COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1639/2002

of 13 September 2002

suspending the buying-in of butter in certain Member States

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

(2)

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17
May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk
and milk products (1), as last amended by Commission Regula-
tion (EC) No 509/2002 (2),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999
of 16 December 1999 laying down detailed rules for the appli-
cation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards
intervention on the market in butter and cream (3), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1614/2001 (4), and in parti-
cular Article 2 thereof,

Whereas:

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1595/2002 suspending
the buying-in of butter in certain Member States (5)
establishes the most recent
list of Member States in
which intervention is suspended. This list must be
adjusted as a result of the market prices communicated
by Belgium and Luxembourg under Article 8 of Regula-
tion (EC) No 2771/1999. In the interests of clarity, the
list in question should be replaced and Regulation (EC)
No 1595/2002 should be repealed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Buying-in of butter by invitation to tender as provided for in
Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 is hereby
suspended in Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Greece, the Nether-
lands, Austria, Luxembourg and Sweden.

(1)

Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999 lays down
that buying-in by invitation to tender is to be opened or
suspended by the Commission in a Member State, as
appropriate, once it is observed that, for two weeks in
succession, the market price in that Member State is
below or equal to or above 92 % of the intervention
price.

Regulation (EC) No 1595/2002 is hereby repealed.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on 14 September 2002.

Article 3

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

Done at Brussels, 13 September 2002.
