THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of
27 June 1968 on the common organisation of the market
in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regula-
tion (EC) No 1587/96 (2), and in particular Article 6(6)
thereof,

Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1609/88 was amended
in error instead of the second paragraph; whereas, there-
fore, the correct form of Article l should be re-established;

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 was repealed and
replaced by Regulation (EC) No 2571/97; whereas the
references should be adjusted accordingly;

in accordance with the opinion of
the Management

reduced prices of intervention butter intended for direct
consumption in the form of concentrated butter (3), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1802/95 (4), the butter
put up for sale must have been taken into storage before a
date to be determined; whereas the same procedure is
followed for the sale of butter under the arrangements
laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2571/97 of
15 December 1997 on the sale of butter at reduced prices
and the granting of aid for cream, butter and concentrated
butter for use in the manufacture of pastry products,
icecream and other foodstuffs (5), as last amended by
Regulation (EC) No 1982/98 (6);

as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2408/97 (8), sets
time of entry into storage for butter sold
the latest
pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 3143/85 and Commis-
sion Regulation (EEC) No 570/88 (9), as last amended by
Regulation (EC) No 531/96 (10); whereas that Regulation
has been amended several times to change that time of
entry; whereas it has been found that, in the last two
amendments made by Commission Regulations (EC) No
2224/97 (11) and (EC) No 2408/97, the first paragraph of
