EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

Art.  1(3) point  (b) of  Council  Regulation  (EEC) No  985/68  indicates  the 

classification  of  butter  required  in the  different  Member  States  In order  to 

allow  for  purchase  into public  intervention, use of  the  private  storage 

scheme  and  various  butter  disposal  programmes. 

The  Danish  government  has  decided  to  transfer  the  rights  and  obligations 

connected  with  the  initial  classification  "Lurmsrket"  to  the Danish  Dairy 

Board  and  the  "Lurmsrket"  will  no  longer  be  controlled  by  the  public 

authorities.  However,  butter  under  an  alternative  classification  : "smtfr af 

fdrste  kvalitet"  (butter  of  first  quality) will  continuously  be  controlled 

as  "Lurmsrket"  was  controlled  in the  past.  The  above-mentioned  Council 

Regulation  is proposed  changed  accordingly.

COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EEC) No 

/91 

Of 

amending Regulation  (EEC) No 985/68  laying down general  rules 
for  intervention on  the market  In butter  and crream 

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 products1'1), as  last amended by 

Regulation  (EEC) No 364l/90(2), and  in particular  Article 6(6) thereof, 

Having  regard  to the proposal  from  the Commission, 

Whereas Council  Regulation  (EEC) No 985/68<3), as  last  amended  by Regulation 

(EEC) No 3644/90<4),  provides  that  butter  bought  in by  intervention  agencies 

must  meet  certain  requirements; whereas one of  those requirements  is that  the 

butter  be subject  to controls by  the public authorities and be graded  first 

quality  in the Member  State where  it  is produced; whereas  the quality of butter 

graded  "lurmsket"  in Denmark, unlike butter  graded  "smtfr af fdrste kvalitet", is 

no  longer  subject  to controls by the Danish public authorities; whereas the 

designation  in Article  1 of  that  Regulation  regarding Denmark  should  be amended 

accordingly, 

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 

Article 1 

The second  indent  of Article  1(3)(b) of Regulation  (EEC) No 985/68  is hereby 

replaced  by  the  following: 

"-  graded  'smdr  af ftfrste kvalitet' as regards Danish  butter,".
