Proposal  for a 

COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EEC) 

amending  Regulation  (EEC) No  1307/85 authorizing  the 
Member  States  to grant  consumption  aid  for butter 

(presented  by  the  Commission) 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

Between  1979  and  1984/85,  the  Community  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 

prices  for  butter  and  the  Community  subsidy  was  completely  withdrawn  from 

1985/86.  However,  in order  to prevent  consumption  from  falling  as  a  result 

of  the  increase  in prices,  national  aid  has  been  authorised  since  then!  As 

^ 
Il 

direct  consumption  continues  to  drop  steadily,  it  is proposed  to  retain  the 

national  subsidy  option  for  1991/92  and  the  maximum  aid  level  is proposed  to 

be  kept  unchanged  at  50  ECU/100  kg.

the aid arrangement  introduced  by Regulation  (EEC) No  1307/85 should  be prolonged
