THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty

establishing the European

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),

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999

cation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 as regards

particular Article 2 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2771/1999 lays down
that buying-in 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.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1348/2004 (3) estab-
lishes 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 Ireland
and Slovakia pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No
2771/1999. In the interests of clarity, the list in question
should be replaced and Regulation (EC) No 1348/2004
should be repealed,

(EC) No 1255/1999 is hereby suspended in Belgium, Denmark,
