COMMISSION DECISION

of 3 February 1998

amending Commission Decision 88/566/EEC listing the products referred to in
the second subparagraph of Article 3(1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1898/87
as a result of the accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden

(98/144/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1898/87
of 2 July 1987 on the protection of designations used in
marketing of milk and milk products (1) as last amended
by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden,
and in particular Article 4(2)(b) thereof,

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1898/87 establishes the
principle that the descriptions ‘milk’ and ‘milk products’
may not be used for milk products other than those
described in Article 2 thereof; whereas, as an exception, in
accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 3(1)
of that Regulation, this principle is not applicable to the
designation of products the exact nature of which is
known because of traditional use and/or when the desig-
nations are clearly used to describe a characteristic quality
of the product;

Whereas Commission Decision 88/566/EEC of 28
October 1988 (2) lists the products which benefit from this
exception;

Whereas, following the accession to the European Union
of Austria, Finland and Sweden, the new Member States
submitted lists of the products which they deem to meet,
within their own territories, the criteria for the abovemen-
tioned exception; whereas
the Annex to Decision
88/566/EEC should be completed by including the

names of the products from the new Member States, in
the relevant languages, which can benefit from the excep-
tion;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in
accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Milk and Milk Products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Annex of Decision 88/566/EEC is amended as
follows:

1. the products listed in point 1 of the Annex to this

Decision are added to section II;

2. the new sections X and XI set out in point 2 of the

Annex to this Decision are added.

Article 2

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Done at Brussels, 3 February 1998.
