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 17(4)
thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1466/95 (3), as
last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2184/98 (4),

possibilities under the conditions laid down in Regulation
(EC) No 1466/95;

it

is accordingly necessary to limit

Whereas
such
damaging consequences and to extend the time limit laid
down in the Regulations applicable to refunds so that
export operations which have not been completed on

regularised or another outlet within the same zone can be
found;

in accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
