjustments, provision was made to 

apply Council Regulation  (EEC) No 1336/86 of 6 May 1986 fixing compensation for 

the definitive discontinuation of milk production^), as last amended by 

Regulation  (EEC) No 3577/90, in the territory of the former German Democratic 

Republic; whereas it would not be in the general interest to bring about the 3% 

reduction in overall production through a voluntary programme of cessation of 

activities; whereas, therefore, Germany should be authorized to reduce 

immediately and by an equal amount each of the reference quantities, without 

prejudice to applications already submitted pursuant to Regulation  (EEC) 
No 2321/86 (6), as last amended by Regulation  (EEC) No 3776/90 (7);
