YEAR, THE SPECIAL NATIONAL PROVISIONS OF THE ITALIAN REPUBLIC, EXTENDED TO 31 MARCH 1970 THE PERIOD LAID DOWN IN THE LAST SUBPARAGRAPH OF ARTICLE 22 ( 2 ) OF REGULATION ( EEC ) NO 804/68 .
12 ( C ) NO ACTION WAS TAKEN BY THE COUNCIL BY 31 MARCH 1970 ON A PROPOSAL TO AUTHORIZE THE ITALIAN REPUBLIC TO RETAIN THE PROVISIONS IN FORCE REGARDING THE MILK CENTRES TEMPORARILY FOR A FURTHER PERIOD UNTIL 31 MARCH 1972 WHICH WAS SUBMITTED BY THE COMMISSION TO THE COUNCIL ON 17 MARCH 1970 . ( OJ C 43, 1970, P . 5 ).
13 ( D ) BY REGULATION ( EEC ) NO 1411/71 OF 29 JUNE 1971 WHICH WAS ADOPTED AFTER THE EVENTS WHICH ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE PROCEEDINGS PENDING BEFORE THE NATIONAL COURT AND IS THEREFORE INAPPLICABLE TO THOSE EVENTS, THE COUNCIL LAID DOWN ADDITIONAL RULES ON THE COMMON ORGANIZATION OF THE MARKETS IN PRODUCTS FALLING WITHIN TARIFF HEADING 04.01 OF THE COMMON CUSTOMS TARIFF ( OJ ENGLISH SPECIAL EDITION 1971 ( II ), P . 412 ).

THENCEFORTH IT WAS FOR THE COMMUNITY AUTHORITY ALONE TO DECIDE UPON THE PROVISIONAL MAINTENANCE OF ANY NATIONAL SYSTEM OF ORGANIZATION, INTERVENTION OR SUPERVISION RELATING TO THE PRODUCTS IN QUESTION . THE COUNCIL, BY LIMITING TO 31 DECEMBER 1969, THE DATE OF THE EXPIRY OF THE TRANSITIONAL PERIOD, THE CONCESSION GRANTED TO THE ITALIAN REPUBLIC WITH REGARD TO THE " MILK CENTRES ", CONCLUDED THAT THIS SYSTEM WAS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF THE ORGANIZATION OF THE MARKET ENVISAGED FOR THE SECTOR IN QUESTION .
15 ON THE OTHER HAND BY THE TERMS IN WHICH IT GRANTED THE ITALIAN REPUBLIC AN EXTENSION FOR THREE MONTHS OF THE PERIOD ORIGINALLY LAID DOWN BY REGULATION NO 2622/69, THE COUNCIL HAS SHOWN THAT IT ONLY CONSIDERED THE AUTHORIZATION GRANTED AS A MEASURE OF AN ESSENTIALLY TEMPORARY NATURE INTENDED TO MAKE THE ABOLITION OF THE SALES MONOPOLY COINCIDE WITH THE END OF THE THEN CURRENT MILK MARKETING SEASON .
