THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Article 1

Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 343/2006 is replaced by the
following text:

and milk products (1),

‘Article 1

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

the list of Member States in which buying-in for butter is
open, as provided for in Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC)
No 1255/1999.

On the basis of most recent communications by Latvia,
the Commission has observed that butter market prices
have been equal or superior to 92 % of the intervention
price for two consecutive weeks. Intervention buying-in
should therefore be suspended in that Member State.
Latvia should therefore be withdrawn from the list estab-
lished in Regulation (EC) No 343/2006.

Buying-in of butter as provided for in Article 6(1) of Regu-
lation (EC) No 1255/1999 is hereby open in the following
Member States:
— Germany
— Estonia
— Spain
— France
— Italy
— Ireland
— Netherlands
— Poland
— Portugal
— Finland
— Sweden
— United Kingdom.’

Article 2

Regulation (EC) No 343/2006 should therefore be
amended accordingly,
