EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

The aim of the appended proposal is to reduce the Community  aid on milk and 
certain milk products supplied to schoolchildren  from  125% of the target 
price for milk to 62.5%.  The proposal  is linked to the discontinuation  of 
the co-responsibility  levy on milk, revenue  from which was used to finance a 
substantial proportion of the cost of the abovementioned aid scheme. 

It is also proposed to repeal the provision on the financing of the aid.

Of 
amending Regulation  (EEC) No 1842/83 laying down general 
rules for the supply of milk and certain milk products 
at reduced prices to schoolchildren 

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  196 8 on the 

common organization of the market in milk and milk products(1), as last 

amended by Regulation  (EEC) No 2071/92(2), and in particular Article 26(3) 

thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 

Whereas Article  1(3) of council Regulation  (EEC) No 1842/83 of 

30 June  1983(3), as last amended by Regulation  (EEC) No 222/88(4),  fixes 

the Community aid on whole milk at 125% of the target price for milk 

applicable for the milk year concerned; whereas Article 3 of that 

Regulation provides for the aid measure concerned to be partly financed by 

revenue from the co-responsibility  levy introduced by Council 

Regulation  (EEC) No  1079/77(5); whereas the latter Regulation was repealed 

by council Regulation  (EEC) No 1029/93<6) with effect from 1 April 1993; 

whereas, in the view of the budget impact on the one hand and of the 

advisability of maintaining the school milk scheme on the other hand, the 

community aid should be reduced and Article 3 as referred to above should 

be repealed,
