COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2583/2001

of 19 December 2001

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2204/90 laying down additional general rules on the common
organisation of the market in milk and milk products as regards cheese

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Regulation (EEC) No 2204/90 (3) makes the use of casein
and caseinates in the manufacture of cheese subject to
prior authorisation and Article 3(3) of that Regulation
provides for a Community penalty to apply in the event
of unauthorised use which refers in particular to the
value of skimmed milk resulting from the intervention
price for skimmed-milk powder.

that penalty is to cancel out

Since the aim of
the
economic advantage resulting from unauthorised use,
the calculation of the penalty should be based on the
market price for skimmed-milk powder, which more
faithfully reflects the real cost of skimmed milk as a raw
material

in the manufacture of cheese,

Article 1

Article 3(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2204/90 is hereby replaced
by the following:

‘3. Without prejudice to the penalties laid down, or to
be laid down, by the Member State concerned, a sum equal
to 110 % of the difference between the value of skimmed
milk necessary for producing 100 kilograms of caseins and
caseinates resulting from the market price for skimmed-
milk powder, on the one hand, and the market price for
casein and caseinates, on the other hand, shall be due per
100 kilograms for quantities of casein and caseinates used
without authorisation.

Those values shall be established in accordance with the
procedure laid down in Article 42 of Council Regulation
(EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common
organisation of the market in milk and milk products (*).

(*) OJ L 160, 26.6.1999, p. 48.’

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day
following its publication in the Official Journal of the European
Communities.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member
States.
